"Something Good" is a song released by Utah Saints in 1992. It was first included as the lead song on a seven-track EP titled Something Good, then later included on the Utah Saints album. "Something Good" contains a vocal sample from Kate Bush's "Cloudbusting" (originally appearing on her 1985 album Hounds of Love). Issued as a single, the track hit number four in the UK Singles Chart as well as number seven on the U.S. Hot Dance Club Play chart. The BBC used the song during its coverage of the Opening Ceremony of the Barcelona Olympic Games of 1992, and was also used for Carlton Television's pre-launch trailer.

In 2008 the track was remixed as "Something Good '08", and released with a new music video. Bush's vocal sample was re-recorded by Davina Perera — a West End singer/actress and former Pop Idol contestant — but remained the focal point of the song. The remix entered the top 10 on downloads alone, climbing to number eight after the 17 March CD release — the band's first top 20 hit in fifteen years.[1] The video won the category for Best Dance Video at the UK Music Video Awards 2008.[2]
