Emily's novel was the inspiration for the debut single, "[[Wuthering Heights (song)|Wuthering Heights]]", by UK singer-songwriter [[Kate Bush]] released in January 1978 as the lead single from Bush's debut album ''[[The Kick Inside]]''. It uses unusual harmonic progressions and irregular phrase lengths, with lyrics inspired by the location and characters of the 1847 novel.{{cn|date=November 2024}}
