"Eat the Music" is a song written and recorded by Kate Bush. Columbia Records published it as the lead release from Bush's album The Red Shoes in the United States, while EMI chose "Rubberband Girl" everywhere else in the world. In the United Kingdom, a small handful of extremely rare 7" and promotional CD-singles were produced, but were recalled by EMI Records at the last minute. A commercial release followed in 1994 in the Netherlands and Australia, along with a handful of other countries.
