"Eat the Music" is a song written and recorded by Kate Bush. Columbia Records released it as the lead single from Bush's album The Red Shoes in the U.S., while EMI chose "Rubberband Girl" everywhere else in the world. It was released in the Netherlands and a few other countries 7 or 8 months later, but never in the UK as an A-side, except for a small handful of extremely rare 7" vinyls and promo CD singles, which remain in circulation despite being recalled by the label.
"Eat the Music" is about opening up in relationships to reveal who we really are inside. The single reached number ten in the U.S. Modern Rock Tracks chart.
Tricky included the song on his edition of the mix album series Back to Mine.

Famous quotes containing the words eat and/or music:
“Reading any collection of a man’s quotations is like eating the ingredients that go into a stew instead of cooking them together in the pot. You eat all the carrots, then all the potatoes, then the meat. You won’t go away hungry, but it’s not quite satisfying. Only a biography, or autobiography, gives you the hot meal.”
—Christopher Buckley, U.S. author. A review of three books of quotations from Newt Gingrich. “Newtie’s Greatest Hits,” The New York Times Book Review (March 12, 1995)
“When in our music God is glorified,
and adoration leaves no room for pride,
it is as though the whole creation cried Alleluia!”
—Frederick Pratt Green (b. 1903)
