"Eat the Music" is a song written and recorded by British singer-songwriter Kate Bush. Columbia Records released it as the lead single from Bush's seventh album, The Red Shoes (1993), in the United States, while EMI chose "Rubberband Girl" everywhere else in the world.

In the United Kingdom, a handful of 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, and a number of other countries. The single reached #10 in the US Modern Rock Tracks chart.[3]

Tricky included the song on his edition of the mix album series Back to Mine.
