"Rubberband Girl" is a song by English singer-songwriter Kate Bush released on the 6th of September 1993 by EMI Records. It was the lead single of her seventh album, The Red Shoes (1993).
The single peaked at No. 12 on the UK Singles Chart and charted for 5 weeks. It was Bush's last top-twenty hit in the UK until "King of the Mountain", which peaked at No. 4 in 2005.[3] The song was a moderate success worldwide, reaching the top 40 in Australia, Ireland, the Netherlands and New Zealand. In the United States, it peaked at No. 88 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
A few years later, Bush was still a modern rock darling, earning a top 10 airplay hit with "Rubberband Girl". Whimsical and quirky, the tune is a "silly pop song", she told Mojo in 2011...
