Kate Bush - Don't Push Your Foot On The Heartbrake (1979 Xmas Special)

[@robibm2003]

During the 1970's, I was completely in love with Joni Mitchell and Ann Wilson. In the 1980's it was Kate. God, she's just incredible!

[@Chrisamusic1]

I have always been in love with Dreamboat Annie and Kate!

[@trevorbrown6654]

The first few Kate Bush albums are sensational and this is a great example of that. She looked and sounded unlike anything that had ever come before, and most of her music she wrote herself. Here she is stunning audiences 7 years before Lady Gaga was born. She has also been smart enough to release her albums sparingly since the mid 1980s and they are almost always well received. She also hates publicity and is something of an enigma, rarely appearing in the UK newspapers although I gather that she has quite a sense of humour, especially about herself. I'm not sure if she had much success in the U.S and her music may not be to everyone's taste but I reckon a juke box musical could be fashioned out of her biggest hits

[@lovelesskidfu6767]

Kate is the best !! And aways remember: " Don't put your blues where your shoes should be".

[@Picnicl]

It seems to me that, from 1980 onwards, Kate Bush's songs tended to only implicitly reference 'rock and roll' via dance or via progressive rock. But songs like Don't Push Your Foot on the Heartbrake and James and the Cold Gun show that she could be a 'bona fide' rocker too. The real deal in every sense.

[@beathusk1018]

Violin too 😉

[@paulamiles9559]

As usual, Kate's dancers crush it.

[@SonOfTamriel]

This is so far ahead of it's time it's truly incredible. She is so damn talented and sexy the way she ends this song is mesmerizing

[@rabahelaawar2499]

I did not know that she performed it on a Xmas special!!! LOVED IT!!! The dance, the story, the choreography... Wow!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@SonOfTamriel]

She also performed The Wedding List as a Xmas special lol, which is a song about revenge and murder. Totally epic track

[@hollyboulter2036]

I feel Like I found a gift. I have watched this over and over, it makes me feel she is not of this world, pure genius. Love her❤️❤️❤️

[@miserablerhurensohn]

It's weird that I ALWAYS have this song pop into my head in the late New England Autumn while I'm driving to work in the dark and the roads are covered with leaves after a hard rain fall. Greased roads - brakes - skidding wheels.

I'm consistently reminded of why she's one of my all-time favorite musicians! ~K

[@MarkPMus]

She raises the art of dancing to a completely different stratosphere from the typical Legs & Co fodder of 1979. They were like reading The Sun. Kate’s dancers are like The Guardian! 😃😃 They deserve at least as much credit for this performance as Kate.

[@annother3350]

[@iLikeTheUDK]

I noticed that from her very first TV appearances up to this, and also in the Tour of Life, the outro to Wuthering Heights sort of became her signature closing song. It does seem to have this quality to it which makes it good to use as that.

[@SpiritGirlSF]

@oddn Because of her intention to dance as she sang, her sound engineers used a wire coat hanger and a radio microphone to fashion the first headset mic to be used by a rock performer, at least since the Swedish group Spotnicks used a very primitive version in the early 1960s.[1][26]

@oddn The mic is up her chuff. Actually the lip sync suggestion is probably nearer the mark and more mature.

Pretty sure she lip-syncs but I don't care... Brilliant! Hard to dance like that and sing at the same time. A uniquely gifted woman!

[@alexgalipeau6443]

She doesn't even have a microphone, so... yeah

[@e2e353]

Watch her performance of this song during her Hammersmith Odeon performance. Similar routine and she's singing there.

[@deepnation10009]

She might be mimicking to a performance track because this is not the original vocal.

is it just me or can no-one else see her mic?? It sounds live, which is why i'm confused as to where the mic is..?

[@drumcatfairy77]

Lip sync....

[@fionamaddock3984]

It's a pre-recorded 'live' version, so she can do the dance but give it an overall 'live' feel! She did this with Hammer Horror so she could concentrate on the dance. There's no way she could have danced that one and sung live!

[@adolforodolfo6929]

@@fionamaddock3984 She did sing this live (and dance) on the 1979 Tour of Life - but she isn't singing live here. And you're right about Hammer Horror, even on the Tour of Life she lip-synched that one because it was too difficult to dance and sing at the same time.

I thought I was just imagining things but has it occurred to anyone else that the infamous Madonna has copied Kate in many ways ESPECIALLY from Kate’s performances? For example look up Madonna’s Confessions tour and the song “Sorry “. Also in the very old 1985 concerts of Madonna’s had two dancers with her....anyone recall Kate’s “Violin” video? Hmmmm...🤨🤔 And they say Gaga has copied a pioneer called Madonna? 🤨
