"Them Heavy People" is a song written and recorded by Kate Bush. It was released as a single in Japan only from Bush's album The Kick Inside.
The song is about religion, and the teachings of Jesus, Gurdjieff, or whomever one believes in, and vehicles that enable us to unleash the powers we hold inside ourselves. This was the only worldwide release of "Them Heavy People" as an A-side.
A Seiko logo appears on the insert's back side, which makes it Bush's only commercial release featuring any kind of product endorsement.
A live recording of this song was featured on the On Stage release in 1979.
