All about Achy Breaky Heart


Achy Breaky Heart is a hit country music song written by Muscle Shoals songwriter Don Von Tress in 1989. Originally the lyrics were "Achin' Breakin' Heart" but were changed to "Achy Breaky Heart" by Billy Ray Cyrus on his 1992 CD Some Gave All. As Cyrus' debut single and signature song, it made him famous. Von Tress toured with Cyrus for seven years before leaving to write and record songs on his own.



History

The change in lyrics came about when a friend of Billy Ray Cyrus split up with his wife. Cyrus went to see him to make sure he was okay. When Cyrus asked his friend how he was feeling his friend said: "My heart's all achy, breaky". The music video for the song was filmed during a concert at the Paramount Arts Center in Ashland, Kentucky. It was nominated for 'Record of the Year' in the 1993 Grammy Awards but lost.
The song renewed a popular interest in line dancing and mullet hairstyles in the United States and Canada.

Body Double Proof!

In January 2008, a video surfaced on Youtube which showed Cyrus perfoming as Hannah Montana on her Best of Both Worlds Tour. The video shows Hannah being ushered off the stage via a trap door and being replaced by another girl who is dressed like her. The body-double holds the microphone and lip-syncs the rest of the song. On January 11, 2008, Cyrus' publicist claimed that the video was not fake and confirmed that the body double was actually being used throughout the tour. The public relation firm representing Cyrus stated: "....a body double appears approximately one to two minutes prior to the end of the song in order to allow Miley to remove the Hannah wig and costume and transform into Miley for her solo set. Other than during this very brief transitional moment in the show, Miley performs live during the entirety of both the Hannah and Miley segments of the concert."
