Filed under: 9:30 Coffee Break

It's another topic suggested by our intrepid topic-maven Loran for today's 9:30 Coffee Break:songs addressed to everybody. We're looking for the word "everybody" in the song title, or prominently in the lyrics.

Songs played:
Nilsson "Everybody's Talkin"
Tears for Fears "Everybody Wants to Rule the World"
Buzzcocks "Everybody's Happy Nowadays"
The Beatles "Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except Me and my Monkey"
R.E.M. "Everybody Hurts"
Van Halen "Everybody Wants Some"

Just checking to make sure someone suggested "Everybody Everybody" by black box! I used to play that for my son when he was two and he would dance (who wouldn't?!). It was his favorite song. I just told him this story (he's four now) and he said it's still his favorite song. (I bet he doesn't even remember it!)

Posted by Kristy | November 29, 2011 9:16 AM

The two I thought of first were
Everybody Needs Somebody to Love, Solomon Burke or Blues Brothers or Wilson Pickett--all great versions. Burke co-wrote the song.
and
Todd Rundgren, Everybody's Going to Heaven/King Kong Reggae, from his Todd album
great song: "Everybody's going to heaven, 'cause already we all been through hell..."
