I’m literally listening to the song as I write this. Tears for Fears recorded what I consider to be one of the best songs in the entire world back in 1985. It’s been used in numerous movies (best used in the movie Real Genius ending credits). That song, as you know, is “Everybody Wants to Rule the World.” It was actually used in a video I posted to this site earlier today. Someone decided to make the Game of Thrones Season 7 trailer into an 80s themed trailer and what song did they use? You guessed it.
So not only do I think it’s one of my favorite songs of all time, I personally think it’s the single most replayable song in the history of music. I’m not even remotely joking. Do you EVER turn this song off on the radio? When it’s on TV do you EVER not sing along or leave whatever’s on, on? I wish there were specifics to describe why I feel this way. I want to use some scientific or musical formula to support my case.
Honestly I think it’s the background that’s so constant for the entire song. It just doesn’t stop and yet it moves you along and you never get tired of it, ever. God I’m having an awful time explaining this. I just challenge you to find a song that you can play at least 100 times in a row and not get tired of. This is one of a very small amount of tunes where you can do just that. Am I alone on this?
