Everybody Wants to Rule the World
Tears for Fears’ earliest release of “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” on file came out in 1985. Chris Hughes, Roland Orzabal and Ian Stanley are credited as its writers. The earliest release on file is The Stranglers’, from 1982. Also recorded by Gloria Gaynor (released 1986), Lettuce (released 2019) and Lorde (released 2013), among 232 recordings of this work on MusicBrainz.
Gloria Gaynor put her voice on this one in 1986, and Lorde came back to it in 2013, so the song keeps drawing singers you would never file next to each other. Spin the band's own cut, then hers, and hear what she does with it.
Credited writers: Chris Hughes, Roland Orzabal and Ian Stanley.
