Everybody Wants to Rule the World

February 3, 2015 • 6:16 am

People decry the popular music of the 1980s, and in general they’re right. But there are exceptions, and this song, by the British group Tears for Fears, is one. Released in 1985, it rose to #1 on the U.S.’s Billboard Hot 100 chart and got the award for Britain’s best single in 1986.

It was the Beatles who turned rock into an art form, and you can tell because when you hear their songs, or at least the later ones, you don’t want to dance—you want to listen. So it is with this song, originally considered a throwaway for the group. The words, a paean to enjoying life and abjuring ambition and the drive for power, are fine, but it’s the tune that makes it great. I can’t imagine dancing to this song, but I suppose many of you did. The opening riff, with the off-tempo guitar chords, followed by five drumbeats and then the powerful beat, is a classic.

I’m not keen on this group’s other songs, but this one’s a keeper. It was filmed live in 2006—21 years after the original release—but Curt Smith hasn’t lost much of his voice.

  1. I like 80’s music. I was a teenager in the 70s–there was a lousy decade (“You never hear anyone say ‘Gee, I really hope KC & the Sunshine Band get back together.'”–Bobcat Goldthwait). Oddly enough, I stopped following popular music around 1990, when I turned 30. It all started sounding like noise. I realized I was getting old. Damn kids and the crap they listen to! Dagnabbit!

      1. Yeah, there was some good music in the 70s, but as far as the more “pop”-type music, I liked the 80s better.

        1. Right – that influence fed into pop music. I am your contemporary but I carried on listening to new stuff into the 90s. Rarely now as it is virtually impossible to shock (recall the Anti-Nowhere League having a single banned?) or do anything new.

    2. Heh. I stopped listening pretty much in 1980 when I turned 30. Driven away by disco, I suppose.

      1. Hmm. I have music in my iTunes library from from every decade since the 1930s, and by artists whose first hits were in each decade.

        Maybe I’m unusual that way …

        1. (Well, I exaggerate. But only a bit. As I grew older I found myself listing to opera and letting the pop world mostly thump on without me.)

        3. No, I don’t think you are unusual. People who love music usually have very broad tastes. I listen to everything from early blues and jazz (1920s) to classical to rock. Earliest is probably The Chocolate Dandies and latest is The Orwells… and I am an old goat. Still good music being produced in many genres.

          1. Yes, I think there is a lot in this, Nick. The older I get the more I appreciate all forms of music. But it goes a bit further than that. As young tribalists we all think this genre is just ‘better’ than others. And the others are by definition cr… rubbish.

            For instance, I hate Queen, say, with an intensity that denies the compliment of rational opposition, as Jane Austen said in another context. But I could not honestly construct a reasonable argument proving the pompous, bombastic scrotitude of le Mercury: hell, against my better wishes, I even think the guitar work on ‘I want to break free’ is bordering on the tasteful, beautiful and intriguing.

            I’m at the point where I think, at least in pop, there has to be a minimum level of craft skill (I come from the punk generation). Ideas minus craft equals bulls**t. x

      2. Woot! I actually agree with GBJames on something 🙂

        I agree about the awfulness of ‘disco’ (while noting, of course, that not everything that was played in discos was disco, mercifully)

    3. I agree about ’80s music. Every bit as good a decade for music as any. Aesthetics are subjective, but you are missing out if you turn your nose up at the ’80s.

      I’m with Ant down below. I’ve found plenty of great music from just about any genre and any time period. From classical to metal.

      1. Well, I wasn’t thinking of “classical” — but I have orchestral and choral stuff from every *century* from 12 (Hildegard von Bingen) to 21 (Philip Glass, Symphony no. 9).

        I might have mentioned this before, but one of my most leftfield albums is _Sabbatum_ by the Estonian medieval music group Rondellus: Black Sabbath songs translated into Latin and arranged for medieval instruments.

        Opera, though, GB, generally leaves my cold, apart from arias, choruses and overtures. I find recitative tedious.

        /@

        2. Rondellus sounds very interesting. I will have to look into that.

          My mental image is something like Killswitch Engage covering Dio in the court yard of a castle at night with torches.

      Yep, terrible, terrible decade …

        1. What, no Bo Donaldson & The Heywoods? jblilie don’t be a hero!

          No Starlight Vocal Band? No “afternoon delight” for you!

          Kidding aside, great list.

          1. Exactly. Aside from those artists, it was a terrible decade. (And what have the Romans ever done for us?)

          2. Order, public sanitation and the roads, I’ll give you that.

            Barry Manilow, Air Supply, Ambrosia, Olivia Newton-John and Sean Cassidy. Name an act that “sucks” and I can still name something of theirs that I like.

            The DiFranco Family.

      2. The good stuff was loaded toward the early half of the decade. Midway it began to turn… Disco. Disco. Disco. Disco. Disco. Disco.

        1. Disco makes/made me gag; but to dismiss the 1970s because of disco? (Or harvest gold/avacado/burnt orange, shag carpeting, bell bottom pants, and big hair …)

          3. I used to talk all kinds of trash about music from the 70’s (I was born in ’77) Then I got my shovel out and i dug a little bit and I found stuff like Robin Trower’s Bridge of Sighs or Pentagram’s Forever My Queen. It kind of makes me wonder whether or not people’s ears were working correctly when they bought all those Olivia Newton John records.

          4. I like some disco. I was once on a dance team, participated in a competition that was aired by a local TV station. I danced two numbers and one was disco. I trained for months, and then on the night of the competition I was handed the shoes I was supposed to wear. Platforms about 4″ thick. A slight oversite that we never trained in those shoes.

        2. That might be true in terms of radio play, record sales, nightclubs and so on. But Darkness on the Edge of Town, Some Girls and The Stranger all came out in 1978 as I recall, and the post-punk sound was already catching on in 1977 on my radio (in Los Angeles). Perhaps it was in its death throes, but rock n’ roll wasn’t quite dead yet.

          I don’t recall when Jerry called TOD, but for some reason I peg it to the night John Lennon was shot.

          5. Indeed, my ten-year old son and his friends love it! They discovered it online on their own.

            I was never a big Nugent fan, but he had some seriously rocking songs.

            Can’t stand him these days, period, because of his politics …

          6. Yes Nugent has been on my sh**t list for some time because of his politics. It’s very convenient that my very favorites are all pacifist lefties – and surely not a coincidence. Come to think of it, my rock heroes had as much to do with forming my worldview as did my Roosevelt Democrat dad. If any of my faves are as reactionary and racist as Nugent I’d be shocked – so it’s good that they keep their mouths shut if they are. I have no idea if Lynard Skynard are the backward rednecks “Sweet Home Alabama” makes them out to be, but that one song is enough to close my ears to them.

          7. Yeah, I’m, with you on all that.

            But I do have a soft spot that ol’ suthrn rock.

            Sweet Home Alabama was a reaction by Ronnie Van Zant to Neil Young’s song, Alabama. They were friends anyways. And, yes, I do believe they were pretty much just as redneck as the songs imply (some fine musicians though).

            I don’t know their politics; but it wouldn’t surprise me if they were teabaggers.

          8. Hey, I hate the man’s politics as much as anyone else, but the guitar riff on “Stranglehold”, which may be the single most objectionable rock song ever, is still a tooth chipper.

        1. Indeed, the true golden age of rock, never to return I’m afraid. (And I wasn’t listening during the 60s, I was too young; that came later.)

    5. Earliest that I recall: Judith Durham, and Linda Ronstadt with ‘Different Drum’. And they are still at the top of my ‘perfect voices’ list. (Do I have to qualify that as ‘perfect voices when they were in their prime’?)

      Most recent: Probably Mark Knopfler (no NOT for his voice, for how he makes a guitar sing)

  2. Oh, I wasn’t aware that the 80s pop music generally was decried – quite contrary, 80s pop songs have something like a cult status, at least in Germany. 80s parties are a common event, I think (although I’ve never been to one). That could be different in the US, of course.
    I think if there’s a general consensus, it’s that 80s clothes and hairstyles were quite intolerable. But not music. I’d like to mention the British band Talk Talk who was a real original and influential musical force of the 80s. You could easily categorize Michael Jackson as an 80s pop phenomenon. Certainly Prince and Eurythmics.

    1. Cult status – yes, Southern Death Cult, later Death Cult & finally – if too rockily – The Cult!

      I loved that sort of 80s music – Indy, post punk, when music seemed for a while liberated from the dire early/mid 70s. In those days I went to loads of gigs, & ended up in a band that only played a couple of times but rehearsed endlessly.

  3. Mad World is surely their best single! And Sowing the Seeds of Love was pretty good… however I admit that those three songs are all that I know of their music. To explain – at that time I was deeply gothic – Sisters of Mercy, Flesh for Lulu, Jeffrey Lee Pierce & Gun Club etc!

    2. Also Shout which I hated because once it was in my head I couldn’t get rid of it.

      Damn, it’s happened again.

      1. I didn’t like their Songs from the Big Chair album. The Hurting was much better. Mad World is a good song that spoke to me when I was that age. It has been redone a few times with good results too.

  4. Excellent choice, but ‘not keen on this group’s other songs’! Mad World, Pale Shelter, Change, Shout, Head over Heels, Sowing the Seeds of Love and Woman in Chains are all classics. And check out Call Me Mellow and Size of Sorrow from their last studio album.

    1. I had the vinyl UK import of The Hurting, which I bought for Madworld and Pale Shelter.

      70’s vs. ’80’s is hard to debate, now. Like cream, the good stuff has floated to the top, while the dross has disappeared.

      Remember, nostalgia isn’t what it used to be.

    2. Yeah, I really like ‘Tears for Fears’. My fav has to be ‘Pharaohs’ with its use of the shipping forecast and the riff from ‘everybody wants to rule the world’ at the end. .youtube.com/watch?v=FDUk11Z0bkQ

  5. I saw Tears for Fears live at The Phillipshalle, Dusseldorf, 1985… (the girl I liked was a fan), but I did always like this song.

    “Shout” was one of their other big hits that I liked

  6. I’ve long been of the opinion the the Beatles are closer to Gilbert & Sullivan than rock and roll.

    1. The Beatles had a lot of influences. They started out playing Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly and Little Richard songs but they were also influenced by everything from Motown to show tunes (Ringo may have been one of the first rock singers to record an album of standards: “Sentimental Journey” in 1970) to raga to country & western (George cited Chet Atkins as a big influence on his guitar playing). Whatever caught their ear went into the mix.

  7. I guess it’s possible for some to think that by the 80s music was going off a little but I think it was still doing pretty good for another 10 years or so. The earlier years had been so explosive, particularly early 70s it was amazing. The Beatles started the British invasion but it never stopped.

    Many groups from those earlier years were still doing very well in the 80s and putting out more stuff. I believe the Scorpions, Still Loving You was 1984. Maybe my favorite, Dire Straits was doing quite well.

  8. “People decry the popular music of the 1980s”

    They do? News to me, but then I was a teenager in the 80s 😉

  10. I have a dozen or so “go-to” albums I put on when I need to focus on my work, and TFF’s greatest hits album Tears Roll Down is among them. That group is among my favorites in a genre of New Wave music I have dubbed British Sissy Pop: songs by sensitive young men who are world-weary and romantic. I think it’s great stuff.

    Who knows why we like what we like? I can’t think of a single genre of music that doesn’t have at least a couple of groups or a few songs that I really like. back in the 80’s I heard the music director of a college radio station talking about the diverse programming he was trying to develop, and he said something like “even Calypso music has something to say.” Whaddya mean “even” Calypso?! My gosh, I was appalled at how one could simultaneously be so snobbish and uninformed at the same time. All music isn’t “good,” whatever that even means, but any music can be “good,” in my experience.

    My college roommate was convinced I was just trying to “look cool” by being “eclectic,” as he could not believe anyone could listen to punk and psychedelic and jazz and classical music. One can never rule out the effect of wanting to think of oneself as a certain kind of person, I gave him that, but I like what I like.

    1. Yes, I think I went through “tribalist” musical phases in my younger years, when I believed that if I liked Genre/Period X I therefore had to hate Genre/Period Y. Nowadays, in my comfortable middle age I can accept that there’s good and bad music made in every era. I was a 20-something in the 1980s so I still have a lot of affection for that period, including a lot of the cheesy manufactured pop as well as the more serious stuff. I always liked Tears for Fears and “Songs from the Big Chair” is a mid-80s classic for me.

      1. I confess there was a time I bought into “disco sucks,” which, for anyone in their teens and twenties at that time, was understandable. But that just set me up to rediscover it a few years ago and, man, some of that stuff was much better than I thought at the time. Oh, these kids today, with their Bee Gees this, and their Donna Summer that!

          2. With age I have learnt to appreciate musicality & well-written songs, but may not enjoy the style or type of music. There is usually something worth listening out for, in live performances anyway.

    2. “British Sissy Pop: songs by sensitive young men who are world-weary and romantic.

      Nice description. Careless Whisper by George Michael was the first song that popped into my mind when I read that. I still like that song.

      2. (Oops) I think the “sissy” part came to me listening to the song “Release” on High Land, Hard Rain, specifically this lyric:

        The loch is overflowing, the sun has shed its light
        And all that’s left to warm your breast’s the wine we stole tonight
        Bottle merchants, both of us, overdosed on Keats
        We smashed them all and watched them fall like magic in the streets

        … which really captures the essence of the young aesthete, making the girls swoon with his fussy hair and pouty face, poetry and wine in the park. I make fun of it, but I also think it’s lovely – and it’s never experienced again the way it is when we are young (before we find out what it really means to be world-weary)!

    4. The Smiths, the Smiths, the Smiths!

      I expect your Sissy Pop was the precursor to Emo music, whatever that is.

  11. As a member of the group which got best single of 1985, I disagree with both our award and Tears for Fears. Imho, it should have been The Pet Shop Boys for both years – ‘West End Girls’ , released in ’85, big hit in ’86. Sorry, Tears for Fears passed me by. x

      1. Jerry, it was Yeah Yeah Noh, ‘Another Side to Mrs. Quill’, (titled ‘Homeownersexual’ on the album, I think). Mojo named it top English pop song of 1985, sandwiched between Elvis C (1984) and the PSBs in 1986. Never heard of YYN? Not surprised. It wasn’t a hit. We were completely bamboozled when we heard of Mojo’s choice. I wasn’t in the group, then. We’ve just re-recorded and mixed an industrial version for the new album. I won’t link – da roolz. x

          1. Thank you, darrelle. I don’t want to break the roolz. Use the interweb, you know what to do, but frankly, it ain’t very good. Dreadful production; that’s why we re-recorded it. x

      2. I really like Heart. Prior to “These Dreams.” For some reason I’ve never liked that song.

        Mistral Wind
        Tell It Like It Is
        Barracuda
        Dreamboat Annie
        Sweet Darlin

        That era of Heart is some of my favorite music.

        They were one of the best live shows I’ve heard also, sound wise. Many bands sound awful live, a shame because I love live music, but Heart sounded very good.

  12. Count me as one of the decriers. I spent the entirity of the ’80s listening to Traffic and wishing that Peter Gabriel and Steve Hackett had stayed with Genesis.

    In the ’90s I finally discovered the Blues and never looked back.

  13. I haven’t thought about this song or group in ages! Love the enormous orchestra and choir backing the group. Excellent choice for today!

  16. Certainly mainstream rock was pretty dire in the 80s compared to the 60s and 70s, especially in the US (Journey, Motley Crue, Bon Jovi – the horror), and in that sense Nirvana in the early 90s really were a return to form for US rock.

    However, there were shedloads of good alternative rock and rock/pop bands in the 80s, mostly on indie labels, and indeed I rate the Pixies’ Doolittle (1989) as the best US album ever. At the time I didn’t really see why everyone got so excited about Nirvana, as I was already listening to Pixies, Dinosaur Jr etc.

    Plus IMHO 80s pop trash was vastly better than 70s pop trash, and at least as good as 60s pop trash. At least until Stock/Aitken/Waterman dragged pop into the gutter from which it has still yet to re-emerge.

    1. Journey? Love Journey. Another group that sounded fantastic live. Though they were certainly big in the ’80s they formed in 1973!

  17. Any Decade that contains

    “Smalltown Boy”

    And

    “Life in a Northern Town”

    And

    The Pet shop Boys

    can’t be all bad

    1. I really liked ‘Life inna* Northern Town’ on first hearing, but it was played to death in ’86 and I don’t like to revisit.

      *(See Hitchens for ‘inna’ anecdote)

      1. Ah Diana. Thought I might find you here.

        Completely OT but with a vague musical connection – I’m watching ‘Antiques Roadshow’ and one of the exhibits was a yellowing toilet roll mounted on a piece of ‘wall’ with a typed notice under it. My thoughts naturally flew immediately to you.
        Anyway, the provenance was that the Beatles, while at Abbey Road, had rejected this toilet roll because it was of hard thin shiny paper with ‘EMI Ltd’ printed on each leaf. It was sold at the Abbey Road closing down sale for 85 pounds (!). That’s real fame when a toilet roll you reject becomes a collectable item.

        Oh, I have to say – Over. Sorry ’bout that.

    2. Confession: I still listen to Iron Maiden and Motorhead sometimes.
      (And Eazy-E, for that matter, if we’re talking 80s music other than pop.)

  19. One of my favorite US bands, REM, developed during the 1980s; their debut album, Murmur, is fantastic. A couple of Australian bands I like – INXS and Not Drowning, Waving – became well-known in the 80s (listen to Fishing Trawler or Willow Tree on YouTube, if you’re not familiar with the second band). The Cure, the Talking Heads, and XTC all had brilliant albums in the 1980s. U2 didn’t suck in the 80s.

    And if you’re a prog rock fan, Pink Floyd, Peter Gabriel, and King Crimson produced excellent albums in the 1980s. I still listen to Momentary Lapse of Reason, Melt, Security, So, Discipline, Three of a Perfect Pair, etc. frequently, in my aging progrockmobile.

    1. Yes to Pink Floyd! I’m still discovering their music, with the help of Youtube (which is a revolution for casual music aficionados).

      Dark Side of the Moon came out in ’73, and The Wall in November ’79. So the 70s and 80s weren’t complete wastelands.

  20. This song marks a turning point in my life.

    I started off my working life working 65 hours per week making someone else rich.

    I decided to branch out on my own and bought a premises which I renovated in my spare time. I always played the radio long into the might and this was one of my favourite songs. It brings back a lot of fond memories.

    It’s hard to believe that was nearly 30 years ago.

    I didn’t make myself rich, which was not my purpose in any case, but I was able to reduce my working hours to 45 per week, and with a much better income and excellent working conditions.

    I didn’t want to rule the world, but I was happy to at least have no one rule me.

  21. I really like ‘Tears for Fears’. ‘Head Over Heels’ is good and my fav has to be ‘Pharaohs’ with its use of the shipping forecast and the riff from ‘everybody wants to rule the world’ at the end. .youtube.com/watch?v=FDUk11Z0bkQ
