Tears For Fears – Everybody Wants To Run The World (UK 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1986

“Everybody Wants to Run the World” is a re-recording of the song “Everybody Wants to Rule the World”, originally written by Roland Orzabal, Ian Stanley and Chris Hughes of the British band Tears for Fears and featured on the band’s 1985 second LP Songs from the Big Chair.

The re-jigged single was released in 1986 to promote the Sport Aid campaign, a charitable event held to raise money for famine relief in Africa. It was a success in the UK Singles Chart, becoming the band’s sixth top 5 hit, peaking at #5 in June 1986. The song also reached #4 in Ireland.

“…to get Bob Geldof off our backs! He gave us so much gip for not turning up at Live Aid. All those millions of people dying, it was our fault. I felt terrible. I tell you, I know how Hitler must have felt.”
—Roland Orzabal, on why the song was re-recorded

The new song was meant to be included on the 2006 remaster of Songs from the Big Chair, but was mistakenly replaced by a repetition of the album version (incorrectly labeled as the ‘7″ version’ (such a version does not exist)); the album’s liner notes confirm this.
