Rappers React To Tears For Fears "Everybody Wants To Rule The World"!!!

[@buckstraw925]

An anthem from the time period. Never gets old.

[@ellesee7079]

Yes they're from England. In the 80's the bands came to the US to shoot videos for 2 reasons - It looks cool, and it's not raining! 😂

[@rad_lad_2715]

"Its not raining" Evidently, they have never heard of the Pacific northwest

One of my favourite songs of the 80's. The best era to be a teenager in my opinion 😊

[@kristaspecht]

I was around 10 I think when these came out maybe younger but man I miss the 80s!

[@RockinMamaT]

Yes the eighties was the best being a teenager❤

being a child in the 80s was the best as well

[@barbarastrayhorn4667]

One of my favorite songs.

[@Trumps_Idiocracy_2024]

Everyone says that about the decade they grew up in.

[@selfrealeyes]

"Head over Heals," "Shout," "Sewing the Seeds of Love," "Mad World,"... & yeah I'm pretty sure I wore out my copy of Songs from the big chair cassette tape.😂

[@GrimrDirge]

Bath is named after the ruins of ancient Roman baths, which were built over hotsprings. A very appropriate name for a location.

[@classicaustralianmusicandf7425]

The name Tears for Fears was inspired by primal therapy, developed by the American psychologist Arthur Janov, which gained tremendous publicity after John Lennon became Janov's patient in 1970.

[@ShanLH5]

I love them!! Sowing the Seeds of Love and Head Over Heels are two of my favorite songs ever 😊 Other good ones: Everybody Loves a Happy Ending, Secret World, Pale Shelter, Mad World, The Tipping Point, Elemental (technically just one of them, recorded during a time when they’d split up)

[@DefinitelyNotBender]

My favorite by them is Break it Down Again. Sowing the Seeds of Love is a close second. And of course I prefer their Mad World to Gary Jewels version. I actually finally left my first request on Patreon for Break it Down Again. I hope they get to it soon.

[@ShanLH5]

@@DefinitelyNotBenderyesss they have so many good songs!! I’m glad you requested another one 😊

[@DefinitelyNotBender]

@@ShanLH5 I'm going to have to listen to Head Over Heels now. I haven't heard that in so long. I actually listen to Break it Down Again frequently but need to get more of their songs in my weekly song schedule😅 I now understand why the older people in my life listened to the same songs repeatedly. Nostalgia is a strong drug!

[@rogerdaly6326]

One of the most iconic songs of the 80's. Saw them live two times on their most recent tour and they still sound great.

[@mattiefee]

Head over Heels, Sowing the Seeds of Love, Shout. Their production and vocal arrangements are top notch.

[@rubaidaallen2764]

One of the best songs EVER 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@angelataylor2049]

My favourite band growing up in my teens here in England, we had so many great bands especially in the 80’s. Bath is named so because there is the remains of Roman baths from when the Romans invaded England 🙂

[@bugvswindshield]

Budgie! from the 80's Best damn rock band people in the states never heard of.

[@ianneale9353]

Brilliant Band.

[@MattKrogmeier]

Saw these guys last summer - and honest to God, one of the best concerts I've ever seen! They released a new album in 2022 called "The Tipping Point" and it's fantastic. The track "My Demons" absolutely slaps!

[@EM-cz4rd]

Saw them in LA about 6 years ago. Still sounded SOOOOO good. They really stole the show that night. It was the KROQ Almost Acoustic Christmas thing.

[@sonofthesea3298]

Roland Orzabal (Guitar and backing vocals on this song/he does lead vocals on other songs)& Curt Smith (short ponytail and lead vocals on this song) performs theyr songs live still today (plus has released an album as recent as 2022),and they still deliever on both shredding guitar riffs and unique vocals. They founded theyr band in 1981. It once actually also featured the members Ian Stanley and Manny Elias,but later on many basically viewed upon them as a "duo",although they always have a full live band with them in concerts. I believe they said once that theyr own inspiration for theyr music was global,they got inspired by too much to mention. Thats why they dont sound so "Brit Pop"-ish as many UK bands usually sound like. They usually got theyr very unique sound. Hollywood,are you thinking of Beyonces song Run The World? (Only she sings Who Run The World? Girls!) I can not remember any song that sounded like the one you were singing,so im thinking you have 2 songs mixed up in 1. 😁

[@michaelbiggs7861]

Tears For Fears are a duo from Bath, England. They are Curt Smith Vocals and Bass, and Roland Orzabal Vocals and Guitar. Curt sings lead on this song, but Roland sings lead too, on some songs they both sing lead, their vocals blend really well together. The duo split up in the early 90's after 3 massively successful albums. Curt moved from England to the States where he started writing and performing songs with Charlton Petus. In 2004 Curt and Roland got back together after 10 years apart to record their 4th album, the aptly titled Everybody Loves A Happy Ending. Although they have stayed as a duo, they perform as a 6 piece, the other 4 members are from the US, so you could say they are now a US band. In 2022 they released their 5th album called The Tipping Point, the title track is about the death of Roland's wife in 2017. In my opinion, Tears For Fears are the best band to come out of England since the Beatles.

[@ajruther67]

Tears for Fears are a British pop rock band formed in Bath in 1981 by Curt Smith and Roland Orzabal. Founded after the dissolution of their first band, the mod-influenced Graduate, Tears for Fears were associated with the new wave synthesizer bands of the 1980s, and attained international chart success as part of the Second British Invasion.

[@atdeacon]

one of my favorite guitar songs!

[@titools4375]

I'm a Metal Head but I'm an 80's person since I was born in the mid 70's so I lived the 80's plenty (music wise) and I can tell you, TFF is one of the best 80's pop band, also one of my favorites and I'm so glad you're reacting to this genre. Another great song that I strongly suggest you should react to, is: "It's My Life" by TALK TAK, another great band, guys please do, I'll appreciate it more than you know!!! (and all of the 80's lovers too)

[@niles8102]

Also a metalhead but damn, did the 80's have some bangers! New wave music is still a personal favorite genre :)

It was the outro to the great 80s flick 'Real Genius' which was an early Val Kilmer mocie. In college, we watched it the Sunday night before every finals week, just to get int he right frame of mind!

[@Maizy1985]

Dig deeper into this band, apart from many great songs Sowing the seeds of Love is very Beatlesque...amazingly done in the style of Sgt Peppers.

[@deborahcurry1014]

One of my favorite bands. Tears for Fears were huge when I was going to the clubs in the 80s. (Im 62) They were on tour recently. I live in Maine and we have a town called Bath. There is a huge naval ship building facility there. Bath Iron Works. Much love from Maine... keep doin what ya do ❤

[@zeigbert1743]

Their song Mad World was covered by Gary Jules. There's a video. Worth checking out, always hits me in the feels.

[@leogothisoscar271]

Their song Head Over Heels needs to be next

[@mattjohn4731]

With the instrumental coda included!!

[@sammyinbrooklyn]

In the late 80s I was waitressing my way through college. I worked in Manhattan and this song was on constant rotation. I can smell this mouse infested restaurant just listening to this and Whitney Houston’s I Want To Dance With Somebody. It was a TGI Fridays.

[@hiramtyler5212]

As a 80s kid.... I'm gonna be listening to this to my old age 😎

[@sterling8298]

Me and my sister totally jammed to this song back in the day.😊 I would say this is an iconic 80s song. It's been featured in a bunch of movies as well as TV shows and commercials over the years.😊

One of my Fav 80's bands. Their music was all over Donny Darko...one of my Fav movies.

They had some great songs and videos back in the day. I was a metalhead though. But always enjoyed their stuff coming on MTV every 30 minutes.

[@tomogden1221]

My 4 year old son loves this song, hes sat behind me singing as i watch hahaha

I can tell I grew up with MTV because these videos are definitely nostalgic. love it when you get into stuff that I listened to or watched when I was under 10 ;)

[@kristaspecht]

Same here! I was 10 or younger.. nostalgia for sure!

[@JanKowalski-rd7yb]

One of my most favorite bands, literally sice I was a child, because back in 80s I was just a kid. I was always listening to their song, whenever they were aired on radio, even though back then I was too young to learn foreign languages (I'm polish), so I couldn't initially understand the lyrics, but I was all over their music. To date Orzabal's voice is one of the most unique male vocals I know, but Smith, even though mostly being a backing vocal was never really behind Roland. And that's something really uncommon, since normally there's always that one guy in a band, who's clearly identified as the "leading singer", but in case of TFF, they could both easily switch in that role, and it would still end up with song being a hit. It's a commonly known fact, that Oleta Adams rose in prominence after collaboration with TFF, so props for these guys for early recognizing such a great voice, as hers. Personally, "Woman In Chains", where she sings is one of my favorite TFF songs (and the whole "Seeds Of Love" album is a masterpiece). I'd recommend listening to live version of this song. Interestingly, while "Everybody Wants To Rule The World", "Mad World", and "Shout" became one of the most recognizable TFF songs all over the world, in Poland where I'm from, it was exactly "Woman In Chains" that became their major hit, and it even occupied highest positions of music rankings for some time. It's also one of these timeless songs, which were covered countless times across the years. Also, is anybody listening to Nine Inch Nails too? OK, so have you listened to Tears For Fears song "Prisoner" (from "The Hurting" album, 1983)? No? Well, then listen to it, and then try to tell me with a straight face, that you can't hear some influence on Nine Inch Nails music (the band was founded in 1988, just to clarify). It may be a coincidence, but if I didn't know any better, I could swear "Prisoner" is one of NIN songs...

[@purplebongo27]

I ued to drive alot up North (England) ....always had to have this track playing as I crossed the border backninto Wales....epic driving track! We were Art students...I think they came from similar roots? English band, Woman in chains....beautiful song. Love & light from South Wales UK 💜🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🌻🤟

[@mattlatakas7051]

One of my top 5 favorite songs from the 80's.

[@michaelbriefs9764]

I am a huge fan of TFF! I remember the summer of ‘85, when this song and the album it came from were released. I was 21 going on 22 and that was one of the best summers of my life! I was already a fan of some of the singles they released from their 1st album (“The Hurting”), as we used to dance to Mad World, Change, and Pale Shelter at our favorite clubs. But when SFTBC came out, they were the instant kings of 1985! INXS was also an important band for me that year but TFF were my favs. I was such a New Waver! But, I do want to tell you guys that TFF are more than just a singles band! They have songs that are straight up Progressive and even get into Prog Rock to a certain extent! Please listen to “Year of the Knife” for some of their more epic tunes! Excellent band and one that certainly Carrie’s on the flag that The Beatles handed off, from 1970 onwards!

[@CurtisDurden]

Here's another song by Tears for Fears, if interested. "Tears For Fears - Mad World (Official Music Video)" (channel: Tears For Fears) --This hauntingly beautiful song is from their debut studio album called "The Hurting" released in 1983. Written by Roland Orizabal and by bassist Curt Smith. This song reached number #3 on the UK singles chart. It was the bands third single release and first chart hit and the B-side was the song "Ideas as Opiates" which was also hugely successful. I really enjoyed rocking with you fellas. Thanks for sharing. peace out~

This may be the their most popular but for me personally, it's a great song but not indicative of how great this band actually were.
