457 - Everybody Wants To Rule The World - The CoverUp

A bizarrely polarizing song that fittingly took over the world, and a cover with an of-its-time point of view. Everybody Wants To Rule The World, originally by Tears For Fears, covered by Moreland and Arbuckle.

Outro music is Sunday Bloody Sunday by U2, so that you have a chance to check your notes.
