Film director Baz Luhrmann (who had taken a big part in designing the soundscapes of his films Strictly Ballroom and William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet) got his hands on it just as he was working on a remix of Rozalla's 1992 dance hit \"Everybody's Free (To Feel Good).\" Within a day, Luhrmann had hired a local actor to read the text, and a single was born. It's a wonderfully surreal pop-cultural moment on an album that strives for such things. Luhrmann's modus operandi involves the remixing and customizing of tracks until they have a fabulous sheen, and it owes a lot to the equally media-attuned Malcolm McLaren (and especially to McLaren's 1989 album Waltz Darling). Though he throws in a handful of time-tested songs (Doris Day's \"Perhaps Perhaps Perhaps,\" La Bohème's \"Che Gelide Manina\"), Something for Everybody is very much of a specific moment--and though the moment may pass, fans will enjoy revisiting it time and again. --Randy Silver\n\nProduct Description\n\nExcellent Condition\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B00000634X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: GGV.B00000634X.LN\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Like New\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Various Artists\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Audio cd\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Recycle4","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49691101233450,"sku":"GGV.B00000634X.LN","price":10.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0773\/0819\/9210\/files\/skuimage_5b6b9d4d-ab02-4439-9a2c-96364353b623.jpg?v=1733870208","url":"https:\/\/recycle4.com\/products\/something-for-everybody-baz-luhrmann","provider":"Recycle4","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
