Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

One of the most surreal singles in memory, "Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen)" has an even stranger story than you'd imagine: in 1998, a student lifted the text of an article columnist Mary Schmich had written for the Chicago Tribune and started sending it around the world, crediting it as a commencement speech given at MIT by Kurt Vonnegut. 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

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Album From A Modern Master, February 28, 2003
By "liquidink" (St. Louis, Missouri) - See all my reviews
If you've ever had the good fortune to see STRICLY BALLROOM, ROMEO + JULIET or MOULIN ROUGE, then you've been exposed to the pure visual and musical genius that is Baz Luhrmann. This pre-MOULIN ROUGE album covers a wonderfully wide range of music - mainly original and remixed music from Luhrmann's first two films, two of his theatrical productions for the Australian Opera (LA BOHEME & MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM), his production of HAIRCUT for the Sydney Theatre Company, and music from LAKE LOST.

Fans of STRICTLY BALLROOM will again recognize the original versions of Doris Day's classic "Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps" and Stanley Black's "Os Quindos De Ya Ya" as well as remixed versions of "Happy Feet," "Love Is In The Air" and Tara Morice's "Time After Time." ROMEO + JULIET lovers can hear fantastic remixed versions of "Young Hearts Run Free," "Everybody's Free," "When Doves Cry," and "Angel."

The real treat for Baz Luhrmann fans, however, are the tracks from and inspired by his works for The Sydney Theatre Company and the Australian Opera. They range from the purely operatic "Che Gelida Manina" from LA BOHEME (which has since been brought to Broadway) to the fantastically funky electronic "Aquarius/Let The Sunshine In" from HAIRCUT.

If you've ever seen and loved a Luhrmann film, you shouldn't be disappointed by this fantastic album. It celebrates the works you know and love and introduces you to this modern master's other, equally wonderful works.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everyone's Free to Wear Sunscreen, December 4, 1999
The song was unbelievable. I got chills down my spin cause I had no idea a song can dictate my life and mistakes so well. Its a great masterpiece and its something you can listen to over and over again. And when your down or need advice, its a perfect companian.

4.0 out of 5 stars This CD is more than just bedroom music!, January 14, 2000
By Paul W. Sager (Saint Louis, Missouri) - See all my reviews
I will admit it that I, too, bought this CD for the Sunscreen song. I mean, c'mon, who had really heard of this artist? But after listening to this CD once, I was hooked. The pomp and circumstance this CD reveals is right up there with any classic dance album. Check out different versions of The Cardigan's "Lovefool" and Prince's "When Doves Cry," and Cyndi Lauper's "Time After Time." They give the original songs a run for their money. And the mixture of original tracks infused with remixes is wonderful. One listen to Doris Day's "Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps," and you will find the meaning of rejected love! The songs mostly come from the films that Buz directed, Strictly Ballroom and Romeo + Juliet. And if you haven't seen Ballroom, you are missing out! This CD is more than the sunscreen song, so take a gamble, you will be amazed the purchase will redeem itself in your CD carosel!
