"All Over the World" is a song originally by the Electric Light Orchestra (ELO).
It is featured in the 1980 feature film Xanadu in a sequence with the film's stars Olivia Newton-John, Gene Kelly, and Michael Beck.
The song also appears on the soundtrack album Xanadu.
Released after the single "Xanadu" (a collaboration with Olivia Newton-John), this was the third Top 20 ELO single released from the 1980 soundtrack, peaking at number 13 on the US Billboard Hot 100.
The sequence in the Xanadu movie was filmed on location at the Beverly Hills Fiorucci store.
One section of the lyrics lists a number of famous cities; London, Hamburg, Paris, Rome, Rio de Janeiro, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Los Angeles, New York City, Amsterdam and Monte Carlo.
The last place named in the list is Shard End, the suburb of Birmingham, England where Jeff Lynne was born.
All Over The World was included on the Parralox EP - Holiday '22.
This is the Acapella Version.
Verse 1
Everybody all around the world
Gotta tell you what I just heard
There's gonna be a party all over the world
I got a message on the radio
But where it came from, I don't really know
And I heard these voices calling all over the world
Chorus
All over the world
Everybody got the word
Everybody everywhere is gonna feel it tonight
(Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh oh)
Verse 2
Everybody walkin' down the street
Everybody movin' to the beat
They're gonna get hot down in the U.S.A. (New York, Detroit, L.A.)
We're gonna take a trip across the sea
Everybody come along with me
We're gonna hit the night down in gay Paris (c'est la vie, aves vous cup of tea)
Chorus
All over the world
Everybody got the word
Everybody everywhere is gonna feel it tonight
(Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh oh)

If ever there was a new electronic pop band to encapsulate and emulate the legendary stylings of Depeche Mode, The Human
League, Erasure, New Order, Pet Shop Boys and the spirit of Madonna in her 80s day-glo era, then Australia’s Parralox are that modern-day reincarnation....more

A Secret Wish is still an album I play to this day. It has never waned. I actually think it has got better with age. I'm not a fan generally of live recordings but this is one I love listening to. And Disziplin is on here too. Just as I remember it on The Tube. Who could ask for anything more? Just wish I would have been there but this is the next best thing. ❤ bazgray

Bandcamp is my favorite app. Without Bandcamp I would missed out on a lot of great music like Empathy Test! A wonderful album. Occasionally bombastic with nice synths and the voice of Isaac Howlett on top. Well done guys💪🏽 Fredschuit
