"The Whole World and You" is a song by Andrew Horowitz.
The music video for The Whole World And You debuted in the 8th episode of Tally Hall's Internet Show
History
"The Whole World and You" was written in under an hour[1] for Andrew's toy instrumental themed band Toy Orchestra, before being used as a Tally Hall song.[2][3]
Song Interpretations
Some fans have interpreted the lyrics to be sarcastic, such as One Week // One Band who says that the lyrics "tell a tale of sarcastic selflessness"[4] However, in an interview with Suzanne Chessler, Andrew stated "Some of our songs allow lots of room for interpretation, but my song 'The Whole World And You' is just a fun number with no deeper purpose."[5]
Music Video
The music video for "The Whole World and You" was made by Frankenstudio, a production company run by Ken Berman and Frankie Cordero, and it was made using multiple wooden-looking puppets[6]. It focuses on a electoral candidate and their election campaign, which sadly ends in a assassination attempt.[7]
The video was used in Tally Hall's Internet Show, and was later shown at Brooklyn Academy of Music's Live Action Puppets Shorts Program B in 2011.[7]
Trivia
- The word "sotries" was originally intended to be "stories" but there was a typo when the lyrics were printed out. Andrew decided to keep the typo and sing it as written.[8]
- In 2021 Needlejuice Records reissued Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum; as part of the quality control phase the word was auto-corrected back to "Stories" on the CD and vinyl lyric sheets. The error was fixed in the 2022 reprint.
- There is a short rendition of the song done in an alternative punk style present on the Admittedly Incomplete Demos album, as well as appearing twice in live performances.
Lyrics
There's lots of pretty people here Sharing sotries and passing letters and There's lots of questions answered And metaphysical astronomical songs Words printed all on papers that Seem too mystical it's so magical People that dance and compute that No one's better than you (La-la-la) (La-la-la) (La-la-la) (La-la-la) There's kings in distant cities Who rule their persons and make them happy and We won't forget about all the servisory congratulatory Even the animals know that Something's brewing and they're all cooing 'Cause in the end I'd like to say No one's better than you I hope you're happy now that I've revealed the truth I've even written this whole song about you And not about me And not about me Please don't just laugh and clap right now This is serious I'm not delirious I've waited very patiently just to let you know Who should run this show 'Cause we all know these are the facts Nothing to retract nothing too abstract Concluding in this song I'll say No one's better than you No one's better than you No one's better than you
