Scary Pockets Feat. Cory Henry [2021] - Everybody Wants to Rule the World [Pockets, Inc]

Are you ready for a "Tears For Fears" cover? It may come as a surprise to you (as it did me) that their 1985 song "Shout" was a #1 hit in the US (it got to #4 in UK in 1984 and spent 20 weeks on the chart) and reached #56 on the R&B chart.

"Everybody Wants To Rule The World" was their biggest of seven UK Top 10 hits reaching #2 in 1985 and was the follow-up to "Shout".

Scary Pockets have just released it on 21 Jun 2021 featuring former (4 Grammy award winning) Snark Puppy member Cory Henry (the singer/keys in the video). 

The core of Scary Pockets is Jack Conte (one half of of Pomplamoose and co-founder of Patreon)  and Ryan Lerman. Apparently every week they invite guests and release a video of a cover version on their YT channel. I have noticed them before but nothing thus far appealed to me, however, this one got my attention.

Putting 'soul snobbery' to one side, this is a great cover.
