Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
All over the world, everybody got the word
Everybody everywhere is gonna feel tonight
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
All over the world
Everybody got the word
Everybody everywhere is gonna feel tonight
All over the world
London, Hamburg, Paris, Rome, Rio, Hong Kong, Tokyo
L.a., New York, Amsterdam, Monte Carlo, Shard End and
All over the world
Everybody got the word
Everybody everywhere is gonna feel tonight
Everybody all around the world,
Gotta tell you what I just heard
Everybody walkin' down the street,
I know a place where we all can meet

All over the world, everybody got the word

I like the fashion sense of Xanadu, the music, the energy and determination🤗

The late 70s/early 80s were an amazing time in LA, partially due to the punk rock energy. Check out the Go-Go's documentary. It was a great time to be alive! xoxo
