Everybody is a star - Fishbone feat. Gwen Stefani

Everybody is a star
Who can rain and chase the dust away
Everybody wants to shine
We'll come out on a cloudy day
'Tis the sun that loves you round
When the system tries to bring you down
Ever had a shiny night?
You don't need darkness to do what you think is right
Ba pa-pa-pa ba pa-pa ba ba ba pa-pa ba pa-pa ba pa-pa ba ba ba,
ba-pa ba-pa ba ba, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh x 2
Everybody is a star
I can feel it when you shine on me
I love you for who you are
Not the one you feel you need to be
Ever catch a falling star
Ain't no stopping 'til it's in the ground... in the ground
Everybody is a star
One big circle goin' round and round
Ba pa-pa-pa ba pa-pa ba ba ba pa-pa ba pa-pa ba pa-pa ba ba ba,
ba-pa ba-pa ba ba, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ba pa-pa-pa ba pa-pa ba ba ba pa-pa ba pa-pa ba pa-pa ba ba ba,
ba-pa ba-pa ba ba, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ba pa-pa-pa ba pa-pa ba ba ba pa-pa ba pa-pa ba pa-pa ba ba ba,
ba-pa ba-pa ba ba, shine, shine, shine, shine
then all the crazy shit... yeah.

In addition to Gwen Stefani, George Clinton and is also featured. I have felt for some time that this is simply one of the finest recordings ever made, surpassing even the original.

I could, however, do without the slide show. You like Gwen. I get it.

More likely it's because when No Doubt weren't even a band, they were Fishbone fans and this has been stated by Gwen and other No Doubt members. Sublime, No Doubt and a long list of forgotten bands like Caustic Monkey were all local LA groups heavily inspired by Da Bone.

Later on as groups like No Doubt and Sublime gained larger followings, they performed alongside Fishbone and to this day, Gwen has stated many times that her onstage persona was patterned after Angelo's.

Too bad Sly slurs his lines! ;-)

GWen Stefani adds magic with the already good song, so it sounds better. Love this better than the original. Hail Fishbone and Gwen Stefani!!
