Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen) – Baz Luhrmann (1999)
HIGHEST CHART POSITION: 1


That's right, this 1999, chart-topping hit was indeed made by filmic-maestro Baz 'Moulin Rouge' Luhrmann! Luhrmann's surprise CV-side note is widely mistaken for a 1997 Kurt Vonnegut commencement speech at a US college. In fact the lyrics were taken from a column published in The Chicago Tribune in 1997. The song even had a special seal of approval from the Bishop of Liverpool who said at the time that he believed 'Everybody's Free' carried an important moral message.
