The Korgis – Everybody’s Got To Learn Sometime
Under the “One-Hit Wonder” category, The Korgis had a Top 20 hit in 1980 of of the ‘Dumb Waiters’ album.
“Everybody’s Got To Learn Sometime” was an ethereal synth based song that lead singer and writer, James Warren says:
“At that time I was into new wave philosophies about working on yourself, meditation and that sort of stuff. The whole lyric comes out of that. It wasn’t a romantic song at all. For me it was all about an individual changing and being a different sort of person – trying to find out the root of your inner confusion, dealing with it and becoming a better person. So it was literally a philosophical lyric.”
The song made it to the U.S. Hot 100, peaking at #18!
