About this song
- "Everything Zen" is a single by British rock band Bush. The song was released to radio in autumn 1994 before being physically released on 17 April 1995. The single comes from their 1994 debut album, Sixteen Stone. It was the band's first single released under the name "Bush", and their second overall. The title of the song may reference the poem Howl by Allen Ginsberg which includes the phrase "who vanished into nowhere Zen New Jersey." The lyrics "Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow" are taken from David Bowie's 1971 song "Life on Mars?". Other references in the song include Tom Waits ("Rain Dogs howl for the century"), Jane's Addiction's "Ted, Just Admit It..." ("there's no sex in your violence"), Alice in Chains' "Would?" ("try to see it once my way"), and the Elvis Presley sighting conspiracy theory ("I don't believe that Elvis is dead"). The song's opening guitar riff has been compared to that of Neil Young's "Rockin' in the Free World" (1989). .
