A bonus track released in the 1990 reissue of Phranc’s 1985 album Folksinger, the song is obviously about The Go-Go’s, a highly-successful all-female rock band that was pretty much everywhere.

Everyone's wearing Bermuda plaid
Everyone's topsider clad
Everyone wears polo shirts
'Cause being a preppie is the fad
Everywhere I go I hear the Go-Go's
Everywhere I go I hear them sing
Everywhere I go I hear the Go-Go's
People in sports cars doin' there thing
They do the Cool Jerk over in Westwood
They do it down in Newport Beach
They listen to the Go-Go's in Miami
They're the height of popularity
Jane can't go out even to buy Drano
That's the price one pays for fame
Some people can't believe that they made it
But they practiced every day
Everyone wants to be like Belinda
Every girl wants to look like her
'Cause she's the picture of feminity
No one wants to look like me
Everywhere I go I hear the Go-Go's
Everywhere I hear them sing
Everywhere I go I hear the Go-Go's
In my ears their voices ring
They listen to the Go-Go's in Puerto Rico
And over there in Israel, too
And through the sound of dropping bombs
They're dancing to them in Lebanon
Everyone wants to be like Gina
Everyone wants to bang the drum
Everyone wants to be like Gina
'Cause it looks like she has so much fun
Everyone knows that I like Charlotte
She's my very favorite one
Sometimes I wish I had bangs like Charlotte
But guess I'd look pretty dumb
Everywhere I go I hear the Go-Go's
Everywhere I go I hear them sing
Everywhere I go I hear the Go-Go's
