"Everything Zen" is the debut single by British alternative rock band Bush, released on 28 January 1995. The single comes from their 1994 debut album, Sixteen Stone.

Lyrics

The lyrics "Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow" are taken from David Bowie's 1971 song "Life on Mars?".

Music video

The video was the first video Bush had ever made. The video was directed by Matt Mahurin, who also makes an appearance in the video wearing a mask, and was shot on 12 and 13 November 1994. Scenes from the video were recreated in the opening credits of the TV series Millennium.

Gavin Rossdale on the making of the video:

"I hadn't even seen that many videos before making this because I never had MTV. I just remember that it felt weird miming with all those people standing around, but you soon get over that. Obviously, this video was hugely important in breaking us in America."^[1]

Parody

The song was parodied on Bill Nye the Science Guy in the episode "Animal Locomotion".

Commercial performance

Although it did not achieve immediate success, it eventually reached number two on the Billboard Modern Rock Chart, number 5 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks and Canadian Rock/Alternative chart and number 40 on the Hot 100 Airplay since it failed to hit the Hot 100 that year.
