Students from the Detroit School of Arts Vocal Jazz Ensemble perform David Byrne's "Everybody's Coming To My House," from his new album, American Utopia. "This interpretation of 'Everybody's Coming To My House' is transformative," says Byrne. "To my eyes and ears it completely changes the meaning, heart and soul of the song. It is more welcoming and becomes more about inclusion and joy. We ARE all in the same house—if we want to be. I'm jealous, in some ways it's better than my own version."
