Love is All

  • Track

[Verse 1]

Everybody's got to live together

All the people got to understand

So, love your neighbour like you love your brother

Come on and join the band

[Verse 2]

And all you need is love and understanding

Ring the bell and let the people know

We're so happy and we're celebratin'

Come on and let your feelings show

[Chorus]

Love is all, love is all,

Love is all, can't you hear the call

Love is all, is all you need

Love is all , yeah yeah at the Butterfly Ball

[Verse 3]

Ain't you happy that we're all together

At the ball in nature's countryside

And although we're wearing different faces

Nobody wants to hide

[Chorus]

Love is all, love is all,

Love is all, can't you hear the call

Love is all, is all you need

Love is all , yeah yeah at the Butterfly Ball

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]

All you need is love and understanding

Ring the bell and let the people know

We're so happy and we're celebratin'

Come on and let your feelings show

[Chorus]

Love is all, love is all,

Love is all, can't you hear the call

Love is all, is all you need

Love is all , yeah yeah at the Butterfly Ball

Statement

Apart from its musical success, "Love Is All" was also famous for its innovative music video. The video featured animated cartoon characters, the most prominent of which was a guitar-playing frog. This animation was distinctive for its time and contributed to the song's popularity and lasting appeal. The animation was created by the Halas and Batchelor studio, a prominent animation studio known for its innovative work. Harold Whitaker, one of the animators, contributed to this project. The video gained significant airplay over the years, often used as a fill-in during technical difficulties on TV channels. In the U.S., it was featured in children's TV programs, including "The Great Space Coaster" and Nickelodeon morning shows. The combination of its random airings, psychedelic visuals contributed to its popularity, especially among young viewers.
