    		"Everybody's Talkin'" by Harry Nilsson was the theme song to "Midnight Cowboy", a 1969 movie about a male prostitute in New York City.

    		Nilsson sang Everybody's Talkin' but he didn't write it. Fred Neill did.

    		Not so. "Everybody'ss Talkin'" figured prominently in the film but it was not the theme song. That song is simply called "Theme for Midnight Cowboy" which was composed and conducted by John Barry (1933-2011).

    Here it is being played by Toots Thielemans with Boston pops live. Awesome.

    This is about the song "2112" alone, not the rest of the album or anything else Rush-related. The epic more than deserves special attention! Questions 1-10 are mainly about the events in the song, 11-15 about the song itself, and 16-20 are lyrics.
