Bruce Springsteen, Miley Cyrus, Beyoncé, Peter Gabriel and Clint Eastwood will compete in the Best Original Song category at next year's Golden Globes ceremony. Springsteen's "The Wrestler," the end-credits song for Darren Aronofsky's The Wrestler, will also feature on Bruce's upcoming album Working On a Dream. Cyrus' "I Thought I Lost You" from Bolt, Beyoncé's "Once In A Lifetime" from Cadillac Records and Peter Gabriel's Wall-E theme "Down To Earth" will also attempt to fend off actor/director Clint Eastwood and his "Gran Torino," performed with Jamie Cullum from the movie of the same name.

While strange on paper, Eastwood's nomination should come as no surprise as the Oscar-winning director and the man who portrayed "Dirty Harry" is also an accomplished musician who has scored his own films for years. And over in the Best Actor In a Drama category, Rolling Stone cover star Brad Pitt grabbed a nomination for his work in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, which also locked up nods for Best Drama, Best Score and Best Screenplay.

“Everyday People”

Sly and the Family Stone | 1968

"Everyday People" managed to trailblaze in two different ways -- it was one of the first pop hits to deal with the subject of racial harmony, and it utilized Larry Graham's "slap" technique on the bass guitar, which would soon be copied by countless other bassists. Graham once said about his pulsating style, "I'd never done that before … that's where the freedom of creativity came in for the band, that we'd be allowed to do that." In 1978, the song's line "Different strokes for different folks" would be borrowed for the title of the hit television show Diff'rent Strokes.
