U2 and Muse officially wrapped up their South American stadium tour on Wednesday night, but hours after the show ended they headed over to the Sao Paulo nightclub Bar Secreto and continued  playing on a considerably smaller stage. You'd think anything that happens super late night at  Bar Secreto remains a secreto, but thankfully somebody brought a camera and uploaded some of the songs to YouTube. Click here to watch Bono cover "Psycho Killer" with Larry Mullen Jr. and Muse's Dom Howard on drums. Click here to watch bits of every song, including The Edge singing "Miss You" and "Let's Dance" and Mullen take a rare turn at the mic with "The Wild Rover." It's unclear if Adam Clayton and the rest of Muse were in the club. Maybe they were playing next door at Bar Super Secreto.

“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.
