“W·O·L·D” is a song written and performed by Harry Chapin. The song is about an aging disc jockey who travels the United States seeking happiness, which he believes he will find by following his passion for being a radio broadcaster, only to discover that his life, looks and voice have passed him by, which is alluded to in the song’s title. (WOLD) The song is sung through the point-of-view of a phone call conversation from the DJ to his ex-wife, only hearing what he has to say to her. The lyrics go on to reveal that perhaps we can never change who we really are and that what he had really wanted was the love and companionship that had eluded him in a previous failed relationship.

Song lines: ♪ Feeling all of forty-five, going on fifteen ... The bright good morning voice who's heard but never seen ... I am the morning DJ on W*O*L*D ♫
