"This Friendly World" is a song first performed by American singer Fabian in the late 1950s.[1] The text was written by lyricist Ken Darby.
The song is noted for being performed by entertainer Andy Kaufman. In the biopic Man on the Moon, "This Friendly World" was performed during Kaufman's funeral by Jim Carrey. A different version by Carrey and Michael Stipe appears on the film's soundtrack.
