Good points! I suppose you really can't use the word everything as a substitute here.

This one I don't agree with too much. In your example "all of the pies", the word all is responsible for the word pies. In "all I saw was stars", the word all is not responsible for the word stars, it is response for the word saw, as in what you saw. It doesn't take a plural word even though there is a plural word present in the sentence. But can you explain to me that this example of yours works for this specific track title? Maybe I'm just not seeing it.
