R.E.M. - Stand (Video)

[OakyVids]

winter wrapup

[crazy123atom]

@OakyVids Oh God. It actually sounds like it.

[jackwolf131]

There was a new study out a few days ago that if you stand at work then you'll burn more caleries and be more healthier so this song is true. good song!

[j88k001]

Your face - is going - to be on the ground

My junk - is going - to ram up your brown!!

[saKhanSteele]

A fairly rare "happy" song from Stipe and co. Brings back good holiday memories, this one. :-D

[theerxo]

:DDDDDDDDD 2006 ??? :D :D :D

[danielmarkcrowder]

I love Generation X culture, makes me miss the old days...

[gogolplex74]

If wishes were trees, the trees would be falling

[diamonddhk222]

im dying from military microwave torture- please pray for me

[DonnerParty1000]

Poor Ben.

[Mornington01]

think about direction

[ROL4NDpkmnguide]

this is so happy

[Crusader1089]

Spam in the place where I live (ham and pork)

Think about nutrition, wonder what's inside it now (oh boy)

Spam in my luchbox at work (it's the best)

Really makes a darn good sandwhich any way you slice it at all

[saKhanSteele]

@Crusader1089 LOL! You should record it and post the video here. ;-)

[DonBobyTV]

"get a life"

[0987cheez]

This song reminds me of "Birdhouse in Your Soul" by They Might Be Giants.

[lowrider121990]

Lol worst dancing ever but good song

[phonecha111]

My favorite moment in P&R history. I LITERALLY cried.

[kdhoop]

Just going ahead and 'liking' all the comments to do with Parks & Rec...

[ret6578]

Ben's claymation in Parks and Rec, lmao.

[MrKarmacanic]

[braro442]

Parks and Rec.

[emailtheoldies]

they wrote this to make fun of the banana splits

[zoofolk1]

REM rocks! Doesn't matter what song or what video......it's ALL good and they will be VERY missed...........:-(

[pilozard]

Thumbs up if spam brought you here.

[castle0417]

I work out to this video...

[YouFailEpic]

wait...how the..... where am i? how did i get here from videos about drilling door hinges?

[acbloy]

@YouFailEpic No, check with the sun- your feet are going to be on the ground- your head is there to move you around= if wishes were trees the reasons would be callin'=STAND! and make better hinges@#$%%^^&

[acbloy]

@acbloy that was @#$%%^ in the nicest way

[Arran64]

Yet here we all are YouTube.  It's time for everyone to "stand" and think about direction - seize the day; you'll wonder why you hadn't before.

[analord]

notice the way the young boy prefigures the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the WTC...

[makemarker]

@analord lol yeah, it is kind of weird that he jumps on a 9 after walking past the buildings ;))

[bigalbos89]

@makemarker Not being rude, It's an S not a 9. It is a compass they're dancing on.

[makemarker]

@bigalbos89 yeah, you're quite right mate but it does at first glance look like a 9 ;) I am not into these theories (I am mostly a skeptic) but sometimes I watch these documentaries just to get some food for thought ;))

[enbcart]

I love the dancing haha

[tadixPL]

1:40 WTF IS SIMON AMMAN DOING HERE?

[MikeDSept21]

I think of this song every time I try to give someone directions and they don't know which way East is.

[thisguyrighthere3]

 1:38 this is where they started experimenting with drugs.. they lost their heads and their feet fell off the grownd

[castle0417]

White people dancing...EPIC

[manacaster]

[castle0417]

[WeirdKlemch]

This video is such a morale booster :D

[carolannaugustus]

'the evolution of the ignorance within homosapien brain' can (at times) be very very very sad (especially when.....'TRULY' DOES NOT matter any..... longer.

[carolannaugustus]

The biggest Genius of all? (very rare, with the 'evolution of the homosapien brain')

[MrLuftwaffe109]

@Alos21

Correction - 63

Also, why are we retards for having a different opinion from you?

[quickstanger]

@:18 pink skirt. WORK IT BABY!!

[GlorianaBanana]

Notice when they say "now face north" the dancers are facing west? :)

[xxxjennyxxx1974]

[zoofolk1]

[ebietoo]

It's just how the late eighties/early-mid nineties period in music being SO MUCH DAMN BETTER than it is now........

[Fab4Sunrises]

[zoofolk1]

[truthserum2000]

Great Track by Rem, here's another you might like from "The Issue, Love is all you need" youtube.com/watch?v=mcfY3K4pI1­I

[MinecraftWorldz]

Michael Stipe has hair here!! :D

[emoqix]

Stand!

Stand up for your rights!

Stand!

[desperatemanblues]

Get a Life :')

[kylemcquillan]

The kettle points North.

[LisaDawnn]

I don't know what I miss more: their music, the World Trade Center or the clear blue skies devoid any chemtrail. I wish I knew that the 90's would be the last best decade! *sigh*

[spliffburton]

I was in a talent show one time in school, like 1989 and some chicks did the Stand Dance to this song and won it. hahaha. I played drums, apparently not better than the dance. That's what this reminds me of. I heard R.E.M. hates this song, but it's catchy!

[karen77777vegas]

im a dancin loveeee ittttttttt

[kingslice75]

one of the most underrated videos ever. I would LOVE to learn that dance!

[phyllyg72]

Nope, I do too. It's make me happy music.

[Vidinotes]

are you learning the dance with me? XD

[goharma]

@FanOfTheColts Maybe she/he should have SWOED you a dictionary instead.

[acbloy]

@goharma Peyton Manning MVP- they cant win a game of checkers with out him

[goharma]

@acbloy Exactly. Because that had something to do with what I was talking about.

[harryocho]

esta como todo marihuano el video jjaja

[TheSonsofHorusx]

all there videos are like cheesy lol

[TheAdamewing]

The hairy pits on the black chick kind of bring you back down to earth...

[Fuzy2K]

"Now they snore..."

"Now they sweat..."

:P

[NeighborhoodLessons]

R.E.M. always lifts your spirits

[Arran64]

@NeighborhoodLessons Well, not always... :p

[7Udaan7]

I did that dance the first time I got laid

[LionsToTheChristians]

Dancing like that definatly gets you laid.

[ZadaheaD]

3:02 right when he look to the side, SO CUTE ! :)

[Gerowaits]

this and shiny happy people were ordered by the mob as punishment for being decadent threatening terrorists; the alternative was running through the streets of manhattan with axl roses' shit smeared all over them and holding a press conference and publicly admitting that they're complete dorks.

[villero666]

Alf song!!!

[christianesjoy]

No, not the only one by any means! I am dancing my butt off too!

[Jecizza]

Wow they are too cool.....

[freeman28100]

Man, I've gotta learn this dance.

[TheRealSiguy]

I love how they never face the right direction.

[HelloFade2]

One thing i've notiched about older R.E.M videos.....the band doesn't really appear in them.

[GAdawgsfan93]

@HelloFade2 Hopefully you were being sarcastic. Hahahaha

[tobaker70]

wonder why this was never a popular line dance?

[DougMcDave]

I did see them live in 1995. The band was great, but the crowd and the crowd control guards really sucked! All the good stuff ended with what was on the stage itself.

[jojokabo78]

Obama at 2:13

[NamIsIll]

i like REM but this video is so gay

[italianstallion30]

2:17 Twin towers...

[aronnov]

i miss the 80's :(

[donwantstobesedated]

It's easy to think this is just a fun little pop song but I really do think there's something a bit deeper to its message. Such a great song.

That's a stupid dance though.

[VanillaGorillaVa]

Was that Kathy Griffin @2:09???

[semkobenko]

GET A LIFE LOL

[MCJMC1]

My brother passed away in 97 at 12 yrs old.. I was 16.. This song reminds me of him so much and jus having fun watching the vid or hearing it on the radio.. Im so happy we have youtube/vevo so that I can relive some of those amazing memories!!

[MrLuftwaffe109]

Am I the only one that becomes extremely happy just watching them dance?



[Simon4642]

@MrLuftwaffe109 not ever..im soooo  fucking happy to dance period!!!

[maryfay53]

@MrLuftwaffe109 You are not alone.

[insideoutboy100]

@MrLuftwaffe109 no, sadly

[TheGreencreeper]

@MrLuftwaffe109 they just make everyone happy

[RocketR38]

@MrLuftwaffe109 Yes

[Alos21]

@MrLuftwaffe109 I guess there are 56 other retards

[QrtOpus1]

Happily they let Al make the classic 'Spam' :)

[HumanistMercenary4]

R.I.P REM. 1980 - 2011. Thanks for all the good stuff guys.

[TheSprintingmonkey]

Am I the only one that thinks that the guitar sounds like the tune of "Winter wrap up?"

[polarisathena]

The girl on the right looks cute.

[funnyfrets117]

The lid...is there...to open the can...

...the can...is there...to hold in the SPAM!

[spxmet]

God bless these guys, even if they aren't a band anymore. They leave behind a legacy of consistency and great fucking music.

[MissGreenDay7]

I'm devestated that they broke up.  Now I can never see them live.

[nandoisapunk]

Lisboa,at 0:20 :)

[LordSagon]

@nandoisapunk estamos em toda parte :)

[stoneeyedkiller]

LOL. What were they thinking doing this video? One of the worst videos ever. But the song is nice. I like it.

[txmomoftwo1]

man, i can remember back in the day thinking "oh these guys suck" then revisiting their music not more than 4 years later and wondering what i was thinking before.

[hork111]

@txmomoftwo1 Haha. That's the same thing I thought about Dave Matthews. I was like, damn, this dude sounds retarded. THEN I saw them live on PBS. It was electrifying, the paint was literally peeling off the walls those dudes were jamming so hard.

[ESA601]

michael stipe with hair !!!!!!!!! whaouuuuu

[Stereotype23]

As much as I love R.E.M. this is one of the most annoying songs ever made

[MetaPunkXP]

RIP REM

[sludgeINC1]

[NicolasV87]

Bill Berry's unibrow is just so... right up in your face! CANNOT IGNORE IT! Awesome song!!!

[sstyblo]

"If you have a dissociation disorder, listen to this song..."

[knantyeljsoen]

I think its funny that the dancers aren't facing the same direction as the song. LOL

[lazrpo]

@slaphappypappyOG And you're a fucking moron.

AAAAAAAAAND SCENE.

[iezzi80]

@slaphappypappyOG one of the stupidest comment of all time

[knantyeljsoen]

[MrJoewar7]

[pennyroyaltea89]

Great song!!! terrible video!!! hahaha oh god!!!

[COLovesYou1]

It's funny because they when they wrote this song they wanted to make the stupidest sounding lyrics they could XD

[JoseAriel1408]

I will forever think of the Chris Elliot show "Get a Life" whenever I hear this tune.

[thejuggernaut648]

@JoseAriel1408 Despite the actually lack of song in that theme.

[yeni6898]

@JoseAriel1408 TOTALLY, me too

[dantechick]

@JoseAriel1408 omg, i thought i was the only one that remembered that show!

[SirHprdgn]

@JoseAriel1408 I was about to write the same thing; great show.

[TheMedievalHamster]

Listen to "Driver 8". That's genious.

[stevo99651]

29 people are sitting

[MultiJiles]

I wish Micheal Stipe could have done the collaboration with Kurt Cobain they had planned that would have been epic

[rifferbox]

REM... a special part of my life....

[420Guitar420]

RIP REM, one of the greatest alt rock bands ever.

[krunchy420smoke]

@420Guitar420 RIP? Dude they not dead, they called it quits and moved on with life and left us a legacy of music. All generation's enjoy R.E.M. and thats whats makes them a wonderfull group. Yes they are not together but they WILL BE REMEMBERED........ Thanks for the Awesome tunes you left us R.E.M.

[420Guitar420]

@krunchy420smoke I didn't mean it literally I meant it in the sense that they are a band no more.

[MegaBobo7788]

[Arkipelago2]

[vitoduval]

Get a Life with Chris Elliott

[tedrusted]

[byff2323]

Back when life was a lot more simple.

[alphameo]

I love REM but I think this so is awful.
