R.E.M. - Orange Crush (Video)

[victorcatany]

ed ecco i "soliti coglioni" che mettono il "non mi piace"! soli soletti,che besti!!

[pagandude1]

have always loved REM only i have always had a little trouble understanding their lyrics... anybody else experience that?

[rebelanarch]

remind me of too many puppies.

[Ipseity1]

Michael Stipe explained that the song was about a young American football player leaving the comforts of home for the war in Vietnam.

[RandomNPC15]

um agent orange? This song is about Orange Crush, the delicious drink.

[hapbeyguano]

this is about agent orange and those who were in veitnam,...

[ivex91]

@hapbeyguano what about it smartass?

[hapbeyguano]

this is about agent orange

[fraternity023]

If we were to use Agent Orange in Iraq and Afghanistan, this war would have been over a long time ago.

[WuWuWuTangTangTang]

@fraternity023 No, it wouldn't. This war has lasted this long by design. Turn off the tv.

[bollpwnbay]

@WuWuWuTangTangTang

kill your TV

[barbenoire22]

@fraternity023

I hope your a troll, if not turn off foxnews

[rugbyguy59]

@fraternity023 "If we were to use Agent Orange in Iraq and Afghanistan..."

Yeah, like using a defoliant in the desert would make a whole lot of difference. Facepalm.

[retrojoe64]

Reminds me of 21 Jump Street....

[idkzero]

lol, the vid is about OCD dip wads. nothing to do with war or anything.

[BelindaKyle]

The dilemma of a soldier trying to do his duty in a war that is wrong. Support the troops, not the war. They're the true heroes.

[ahuxley123]

@BelindaKyle I just left Afghanistan 1 month ago.

[BelindaKyle]

@ahuxley123 Then you have my respect... and I hope you're doing well.

[pureperil]

ok dale! now git your couuuuntry ass out of here!

[arthur131313]

Was this once the Denver Broncos' theme song?

[skaterat1341990]

[drcocoloko]

[TheQwetyu]

[sicorange3]

@drcocoloko I think the Crush brand is everywhere...

[OfficialTribe]

This song made me like REM back in the day.

[ExPo90210]

everything looks better in slow motion

[dsidesnyc]

@ExPo90210 death doesnt...

[MegaRiktane]

Great tune

[Bobdede]

straordinaria canzone

[MyQuesnel]

Maybe this song is a way of expressing thoughts and feelings from their point of view. Everyone perceives things differently in life..who are you to judge?

[chendomaniaco10]

28 coments? wtF?

[Anna0000000000000001]

OMG! this man is very hot xD haha sorry but... is the true... so... too is crazy... i love the song.

[theute01]

To all the young men and women who have died for our freedom, may God hold you and keep you safe. War is an evil that can never be won by any side. While greed and hunger for power is granted to our countries leaders, war will continue.

Bob Dylan wrote "I will stand over your grave until I am sure that you are dead". The Masters of War are the most vile of human beings. Defending your country is one thing but to actively seek retaliation, is evil.

Throw down your guns.

[dirkgonthier101]

@theute01 Yeah, and mankind lived on forever in peace! :))) Why don't you wake up?

[theute01]

@dirkgonthier101 We all have an opinion and have freedom to express them. My post was aimed at the waste of good lives in the pursuit of greed. I do not have a solution but do have a democratic right to voice my opinion. You can berate me if you wish. The sad fact is, you sound very much like the ignorant majority who feel so fucking comfortable and have lost sight of the truth. No dramas, I wish you all the very best in your life. The UTE!

[dirkgonthier101]

@theute01 An opinion, my dearest friend, is based on facts. Your post, however, ignores all facts regarding this matter. You may live in your dreams, if that's all you're capable of, but don't expect the rest of humanity to be as ignorant as you. The (sad) truth is that war has ALWAYS been a part of the human experience and will FOREVER remain a part of that experience. By the way, not only humans know war. So, learn history, read Jane Goodall before writing all kinds of rubbish.

[nicholsjoshua15]

Vietnam was the war that made the soldier wander , was his government his real enemy. The Vietnam war could have been won with easily had the fat cats not said 'you can`t fight in Camboia ; Laous or go to North Vietnam'. The VC and NVA where evil bastards they would march into vilages , and say 'fight for us or your wife and kids will be guted and fed to pigs alive ' what the hell is a man supposed to do fight back ? not likely machets agaist AKM 47S

[MrBrightside118]

@nicholsjoshua15 Were you deliberately trying to make yourself sound like and idiot by spelling every other word wrong

[dirkgonthier101]

@nicholsjoshua15 Hahaha!!! :))) Certainly not spared from utterly dumb and hopelessly biased ideologic propaganda. If that's all what you have to say, why don't you just shut up?

[MrRusteksystem]

inclreible!!!!

[darthherky]

I don't remember this song having a video at the time this album came out...did this get put together recently? Love this album.

[myvwtube]

In my opinion "Green" was the best album form REM

[Tinarinkus]

I can't believe this doesn't have more views and comments. REM is the shit.

[ipodwisdom]

in the 60s

[britdemo]

@ipodwisdom , it wasnt the 60's ..........early 80's at the most

[NickB1967]

@britdemo The song was late 80's, but I think the subject matter was about the Vietnam War.

[darkoath13]

@NickB1967 You're right, but Peter Buck was quoted saying "We have performed this song perhaps a hundred times, yet I still don't know what the f--k it's about"

[bebrit42]

@darkoath13 the songs about agent orange and its affects on human beings, you really couldnt pick up on that?

[darkoath13]

@bebrit42 I'm just quoting Peter Buck

[darkoath13]

@ipodwisdom What are you talking about? REM started in '88.....

[llama24230]

@darkoath13 Nope. Inception date and first EP "Chronic Town", 1980.

[GAdawgsfan93]

@darkoath13 REM started in 1980 in Athens,GA.

[piccanninni]

"Orange Crush" was on the album Green, not Monster. It was a long time ago though... :)

[MysteryWeaver1]

I have never grown tired of he album Monster. I could listen to the entire thing once or twice a week for the rest of my life. I could probably do that with every R.E.M. album, but this one in particular grabbed onto me and won't let go.

[evelynmh]

@MysteryWeaver1 Monster is their best effort imo.....

[leatherman665]

@evelynmh automatic for the people

[nicholsjoshua15]

@leatherman665 Green
