R.E.M. - Shiny Happy People (Video)

[eunisgrc]

this song is intentionaly made ridiculous because it's ironic, it's sarcasm

[klopklop100]

I totally agree

[05891460]

I'm pretty happy. Still working on the shininess, tho.

[BlowoutBob]

wow lol

[rohnur]

Dear Real music, I miss you. Sincerely, a fan.

[AnthonyGrant025]

This should be the Hippie, Vegan , Yoga, Oraganic eating Anthem!! Don't they always seem like a ray of sun shine. XD

[zoszima]

i wish i were a shiny happy people

[DiamondDarrylK]

Throw your love around y'all!  AYYYYY!

[rulax231392]

i simply love this song :)

[DrStrangelove843]

The drummer has a unibrow!

[chunks132]

i think that this song was meant for gays....

[mojavi7]

why does this sound like the B-52's?

[sudokuwkroku]

@mojavi7 because it's jangle pop too.

[TheWhyteRayven]

@mojavi7 Because the lead female singer sings in this song, too ^^ 

[TheWhyteRayven]

@mojavi7 The lead singer of the B-52s, of course!

[1234514]

2:44 derp derp derp derp derp de-derp derp..

[freyahipkin]

I remember listening to this for about 4 months straight after I'd split up with one of my boyfriends after a long term relationship, thinking "I AM happy... I AM shiny" worked in the end haha

[busterbone]

what kind of drugs were they on?

[marcuskw93]

kurt cobain ao fundo..



[aylaandshelby]

Mike Mills looks just like this kid in my senior class so every time I see an REM video I think of the kid...he isn't aware of how lucky he is to be associated with such a super duper band! :D

[TheouAegis]

Man, Kate Pierson sure got around a lot in the golden days of pop music... I was like, "Is that Kate singing?" and then I looked up from my work and saw her.

[TheCyyhRestart]

Muito boa !

[mvictoria324]

this song scares me

[67bigredsled]

This was a great time when it didn't matter if you were gay straight or purple with yellow stripes! Love it

[drinkyourtea]

@67bigredsled but it was illegal to be gay until 1970 I'm not kidding you

[67bigredsled]

This brings me back to when I was a teenager! Still a great song and have no idea why people wouldn't like this song. I was 17 then

[dav61474]

I dont see any men in this vid. or women

[socio69elrey]

really shiny people makes you happy and makes your day so amazing

[tiopappo]

Kate Pierson is beatiful!!

[gukobi]

@tiopappo The song would have bombed like a B-52 without her!!!

[MrSuperheli]

Und noch immer...

Ich LIIIIIEEEEBE es...

Here we go......

[foffiification]

Questa canzone infonde una gioia e una voglia di cantare immensa :) fantastica!!!

[nacholimalynch]

Kate Pierson, incredible

[chasermanify]

whats with there beats they are so like i cant explain it....amazing?

[yankees2249]

Great song too bad they broke up :(

[gogolplex74]

Stand is much better

[dm101lad]

as much as i like this song i thin the vid is slightly erm....dodgy? lol

[stryder10171]

interesting fact: REM said that never hated this song. They just didn't want to play it live. Thank you for that information Pop Up Video :)

[TheMrZxp]

i find it funny that nobody in this video was holding hands.

[SuperEndospore]

Woah! Unibrow man scared me!

[xo6Escape6The6Fateox]

^______________^

[3N3MYify]

is that the singer from belly?

[christiaan81music]

good song for a flashmob ? :o

[MattWhatsGoinOn]

Kate be hot, hot, hot!!!

[SeeYouNextTuesday0]

All the critics understand this song was being happy for ironic purposes. Right?

[this2shallpass2008]

great song who cares what mtv shitheads or critics say

[suubwoof]

This song made me GAY

[mrlavabeast]

This catchy classic was played on MTV back in the days when it actually had 'MUSIC' on it. Now MTV is the Paris Kardashian Channel. MTV is now the channel for fucking loser no talent wastes of skin that have no connection to music at all. Unless said nobody's fuck some no talent rapper.

[RodriggoAlbuq]

I love it. Thank you REM. Thank you a lot!

I saw you in Rock In Rio 2001. I´m HAPPY!

[lavamente]

song = awsome video = not so much lol

[llukaso77]

I don't care what they say about this song! I just love it!

[kalbossa]

this song and video would've made Adolf Hitler shit a brick

[samtaurus007]

Regardless of all the negative comments people give about this song....it makes ME happy...and that's all that matters.

[TheSoDeM]

@samtaurus007 isn't that a bit self centered? ;)

[samtaurus007]

@TheSoDeM What would you like me to say? "it's a crap song that depresses the hell out of me"?. Am i being self centered?.......or is it you that's being mean?!?!?.....it's a good song....simple as.x

[TheSoDeM]

@samtaurus007 lol sarcasm...

[samtaurus007]

@TheSoDeM Ah, i see. Damn! it's usually me that dishes the sarcasm out, now i get to see what it's like to be on the receiving end....well done.lol

[vatreniboris]

@samtaurus007 Exactly the point as long as it makes you happy :D

[Theguitargirl97]

I remember waking up early on saturdays when I was a little kid and watching the episode where REM go on and sing this song over and over, fucking awesome.

[MrAgitator]

is the bass player john denver's son?

[individualist00000]

Fahrenheit 911

[ShatteredWolf88]

This video brought a huge smile to my face and made my day <3

[stoneslipk]

if she the singer of b52???

[mbritt97]

This reminds me of the days when you could turn on MTV and actually see music.

[bubbles199348]

@mbritt97 the truest comment on youtube MTV was so cool back in the day

[AssDroidz]

@mbritt97 I wanna see music, that would be so cool.

[vatreniboris]

@mbritt97 So true...I used to have a lot of BETA tapes recorded with all the stuff back in the days.

[TheScepticalSlave]

is this the girl from love shack? or was she a early member of the band?

Anyhow, always loved this track, use to bounce around the sitting room when I was a kid to this ... good times!

[jek21]

@TheScepticalSlave The band you're thinking of is The B-52s. The song is Love Shack.

[bdassvids]

does anyone know about the subliminal message of this song?..

[MrBlackdog120]

This song always makes you smile, and you can't help but sing along. plus i love the B52's too

[kingcrimson234]

kate pierson is hot here.

[kingcrimson234]

250 people are grimey and unhappy

[gustavonarez]

Put this song at the UN.

[bigredsled67]

REM was the greatest band when I was a teenager in the 80's

[elkike61]

Mother of God, I didn´t realize about the sublminal messages...

[bernlin2000]

I really love this song, there's clearly and edge underneath of it: I believe Michael Stipe had said previously that that it was this idea of putting on a face in the midst of terrible pain and destruction (referencing the people of Japan, who have been through so much and still manage to hold their head up). I love the song, period.

[Emodu91kiss]

When you are sad that music is good :D <3 !

[checkers3901]

is the guy on the stilts paul rudd ???

[sabrinalindinha24]

Thumbs up for who saw in 2012 ;)

[GingerRage101]

I feel shinier and happier ^-^

....and I want some stilts!..

[rambo999ification]

friends . . . . new years party

[BuddyFantastic]

Oi, the old geezer with the pipe,....You're supposed to be on the cycle!

[riotagus]

What a Happy Song.

[echo962]

Kate Pierson is so damn sexy!

[djabroer]

everyday i listen to this song, it makes me a happy person lol

[PopsMcDougy]

LOVE IT!

[jessenuf]

Kate Pierson makes this song sparkle.

[racidtino]

People put this on a worst song list! I knew this song since i was a kid, keep in mind i'm 14, it made me feel happy!

[HarlotEffect93]

I wish REM never broke up, cause this song is pure awesomeness.

[YoureGuilty]

These guys are just so laid back and cool. Yeah, I love my rap, but I so love these guys. Such a cheerful track.

[MrSurferjer]

This song just makes me smile! :)

[dearly0beloved]

This is one of the "worst songs of all time"? People don't know satire when they see it!

[Kibby95]

derp derp derp derp derpderpderp derp derp derp [8] :3 good song X3

[evediomedi1]

Este video me gustaa muchooo! :D

[xXAUTUMNofSOLACEXx]

This was scientifically proven by Mental Floss as one of the happiest songs of all time and can clinically make you joyful and happy.

Whoever put this on a "worst-songs-of-all-time" list MUST burn for their Sins................

[4everydda]

This was my favorite song when I was a little kid!! The Sesame Street Muppets sang it once and I loved it!!!! I used to find my parents CD and dance around my living room to this <3

[MrPecony]

It peaked at #10 on the Billboard Hot 100, the fourth and, to date, last R.E.M. single to reach the top 10 on the chart. It also peaked at #6 on the UK Singles Chart, becoming the first R.E.M. song to reach the top ten in the UK. It wasn't bad then, it isn't bad now, how can it be among lists of worst, when its succesfull and appealing to nowadays public. Maybe its a bit distinctive from usual repertoire of the band, but deffinatly does not deserve place among the worst.

[shadeslinger]

1:16 Monobrow guy is like teh sex

[erinblack990]

great tune!!!

[Satyr3n]

peeoool peepooolll

nanana

[MsChamallow]

i want the same drug to be a shiny happy people

[cypresspuz]

Isnt that super cute Kate ??

[jungsbodyguard]

I don't understand why the band hate this song and it's appeared on many 'worst songs of all time" lists.

1.it's a good song.

2. Turn on the radio for half an hour, on any station. They'll be 5 songs worse than this.

[joedalton155]

@jungsbodyguard Some people put this song in a "worst songs list" ? Omg how they dare ! They must burn !

[RaidenWarriors]

@joedalton155 That is probably exactly the kind of reaction REM intended this song of irony to receive. Those people took the lyrics too literally just like they did to Randy Newman.

[Genedancingmachine]

@joedalton155 They wish it was meant ironically, that's whats spoiling it for them.

[lunchisreadyfool]

@jungsbodyguard the radio this morning reminded me of this song... not all radio stations are that awful!!

[TehSilencerzz]

@jungsbodyguard Agreed.

[LegendaryMetalHQ]

@jungsbodyguard

totally true

[59catmando]

@jungsbodyguard I agree,everything boy George did was worse.

[TheMarsFactory]

@jungsbodyguard They hate it because it's insincere. They, especially Michael, doesn't believe in the message. Happiness and all that. I personally love it, and don't understand how it could possibly be in a worst songs list.

[jungsbodyguard]

@3pankracy3 I'm not quite sure what you're suggesting here. That there shouldn't be any happy songs (or all happy songs are bad) because there are bad things happening in the world?

[skychains]

COCAINE EFFECTS O.O

[GreenDayRocks1972]

Ouch! This song is... I don't trust these happy songs.

[TomAlexWhyte4SALE]

kate is sooo fwoooking hot !!

[mrbugalugs666]

[Suppersonico]

La cancion que hace sonreir a todos siempre.



[juanete157]

[marcher1720]

The song is one of my favorites! Makes my HAPPY! enjoy and ty REM you rock! hugs, marg

[MrSwadds]

Gosh, that takes us back, doesn't it?

[SoulGold213]

does anyone else think REM is one of the most overrated bands of all time?

[sharkclub1]

@SoulGold213 nope.

[ASADAAAAAAMA]

proudmary86, Thanks, So I am not the last human alive, Bellla

[ghettoguy830]

The first time I ever heard this song was on beavis and butthead.

[proudmary86]

[CaninhaBrava51]

[wellholyballs]

[MrRafa670]

muito legal

[BoscoBurckhardt]

I knew a guy like this and admired him for it. I gave him the compliment in a bar: "You are one of those shiny happy people who have perfect lives." He replied, "You'll be alone and an alcoholic in ten years." The irony is that he had the beer in his hand and I had been drinking soda.

[marciahoy]

@BoscoBurckhardt that was very naughty of that man. You are very kind to not have tore his head off lol

[ekpp60]

WHAT A GREAT VIDEO!!! THIS WAS ALSO PERFORMED ON THE THE MUPPETS,THANK'S FOR THE POSTING!!
