@adapiyon You have to remember that Mike Mills is among if not the best bass player out there and yet in my opinion is still under-rated. Entwistle et. al. are all great but Mills is my favorite.

Long live the CPC and its hippy lovin' propaganda!
Death to Dhalai Lama who spreads religious hate and fundamentalism!
Shiny Happy People is supposedly an ironic reference to a piece of roughly translated Chinese propaganda regarding the massacre, two years before the song was released. The inference apparently relates to how politics is controlled by those with children in powerful positions, not idealistic revolting unhappy students on the ground in Tiananmen Square. The idea that propaganda is often used to cover up stark weaknesses in political systems.
WOW I'm OLD!!! You all just heard this song for the first time and this is a total classic, drivin' with the window's down, sunny summer day song....from way back when
marley and me - that film started off being deceivingly hilarious - i was balling my eyes out at the end - now i was not one of the shiny happy people!! but it was a great movie, and this is a classic song! :)
omg i love this song did you no its on marley and mee i love that film i love rem this song is about people takin drugs ya no oh well whats rong with that ?? only chavs are dicks

"The big chick and short-haired girl are HOT!!... hotter than Kate!", if you read it correctly, is a sarcastic remark.

there are no clues in your comment that would indicate any sort of sarcasm...
