REM - Shiny Happy People + lyrics

[JenAshxDuh]

The first time I heard this song was on Sesame Street ;3

[Frucade2703]

i don't know why, but this reminds me on Desperate Housewives xDD especially 0:16 o..O

[bbnnsince1981]

I don't know if i get it ... is this song optimistic or sarcastic ?? what's the intention ???

[mundanewarrior]

I'm pretty sure the people who pressed the dislike button also like this song...they just don't like that they do :)

[14sieghart]

oooo capeta

[dutchessclove]

shinny happy high people xD 

[Sh0leY]

your not happy beavis...your a miserable piece of crap

[IStrenghtAndHonorI]

Ooohhh YES I found it! =D

[Raptorkingdom1]

REM FOREVER!

[nemanja941406]

I just watched Marley and me... again, and i needed to listen this song... again :) ... :,)

[AlgumaCoisaNoAr]

What´s the matter with the dislikes? And if is that a shitty music about happiness? Should I be happy listen to it anyway, should I like it at once?

[yowyOw69]

@AlgumaCoisaNoAr WTF? STFU!

.

[AlgumaCoisaNoAr]

@yowyOw69 Haha... Are you really happy man? You just proved that shitty music doesn´t work for it. Thanks.

[Venom957]

@AlgumaCoisaNoAr 'Shitty' music does work for it. Let's just assume that the person who told you to 'STFU' was a silly little kid that was just looking for someone to take their pre-pubescent anger out on.

[1gravityann]

my ex hated this song. but its because i played it to death. i love this song. lolz

[ZelieMilo]

Hi, I'm trying to upload a video with this in the background, but the sound is muted as the track is not covered by the youtube standard licence. Can I ask which version you've used?

Thanks.

[bcband360]

please click on the video response

[bcband360]

watch our video bright shiny morning

[KyFriedPlatypus]

I was singing this song during a seizure... don't know how or why.

[MegaBanjaluka]

When I used to pick my kids up for weekend with Dad this was the first track on the machine when we got into the house and we used to go mental a la Katie Pierson to it. I am pleased to report that my kids are now in their mid twenties, balanced and responsible but very shiny happy people!!! Very uplifting!!!

[kathy7011]

Timeless!!!

[talon434]

[monson108]

20 people weren't Shiny Happy People lol

[auburnfan313]

Just heard this song in Publix... I'll be going to that grocery store more often!

[MrTrty5]

Isn't it ironic when one of your bands biggest hits happens to be a song your band despises?

[awesomekidddo]

@MrTrty5 they despised this song?

[Easyjet8810]

19 People fancy Justin Bieber

[daveman12000]

@Easyjet8810 shut the fuck up you prick, no they don't, they just don't like the song, fuck off

[lynncase12]

This video went viral on Samoa

[screw341]

R.I.P. R.E.M

[kittensmasher46]

This song gives me hope, even if there is no god.

[123Agentorange]

almost the perfect song.... up there with 'could you be loved' by bob marley. who would guess its anti holocaust???? fuck me... the sheer atrocity....

[ThisWorldWillBeMine]

REM WERE SENT BY GOD

[DrSatanAIDS]

There is no God :D

[Pezreh]

@DrSatanAIDS If you don't believe there is a God, the a Satan either. Which I believe also.

[jinrunco]

i just like the violin in the beginning

[MPL029]

This song brings many happy memories!

[KasiLynn82]

ah, listen to that bass. <333

[Ardhamon5000]

So catchy but so fucking creepy at the same time. The Music Video was even WORSE!!!

[yoshihasyou]

I remember jamming out to this on sesame street when I was little <3

I'm 17 and I love REM (:

[Shadowreeper213]

@yoshihasyou lol, nice :) I'm just as old as you are :) When I listen to this song I get a strong, happy feeling because it reminds me of childhood memories with my dad. I grew up with my parents divorced so I only got to see him on weekends. That was up until I was around nine to eleven or so years old, then we moved out of state and ever since then I only see him around christmas time for a week or two. It's amazing how much of an impact music can have on people in so many different ways.

[codern]

wicked tune

[NYChica23]

@codern Agreed ♥♥

[ivandro290898]

[Theguitargirl97]

I remember being a little kid and watching rem on Sesame Street this song with some puppets :D

[windmill63]

i dont understand why people dont love this song...to me its one of thier greats even if the band themselves dont like it

[andr00123]

@windmill63 really?

[GoldPheer]

Marley and Me :'( <3

[demogirl03]

Whenever I have a bad day, I listen to this song and I get super happy. Pure undescrible happiness:)

[BritishJamaican777]

to Minklemoify: This song reminds me of my son when he was just born. My brother used to sing it to him all the time and call him "shiny happy baby"! lovely memories! :-)

[adamjlemus]

I hear that they played this song no stop in Guantanamo at one point…..from what I understand results where mixed

[vaiodesony]

@adamjlemus If they play this song non stop at Guantanamo, I wouldn't mind being a prisoner there. ;)

[Minklemooify]

reminds me of being 7 years old, and my beautiful mother in her tie dye skirts, red curly hair, doc martins, dancing with me and my younger brother , with the smell of Patchouli oil burning in the back ground, lovely childhood memories i get from this song....

[MPL029]

@Minklemooify 7? I feel so old now..lol

[CinammonBuns37]

I think it's funny that hardly anyone knows that this song is supposed to be sarcastic. And Michael Stipe actually said that this is the song that he hates the most :P

[ThePolerbearproducts]

0:15-0:24 i could listen to over and over again!!!

[KasiLynn82]

@ThePolerbearproducts amen. :)

[CrashHyuga]

15 persons are emos

[MrLennonissocoollike]

@CrashHyuga You mean 15 people are into emo music? xD It's a genre of music, nobody can possibly be an emo :). But yeah, I guess 16 people are into emo music now...>.<

[Huff9542]

FURRY HAPPY MONSTERS SINGING

[gaybathroomsex]

YEAH!!!!

Butthole sodomy occurs when you put this song at FULL BLAST when waiting for Larry Craig to arrive in an airport bathroom to give somebody a blumpkin until another airport cop arrests him for an incident similar to his scandal in 2007.

[marinaromiti]

15 dull sad people

[MrFamiliaayala]

[ToxicSoccerPlaya4124]

r.i.p. R.E.M. <3

[RandonStuff5665]

Whenever i'm happy i just put water on my hand so i'm shiny

So I can be a shiny happy person! XD

[saibotsleba]

Marley und Ich :D

[GalapagosInsel]

@saibotsleba du wirst es nicht glauben, aber als der Film vor knapp 2 Wochen lief, habe ich das Lied auch gehört und mir schnell eine Notiz in meinem Handy gemacht. Heute habe ich endlich mal bei youtube nachgeguckt und siehe da..... es ist mal wieder ein schönes Lied von R.E.M. :'D hach, ich freu mich so, und ich weiß nicht worüber :'D liegt wohl am Song =)

[clocktwo2000]

@GalapagosInsel

HUH!!??!?!?!?!?!

[asdf1234567889]

@saibotsleba in HD...der Strand... =)

[Lolzug]

[KoeniglicheKunst]

[Bruderflo21]

@KoeniglicheKunst Ja natürlich

[Fides4Ever3333]

[Explosivenothingness]

[kingcosmo93]

[SamanthaHarrison23]

I'm here because marley and me.

[EliKnowWonder72]

Marley And Me

[FireflyX91]

15 people aren't shiny happy people =(

[Miusification]

@FireflyX91 I think those 15 ARE the shiny happy people.

[reposage]

is not (in ) perhaps.

[reposage]

It's a shame the sarcasm was lost on the dance-able tune. Sarah Palin in a shiny happy person.

[Chikkadog97]

marley and me has let me here ♥

[screw341]

R.I.P REM.

[xxpeniskingxx]

Ghost Politics says this is a gay nigger-loving song. 

[linis361]

This song was in my english schoolbook:DD

[hprulz713]

@linis361 What did it say about it?

[longrod]

Fuck you Goat for no Fruitbowl Wednesday show

[soliverostavares]

@ghostpolitics. Ghost, the man with plan, says you song is gayer than fruit salad.

Love,

Your friendly capitalist

[XHauntX]

@soliverostavares Man Ghost is lucky, he has his own personal army.

[soliverostavares]

@XHauntX LOL not in a good way. The reason we do what we do is to piss him off

[XHauntX]

@soliverostavares Man Ghost is lucky, he has his own personal army.

[netzde]

Thank you R.E.M. I will never forget you!!! What wonderfull 31 years!

'the skill in attending a party is knowing when it's time to leave.'

Leaving R.E.M never easy,

I saw the light fading out.

Find it in your heart, it's pulling me apart,

Find it in your heart, it's pulling me apart.

I told you, forever, I love you, forever, forever, forever...

[TheShiniestNidoran]

DID SOMEONE SAY COMMENT GRAFFITI?

[cshcrazy]

Ghost said this song sucks

[juangta117]

a bunch of fruity ass fruit bowl gay bastards that like taking it in the pooper -ghost

[crayzemotherfuker]

@juangta117 fuk of

[p4ul1z]

Ghost from True Capitalist Radio is a niggerhater.

[TheOmegaAnon]

Ghost is a melting pot of awesome.

[DoWhatsRight1212]

ITS TIME FOR COMMENT GRAFFITI!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[deadRoden7]

HAPPY FRUITBOWL WEDNESDAY!!

[whatsavailable213213]

SO SO SOSOSOSOSOSOSO SO SO SO SO SAD AND BUMMED THEY BROKE UP TODAY. THEIR MUSIC LITERALLY SAVED MY LIFE.

[MechaOutlinerNe]

Ironically, I think you should listen to this when you are sad... owo''

[rufinoman]

Wonderful stuff!

[SKHSirNicolas]

Man, 240p, can it get even better???

[purpleyurp]

fuck all you haters, this songs dope!

[Nimbelwimbel]

R.I.P REM

[CynicallyObnoxious]

@Nimbelwimbel I'll miss them as well but they gave us years of awesome tunes.

[azapro911]

I won't lie: I love a lot of REM songs, but this is a horrible one...yet...it's so...damn...catchy! Grrrrrrr!!!

[hussbalhas]

Michael Stipe said himself that he HATES this song...

Pleased to know that!!

[CaptainMarci104]

9 people are not shiny happy...

[TheSecretMonkeyClan]

How does such a beautiful, happy song make me cry?

[monkeyboy4746]

I always thought the song was like Devo's "Beautiful World", drippingly sweet with a darker connotation, a very sarcastic song. It reminds me of "The Prisoner" series and North Korea for some reason when I hear it.

[Jazzy459]

Every time I'm on the tube in London or in a crowd this song gets stuck in my head.

[SaraGillespieoX]

I find it funny how the top comments have absolutely nothing to do with the song :L

[triguenoable]

I LIKE THE SESAME  STREET VERSION OF IT...(FURRY HAPPY MONSTERS)...MORE THAN THIS ORIGINAL ONE XD LOL!!!!!!!!!

[raydfbr]

this song sucks, even REM hates it.

[alper3050]

@raydfbr hahahahahaha :D:D::D

[Danceintothelightnig]

@raydfbr What are you talking about ?

[TheLeoneoliver]

muito boa

[singingindark12]

9 dislikers are Shady Unhappy People.

[TonyBranston]

@singingindark12 No, they're just in denial about all of our new atrocities and are trying to go back to a time when this was the worst song in the history of ever.

[singingindark12]

@TonyBranston

you think this is the worst song ever? ;-)

[TonyBranston]

@singingindark12 Used to be anyway, I am to understand

[a0040pc]

A very happy song

[snarkus63]

Why is the "top comment" about vampires,homosexuals and vampires,none of which are elements of this song?

[roh1234]

BECAUSE THEY HAVE A VAGINA!!

[snarkus63]

@roh1234 I DID mention that the so-called "top comment" of this seems to be about vampires and homosexuals,NEITHER of which,unless there's some hidden lyric recorded at an inaudible level and/or cleverly disguised through some double entendre I'm not familiar with,are mentioned in this song,right?!?

[roh1234]

THEY SHOULD GO WALKABOUT SALLY



[StikManJones]

@snarkus63 the evil of twilight. 

[StikManJones]

[LucasFerrari12]

You have got spelling horrors

[TheSkuLLcomedyShow]

I brought myself here because i probably have questionable musical taste. :~/

[xDezoGurlx]

So, in 6th grade my teacher made a CD for us, because we were off to Middle school && this song was on the slideshow. <3 I cant forget Elementary School. <3 It makes me wanna cry everytime I hear this. :)

[Racefancrfn24]

[freedomiddleast]

[Bluebott1]

Am i the only one who was brought here by childhood memories of playing Donkey Konga ?

[SwordFighter62]
