R.E.M. - Crush With Eyeliner (Video)

[Crusader1089]

Sounds like the Dandy Warhols....

[PrimeMonthMay]

@Crusader1089 You know, it really does! I kind of noticed that about some of this album too.

[billyd28709]

Haha the look on his face at the 3:00 mark when the cop goes by is priceless.."oh shit 5-O " LOL

[Mineav]

@billyd28709 hahaha, good catch!

[AUS10TEX]

He needs a tiller for his japanese koi garden.

[AUS10TEX]

He's a John Deere man these days.

[RYISCO]

Saw them perform this on Top of the Pops on a BBC4 archive show yesterday - it was mental. Loads of Japanese kids and guys dressed up in bear costumes while the band did a wonderfully bad job at miming. Awesome!

[stude]

looks like we've got a burst shop.

[carloscssr]

Love R.E.M, but i have no fucking idea what this song is all about !!!!

[wullstat]

I could be your Frankenstein........

6 people who have never listed to real music before.

[seonfox]

I'm a sad tomato.

[eloisaanguiano]

I do have a crush with eyeliner. Anyone that wears it looks yummy yummy!

[aguferro]

I remember 1994: Saturday afternoon Playa Club Coruña (Spain) grunge session

[WalterSobchak1000]

Mike's bass never sounded better

[johnbrown53160]

very creative video loved it when it came out in the '90's

[AUS10TEX]

bill berry is on a tractor thinking "ingins everywhere"

[siamesebailey22]

@AUS10TEX is bill berry the garden guy?

[morsile]

@jaybelle101 haha my thoughts exactly(;

[billyd28709]

I am smitten!

[pikespice]

I always keep noticing the MK2 video game in the background... great 90s reference regardless of whether or not Spike Jonze meant for it to show up =)

[GlitterGaz]

Its not on the greatest hits!!! what the frequency's going on Mikey???

Sort it ahht!!!!!!!!

[joleluispc]

Podría estar escuchando este tema por horas o días, y no me aburriría. Estos tipos son genios. Esta es una de sus mejores canciones no comerciales. Gracias R.E.M.

[dammitpea]

This video gave 11-year-old me aspirations to be an Asian teenager when I grew up.

[billyd28709]

6 people are sad tomatos

[PeteTheChopp]

Thats Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore on backing vocals..."I'm the real thing"

[theamazingfanball]

don't know how this was overlooked for part lies part truth . . .

[GlitterGaz]

@theamazingfanball

too rite mate

[Vinck6]

This song would cure a bad nightmare

[bennuballbags2]

Such a groovy song! Love it!

[deafearzink]

My buddy's a sad tomatoe.

[ActionAimz]

I wore out this album in the 90s. I think it's REM's best, but like some have said, got overshadowed. It's just genius though.

[bennuballbags2]

@ActionAimz Me too!!!!!

[Ruijor]

Why does it says 2006 WMG if this song is from1994? Intrigued by this...

[000nonespecial]

This song came out in 1994, and it's been rattling around in my head from the past 17 years. Thanks for uploading it!!

[Gerowaits]

this is my kind of video; brought a little of r.e.m.'s mystique back after it was ironically hiroshima'd and nagasaki'd with green and out of time. Spike Jones wouldn't know how to make a bad video, even if he tried.

[KronnangDunn]

Dear GOD... I really really miss the nineties.... Even more after watching this... Music today is sooo... so safe... so predictable... This is awesome!

[sponsellerfd]

I love how each of us has our own favorite albums. Each decade has it's own style and groove!

[killins1000]

IT'S A SONG ABOUT COURTNEY LOVE

[DRosas71]

This was/is an instant R.E.M. classic. It's a shame they did not choose this on the definitive greatest hits album, but then again, that's why we use our mp3 libraries, right?

[fmjflor]

isn't it Lucy Liu in the beginning of this video?

[SuperRod88]

Happy Birthday Spike Jonze (October 22)

[CrazyAss140]

not included on R.E.M's best of album 82-11. very sad.

[CraigPhilipMyBeer]

@CrazyAss140 Yes, even though this was only a moderate hit. But what is really sad is not to include Bang and Blame one of their biggest and popular hits. Strange Currencies is a great song as well.

[stymie86]

I kept picturing the" Kill Bill" scene where all the heads get choped off!! Very beautiful!

[Nixter1974007]

Cheers guys for this magnificent masterpiece...Monster not a fave of some folk,but one of mine!!!

[Nixter1974007]

One of the best songs ever in the history of Rock....(alt)

[Nixter1974007]

Terrific song,from a terrific album.Monster takes me back to a great time in my life,as do other REM albums,outstanding album this......Gonna miss you guys!!!

[CultofJ]

I love the gal guitarist in this video!

[Aygo84]

I absolutely love this album. "Crush With Eyeliver" is now my ringtone.

[SCHENTH]

Monster is a great album.

The problem is that it was released after the masterpiece Automatic for the People.

[Nixter1974007]

@SCHENTH I digress

[manaora85]

why are they asians? can anyone help me to understand this?

[anacostia01]

@manaora85 One or both parents are asians... you know. Bees and flowers.

[TheAMENCHILD]

TOP CLASS ALBUM BUT THEN AGAIN I CANNOT THINK OF A BAD ALBUM THIS BAND MADE

[ronnogold]

Monster was and IS such a kick-ass cd. One of my favorites by ANY group of ALL time.

[Nixter1974007]

@ronnogold in total agreement to your comment...

[themooddisorders]

is remhq done on youtube?

[Seren99x]

sad tomatoes?

[ripelivejam]

the one playing stipe has his mannerisms down to a t lol

[ripelivejam]

love this video so much

[Nixter1974007]

I don't know how people can say this isn't a great album...In my personal opinion it's magnificent,and this is probably the best track on it.I also rate Strange Currencies.Overall,a terrific band,who will be sadly missed.Thanks Messrs Berry Buck,Mills and Stipe for leaving us with a super legacy!!!

[paulpaterson41]

Monster sounds more impressive everytime i listen to it, love this song

[hoers12345]

i really like the concept of the video... 

[Zendrix3]

Video = terrible

[bohemianbeagle]

RIP

[JoseAriel1408]

R.E.M. is dead. Long live R.E.M.!

[joseluisheadbanger74]

R.E.M we will miss you,one of the last real rock bands!!!!!!!!!

[mouse58756]

Love, love, love this song. Was never a huge REM fan, though I did like all the stuff I heard, for the most part, on the radio. Had a chance to see them live about 5 years ago or so and was blown away. Great live band - wish I had a chance to see them again. They seem like a band with a lot of character and integrity - not something we see all the time. Wish them well and thanks for 31 years of great music.

[zoofolk1]

Sad they broke up.......:-(

[lovelaj0149]

i never saw them live. what will I do the brake up of a band hasn't hit me this hard in so long.

[chchchamon]

@lovelaj0149 i saw them 5 times live and met mike and michael(totally friendly).good lord the best live band ever.im so sad.loved em since i was 12

[TheDamned999]

man I never saw them! huge regret. thanks for the memories

[Brokenstruggle]

This may just be the 90's teen in me but this is my favorite song off my favorite R.E.M. album. I can't get enough of it. It's kind of their ironic album and it's meant to be tongue in cheek, but this album is so fucking beast.

[aguferro]

Great song and great video. REM fantastic group. Thanks for your music.

[reverendjimj]

I like how even at the end the girl got the effect of bending the neck to get that distortion( she may have been promptd) but the video was cool , but did they really need to use a bunch of slant eyes

[northy31]

Slinky. Makes me want to wear more smudgy eyeliner.

[crashbreakerr]

this song is grunge, it's great!

[theachtungtree]

@crashbreakerr suposely...by the end of the automatic tour...Bill Berry told em something like: "you guys...we have to rock on the next albums...i'm getting bored"..hehe...wow...talking about rocking: HI FI and this one rocked the shit out of everything, so awesome. BTW RIP R.E.M...1980-2011 :s

[yummymayo]

i love this record. and videos were amazing back in the day... nostalgia indeed.

[nirvanafoo98]

only 155,193 views???? WTF???

[mramsey37]

this video cracks me up.....asians rules......

[ghostwriterinme5050]

Definitely one of the top three R.E.M. CD's and probably the best CD of that year.

I almost forgot how well asians get down and ROCK, Mike, Michael, Peter and you know who should be proud. : )

We should see much more videos like this of people just having fun and entertaining the masses. Just having fun that is what its all about right!

[ghostwriterinme5050]

Definitely one of the best of REM's CD's and probably the best CD of that year.

What do you think?

[bettypro]

this track has aged really well ,very classy ,well written distinct and quirky video too

[gjordan12198]

i use this song as a sleeping aid! Not that its boring, because its not. The guitar to me is soothing.

[nikiiskini]

@gjordan12198 indeed.

[kareninysimba]

REM has, from my humble point of view, the best music videos, as good or even better than their songs... a complete audio-visual master piece everytime

[gecko2gecko2]

REM at their best.

[originalcaptsalmon]

Monster rules

[godlike1975]

bought Monster in a charity shop the other day forgotten how good it was. 

[GAdawgsfan93]

These guys look like they played before the bride from Kill Bill sliced and diced the place.

[shaggythestewie]

5 people are out of eyeliner.

[moolikin]

5 people are sad tomatoes

[haupper]

They outsourced REM?

[valdomero738]

i want sexy yankee chicks

[jlennon2010]

i hate the commercials.... the video kicks rocks!!!!!

[gjordan12198]

Awesome video. I had to hit the back button, thought I had the wrong video :p

[JoseAriel1408]

"She's a sad tomato..." that is all that needs to be said. GOSPEL!

[brontotherium1]

This is the real R.E.M. Michael Stipe is just another Milli Vanilli.

[remaftp]

Prob the intended sound and vibe they wanted when they made Monster. Shame they couldn't make it work for more than 1 track.

[GAdawgsfan93]

Since when was Peter Buck a short-haired Asian girl?

[1953Johnmac]

REM ARE in the video...just WATCH it dudes ;-)

[radonfist]

My favourite REM album for sure

[professionalkillergk]

@ejthomp99 This is the video. Directed by Spike Jonze. Take it or leave it, fuck face

[ejthomp99]

@professionalkillergk I think I'll leave it

[professionalkillergk]

@ejthomp99 Racist asshole

[ejthomp99]

@professionalkillergk i'm just telling the truth!!!! music videos are suppose to have the band in them! not lip syncing gooks!

[professionalkillergk]

@ejthomp99

[professionalkillergk]

@ejthomp99 what if there were lip syncing blacks? or whites?

[ejthomp99]

@professionalkillergk The only thing I want to see are 4 white guys, members of a band named R.E.M.

[susienc919]

@ejthomp99 Yea this threw me off too, I was waiting to see them like in all of their videos

[chaserjamess]

Thurston Moore and R.E.M. together, aaawesome.

[sanforero79]

This music is from a great period in time when experimental music wanted to be pop and succeeded at it! Love it!

[beccasoo]

3 people don't get enough sleep.

[themooddisorders]

Keep in mind, the whole music world changed when Cobain passed away. I think Cobain would have loved this album. Too bad he never did work with REM.

This is a fine album

[eyebrowman1]

what a track! Sleazy yet subtle. Blows "What's the frequency Kenneth?" out of the water for me.

[jadedmoons]

2:47



[PrivateSchemers]

I didn't think much of Monster when it came out. Lately I've been rediscovering it, and I've come to appreciate it as one of the best R.E.M. albums.

[JoseAriel1408]

@PrivateSchemers My thoughts exactly. This album creeps up.

[txmomoftwo1]

@PrivateSchemers i actually just bought it and i love it.

[LiamBrightman]

deserves more views

[menswear2112]

This album changed my life in 1995...I wanted to be in a band!

[65tasty]

A nice song as Courtney Love!

[newBIGmedia]

"I am smitten" with this song and have been since it came out. It consistently makes me euphoric.

[ididcramsmom]

@newBIGmedia- You're not the only one... AMAZING album, from a much better time!!!

[puacino2]

I agree!

[lovelaj0149]

stipe in the background at 3:25

[JoseAriel1408]

What made this video work was having Stipe and co. in the background, slightly amused of the karoke/show. (Damn, I miss 120 minutes/Alternative Nation).

[JoseAriel1408]

@JoseAriel1408 *Karaoke 

[mka471]

p.s. this song is the shit!

[mka471]

GOD DAMNIT YOUTUBE I CAN'T STAND THE ADS ANYMORE! YOU ARE WHORISH HYPOCRITES, YOU ARE THE NEW MTV. WHAT YOU HAVE BECOME IS THE REASON THERE IS NO MORE NIRVANA.

[ultracheese]

@mka471 I...thought a shotgun was why there was no more Nirvana.

[judahwom]

@mka471 I agree!

[DarcMac]

That's not REM, so who the hell are these Japs??

[vitaemecha]

@DarcMac the guys they got to star in thier video obviously.

[DarcMac]

@vitaemecha Yes, I finally figured it out after a while. It just seemed so different, I thought it was a sham video. Thanks for the info!

[wendelkin]

I remember singing this as a child in the mirror with my moms mascara around my eyes. I though it was eye-liner!

[alisterfolson]

This reminds me of that movie by Sofia Coppola, "Lost in Translation."  Cool

[TyrelKatz]

This song is like Velvet Underground colliding with Placebo...

gotta love R.E.M

[trigga31]

Courtney Love thinks this is about her

[TwoPointsUp]

'I AM SMITTEN'- i cant relate to that!! Also: what position should i wear?? lol :o)

[venedenn1]

Love the line....she's a sad tomato

[knt3119]

Monster for the win....

[punkindhouse08]

Monster: one of the most underrated albums of the 90s

[Tubernaut]

@punkindhouse08 Their best post IRS effort.

[ididcramsmom]

@punkindhouse08- I want to give you one hell of a thumbs up, but don't want to ruin your 69 rating!! 90's FOREVER!!!

[TheVanarbulax]

@punkindhouse08 A thousand times yes! It just reeks of the entire feel of the time without actually sounding anything more than superficially like it. It's my favourite cerebral hyper-saturated camp grunge industrial disco album of all time!

[ViolettaMarmalade]

@punkindhouse08 Totally.

[themooddisorders]

@punkindhouse08 The single underrated album

[gam44es]

I'M THE REAL THING

[LeGronk]

Unfortunately this is the only REM song I've ever been able to get into and it's solely because of the guitar sound, I believe that's Thurston Moore appearing

[Reint25]

@LeGronk Surely you like What's The Frequency, Kenneth? too? And have you heard the Murmur album?

[MrNatsworthy]

100th Comment!!! Oriental R.E.M. is better then I imagined!

[brkcustoms]

looks like a fun video to be apart of

[sanforero79]

@brkcustoms yeah and it was directed by the great Spike Jonze!

[Ambulanceo]

Thurston are REM are both the greatest things ever

[chiefashley56]

LOVE THE CRUNCHY GUITAR! HOW COULD YOU NOT?

[0yourS0superfly]

love this frkn song!......its been to long!

[AngelVomit26]

Mandy Loves This Song With A Passion

[layla77uk]

Thurston Moore has the sexiest voice...grrrrrrrrr

[witchman67]

@layla77uk thurston moore is the lead singer for Sonic Youth, not R.E.M.

That would be Michael Stipe.

[Koettnylle]

@witchman67 Moore sings backup on this song. At around 2:57 for instance.

[layla77uk]

@witchman67 I know...I am a huge Sonic Youth fan. That's why I know that Thuston Moore is the one doing the talking bits in the chorus....look it up.

[combatgirl38]

Great job on this! Super awesome!

[maseratiquattroport]

hahahahaha.... we got chinks in this video. ahhahaha

[Kerri36982]

@maseratiquattroport Actually they are Americans with Japanese parents

[maseratiquattroport]

@Kerri36982

good to know that your on crack.

[maseratiquattroport]

@Codelyokofanatic319 '

[Joshmanbran]
