  • This song is just silliness. It's not very good lyrically, but it has a certain charm.

  • It's a pop song...'nuff said.

  • Yeah, MS's voice is one-of-a-kind, deep, strong and haunting, but MM's voice makes me happy, it's got a sweet quality. Wished he'd sung lead maybe once per album.

  • This music was used for the ending theme to a CSI:NY episode. And in this context it is very moving & emotional. It's Det. Flack & other NYPD officer in pursuit & capturing A bad guy, then shifts to the lab, where the CSI crew is analyzing data & collecting evidence. And I thought that was really cool, the Episode is called "Superheroes" , It affected me so much that I found tears rolling down my face!! Thank you REM & Thank you CSI:NY for creating for me a priceless memory.

  • REM has always been intellectual nerd rock. Them nor any of their songs were ever "cool", but always entertaining in it's own way. A guilty pleasure.

  • @harvestdanny I was there too.

  • @harvestdanny I was there too.

  • everytime I look up a sweet early live REM song it's in my hometown two years before I was born.

  • Wait. Neither of these guys sang lead on the original recordings. Mills sang lead for REM and Randy Shaw sang lead on the B side of Sugar on Sunday for the Clique.

  • hehe he puts his arms up like superman :P then he nearly misses one and does it real quick. <3 rem <3

  • I was in second row center for this show. We hung out with REM and Camper van Beethoven after the show. Amazing. I've never seen them since because I know the show would never measure up to this one.
