  • Kate was a perfect choice on this song. Great song and performance.

  • I beg to disagree, REM made the right move in getting her for this song. She made it more groovy! I love music from REM and B52s! Rock on! :D

  • The show F-r-i-e-n-d-s original theme song was "Shiny Happy People" by R.E.M., but was changed later on to "I'll Be There For You" by The Rembrandts. -- IMDb Trivia: Friends (1994 TV series)

  • @catkisser I was in a band with my brother and cousins from 1993-2008 and this was one of the songs we did. My brother played piano and sang lead on this while I of course sang Kate's part and played bass. Our name was Eponymous, alhtough we were not an R.E.M. tribute band. We did, however, have a lot of R.E.M. songs in our repetoire and this one was in from beginning to end.

    I was 16 when the band fromed and "Shiny Happy People" was the very first song my bro and I learned together.

  • QUE GRANDES

  • @jake110118 wow, i didnt know that, i haent seen the movie

  • for some reason this song represents a pre 9/11 america to me, idk why, i guess the whole idea of happy people

  • I love Kate in this song. I would love to do her part in an REM tribute band. Also, does anyone else think that Michael looked a tiny bit like Tom Hanks with that hair??

  • 19 people are not happy
