The numerous UNSUCCESSFUL attempts of bands to cover this frustratingly evasive lyric proves that Syd Barrett was meticulously 'exact' in crafting a melody. He wasn't just 'writing music'. He was carefully constructing original theory oriented modern compositions. They don't flow in a usual way and yet they're suberbly musical. They are so nuanced that you can't just listen to them a few times and be able to sing them to yourself later on. In short, he was a compositional genius.

How dare you...REM, means only to pay the greatest of respect to Syd Barrett, you IDIOTS!!@! What an amazing cover he did too...!!!!!!!!!!!

The people attacking this cover amuse me. The guys in REM are obviously reverent of the material, and Michael certainly give this song it's best vocal version ever. Just because you don't like the band covering the song, doesn't mean they didn't do a great job.

Yeah, that is pretty ridiculous. Just about every music video on here is authorised. If they're planning on removing sound from every one of them, good luck.

Pussy Willow who Smile HONESTLY - Not- "On my Sleeve". They also left out an entire verse. Horrible cover.
"My HEAD kissed the ground , I was half the way down, treading the sand.not- "Strumming" the sand
REM obviously sees Barrett as a lame joke.
