Like the great bands do REM let their music do the talking, couldn't be further away from the fame /wealth seeking zeros that have unfortunately been created in the last 20 odd years, an absolute fine band that deserves all the praise plaudits and respect which always had and will be given to them, they ain't no copycats.

REM are one of the best brands in the world. 50 years of great music.
Thanks guys ❤

[watcoh]

One of their most psychedelic songs, and it's literally about a bad trip. Perfection.

[xrayrobert]

Micheal knows how to move, and I love him.

[PYanNik]

My absolute favorite REM song, I catch myself coming back to it every now and then :)))

[delboy]

20 years old already. Who else bought up the day it was released? Classic album & under rated.

[REMChicagoBoy]

This song is easily one of their best ever. Period. 

[Astrid-cf]

My favorite REM'song. One of the best decidion I made, see them in concert on 2005. Unforgettable.

[matthewbrown]

This song is so gleefully psychotic. Always a fave.

[roccocasciani]

My dad used to put this on every sunday morning. Guess I'll be forever attached to this song. Puts me in a good mood and makes me nostalgic at the same time :)

[Nahimmaskipthis]

I don’t know why I do remember this song after 25 years. It was really one of my favourite. Greetings from Baku to everyone

Lyrics
Hey hey
It was hell
Sarcastic silver swell.
That day it rained
Tough spun, hard won, no
Ocean flower aquarium
Badlands, give a hand.

Honey dipt, flim flam
Hey hey. hey hey.
That cat can walk like a big bad man.
So happy to show us
I ate the lotus.
Say haven't you noticed?
I ate the lotus
Storefront window I reflect.
Just last week I was merely heck
Tip the scale, I was hell
Picked me up then I fell.

Who's this stranger? crowbar spine
...And I feel fine.

Let it rain, rain, rain
Bring my happy back again.
So happy to show us
I ate the lotus.
Say haven't you noticed?
I ate the lotusI ate the lotus

Let it rain, rain, rain
Save me from myself again
Wash away my ugly sins
Opposing thumb, dorsal fin

That monkey died for my grin
Bring my happy back again
Let it rain, rain, rain
Bring my happy back again
So happy to show us
I ate the lotus.
Say haven't you noticed?

I ate the lotus
I ate the lotus
I ate the lotus

90's: the decade of epic music. bring my happy back again....

[firestarter]

I think its one of the most underrated REM songs. I love it.

[Bram]

I remember like the day of yesterday this was MTV Fresh, or like, a brand brand new song back in the day! God, do I miss MTV as a MUSIC channel! :'(

[gpeddino]

There's something so beautiful about the line "ocean flower aquarium" but I don't really know why.

[Jenali]

I'm gonna miss this band so much. They got me through my adolescence and early adulthood. when their individual solo works come out, I'll be the first in line to buy.

[ColorsBright]

The guitar riff in this song is so unique and awesome... its orgasmic!

[dez]

VERY underrated R.E.M. album. Very internal. Quite a bit of pain in this one. Bill's exiting hit them hard.

[teraskoog]

One of my favorite REM songs. Truly beautiful and it means something different to everyone I know who has read the lyrics..
