I've had this tape (yes...tape lol) for well over 20 years. Still going strong, and my favorite R.E.M. tunes ever.

Considering the state the band were in when they recorded this, Peter's guitar playing still sounds pretty decent, even if he and Mike are struggling to arrive in the same key!

@mitsou50 they were just having fun. I think Roger Miller would have had enough of a sense of humor to have liked it. Not to mention the royalty checks.

All you people whining are obviously not--nor have you ever hung out with--musicians. For a couple of guys drinking and "playing around" in a studio with an old song, this is pretty phenomenal--and I'm not even an REM fan. I just like the song.

you can hear Mills calling out the letter of the cords in the back ground. Just a way to blow off some steam during long stretches in the recording studio..

I hope Roger Miller got to hear this version. I bet he would have gotten a good chuckle out of this.
