Love this album. A classic from my early teenage years when all my mates were into their happy hardcore rave shite. I was listening to REM, Genesis, Nirvana, EMF and Carter USM
I love the wandering nature of the melody. It's conversational and emotional at the same time. Like someone trying to yell some important instructions as they are being dragged away.
Not surprised you like Michael Stipe, given how much you like Gord Downie HA! I wrote this before you said it!!!! Re the lyric: Try to jam, “Call me whenyoutrytowakeherup” into the same space as “Call me jawbreaker”
I always love your REM reactions. They’re my favorite band, and you appreciate so much of what’s great about them.
I haven't listened to this album in well over a decade, but that didn't prevent me from signing along with every word of this song.
Such catchy tunes!

REM never missed. Michael has the voice of an angel. Melodies, musicians, all fire!!!
Millions of great song for you to enjoy.
Try Everybody hurts.

The song is a homage to “The Lion Sleeps Tonight” hence the title and why Michael Stipe opens with the “He He He He He” 🦁🎵👌🏻
Yeah this brings back lots of memories
More REM is always good
