I don't like this much.

Full-on Stipe.

Strains my nerves.

I've no idea what it's about.

It's apparently part of the sign of the Sinbad Motel in Miami, which appears to be a lie as the old pictures all show a seagull on the stick bit




It looks more like a Sputnik sign.

Whatever that is.

Where's ButtonZ?

Ooh, I know this one!

I remember it being better than this.

He's been researching hotel signs.

Oh, looking up the cover image several minutes after I did.

"A can of beans, some black-eyed peas."

Did Stipe just sing "the cat in the hat came back"?

It's gone into another song half way through!

I dislike this bigly.

Yes he did. I think the song might be about looking after children.

Track 4 - Everybody Hurts.

Oh no.

I've never been fussed either way about this one.

it's a bit background music this, if actually listen to it, there's nothing happening but it sounds fine if you just let trundle along in the background.

Everybody may be hurting, but as long as this song is playing I'm in just that bit more pain than everyone else.

This is like the dark negative of Happy Shiny People.

But just as awful.

Stipe has such an horrid voice.

Worse than Simon Le Bon.
