R.E.M. - Stand

submitted by Zifnab

1 decade 7 years 2 months ago

"Stand" is a song by R.E.M. released as the first single from Green in 1989. The song quickly rose up the charts, peaking at #6 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming R.E.M.'s second top 10 hit in the United States. Only Losing My Religion, which reached #4 in 1991, has been a bigger pop hit in the U.S. for the band. The song reached #48 on the UK Singles Charts, becoming what was then R.E.M.'s biggest hit in the United Kingdom. (Thanks Wikipedia)

Insipid. Makes me think of the Dennis Leary bit " I want the shiny people over here, and the happy people over there, because I represent the angry shotgun toting meat eating people" Ooh someone post that. I'm an a$$hole?"

You can find Denis Leary's Asshole here:

Thanks, Zinfab. That song is awesome but unfortunately it doesn't have the line in it I was thinking of.
