this song irritated me when it was new and irritates me even more now...somehow, REM ends up in the same stack of irritating goo as Counting Crows for me. Perhaps it's MY problem, but I hope it goes away soon

I like REM just fine thank you - I feel obligated to post since the ratings for REM in general are high, but the postings are so negative. Maybe I should just let them rant...  |

REM's music has not weathered the test of time IMHO.

Not a huge fan of REM. Bought this CD for this song. STILL like the song, but don't like REM.
And yeah, it was sure overplayed in it's day. I'm glad Bill still plays it now and again.

Mmm hmm. Time to refill that Xanax script I wrote you way back when. Does wonders. |

Too simple! Too boring! I hate this song more every time I hear it.
I can usually tune out on a song I don't care for, but not with REM. It's so bad, I feel compelled to complain.
Sorry to those who like them.
