First time I listened to Murmur, on vinyl, back in about 1984 I think it was ... I was grooving to it through the preceding 7 or so songs ... was going ... this is good, I think I like these guys ... then this one came on ... and I played it like 4 times in a row.

Still one o' my top 10 all time fave REM tunes.

It's probably the ultimate/most classic example of 'Michael Mumbling Unintelligible Lyrics' ever.
