[@Dizzymeflie]

Lovely !!

[@LTF6161]

It almost sounds live

[@TheDrOctopus]

Brilliant song, 10/10

[@stoonybridge]

Taking the lyrics out of the chorus was a brilliant idea.

[@BloodBathFenix]

♥Orange Crush♥

[@DerAlmighty]

One of their best songs, but Stipe still won't say what the actual lyrics from the LP version are. Mysterious, huh?

[@icanfly303]

this was probably recorded in direct to two track recording style which is just recording the entire band playing instead of recording each member alone and then putting them together. The other style is much better quality

[@moonrakermack]

On the "Green" CD

[@wotasod]

its called multi tracking go to a R E M gig and this is done to a (tape)

[@preziosestelle7368]

offensive wtf!?

[@nefhead]

Who givesa rats ass whether this song is about agent orange or dogshit, its just a great song , probably their best 'end of story"

[@pelagic6]

I got my (spine) sprite, I got my orange crush

[@colarisaka]

it's not about agent orange. "Orange Crush" was a football team. But it is about Vietnam and Agressive Militarism.

[@hollywoodartchick]

Some live videos here are OK, but I don't see why it is worth posting a song that has a dozen other bad videos online if yours also bites.

[@walshplpeldenznp2199]

meh good tune but the singings quite annoying where they keep talking over each other
I got my (spine) sprite, I got my orange crush

[@LTF6161]

Maybe better quality, but it lacks immediacy and intimacy of this version.

[@invadingnimrod]

well there not realy talking over each other its during the sortof echoed bits i just that annoying but my personal opinion and anyone else can think what they like

[@invadingnimrod]

[@LTF6161]

Stipe is a talented vocalist (& something of a jerk imo) but there is far more to REM than Stipe.
