  • I'm not certain where I got this from but I noticed it amidst some other B-sides in my iTunes. I thought it was fun so I had to share.
    Love that R.E.M.

    They played a gig at the Rat in Kenmore Sq. Boston under an assumed name and only did covers and this was one of them.... it was good. Michael Stipe sitting at a small table in a dim bar.... They played under dark blue and green lights only and with Husker Du. Glad I was there.

      Stacey Coyne yeah.... the sound guy at the Rat - Granny - was the sound guy for my room mates band, the Rods & Cones. Used to be in the Rat all the time, but then again Kenmore Sq. was home as I was a BU student....!

    How the hell did I not know they sang this? I was just jamming out to their 90's stuff and saw an article about Sidewinder Sleeps Tonight, and that REM paid them to use just the referefnce to their song. In the 90's plenty of "artists" were stealing entire songs and not paying a dime. Part of the deal was that REM had to record Lion Sleeps Tonight. I love REM, I'm just astonished this got past me. Better late than never. I used to have a recording of Sting singing the song from the Flintstones on my answering machine. Ah, the 90's, you were a great decade.

    Sorry guys, this song is beautiful but it's awful for kids education.
    First of all the lion don't live in the jungle, but on the savana... and no, it's not at all the same thing.
    Other thing, more important, LIONS DON'T SLEEP AT NIGHT, THEY HUNT AT NIGHT.. they sleeps on the day.
    Stop talking about a part of the world you don't know, you don't live in and that doesn't correspond to you. Stay where you don't want inmigrants come, in other words in your land.
    And stop creating songs with bullshit lyrics.
    Sorry... the true!

    • @baste511

      Let's just say the lion got lost and died in the jungle.. but to keep the poetry, they used a simple euphemism while writing the song. Nah seriously, kids will get over it. x)

      What a weird train of thought.
      Kids will learn at a young age in school that lions live in the savana, this knowledge will supplant the wrong message of this song. You can't accord more credit to this when you're a child.

    • @MaxwelldeAraujoRodrigues
      @MaxwelldeAraujoRodrigues 7 років тому +1

      for me it's just another stupid manifest (as a song) of anglo american culture that don't know shit about the world and want to talk about it.
      It's normal to see things like that.. they think that every stone over othr is a calendar, that every male animal doing anything is fucking dance... bla bla bla... They don't know shit and say such amount of stupidity...
      Like movies saying Pyramids was builded by slaves... that Colombo discovered the america..
      It's so many shit man........
      Kids of the future will surely say "how could they be so overated and stupid for so long?"
      I have the answer... anglo americans don't behave well with criticism.. they are spoiled.. so they learn wrong once and they never learn correct again. Chicks.
      They missunderstood be competitive with being a bad loser.
      Shameful people with no grace.

    • @baste511
      @baste511 7 років тому +1

      You're blaming a side of the Mandela Effect. + I don't see how you can generalize this, anglo americans are millions of people and idiots are everywhere on the world map. Maybe there's a propensity for kind of patriotic country such as the USA to be a bit stubborn when talking about acquired knowledge but a lot of them know how to question it. It's all about culture and education, and saying that every anglo americans can't behave well and are stupid af is wrong and shows so much hate. You won't solve any problem tthinking like that.
