When R.E.M. (who were supposedly named by pointing randomly into a dictionary and not after “Rapid Eye Movement”, and who up until then had a persistent but smallish fan base on college radio stations) released their single for “Losing My Religion” it became a huge international success with heavy rotations both on radio stations all over the world as well as on MTV. The accompanying video was nominated for a whopping nine video awards of the year and went on to win six of them, including “Video of the Year”.

All of which is of course impressive, but does not explain to me why they couldn’t just use the loo. Misheard lyrics can do that to you.

Here we are now, in containers. Hold me closer, Tony Danza.
