(Follow me, don't follow me)
I've got my spine, I've got my orange crush
(Collar me, don't collar me)
I've got my spine, I've got my orange crush
(We are agents of the free)
I've had my fun and now it's time to serve your conscience overseas
(Over me, not over me)
Coming in fast, over me (oh, oh)

(Follow me, don't follow me)
I've got my spine, I've got my orange crush
(Collar me, don't collar me)

I've had my fun and now it's time to serve your conscience overseas
(Over me, not over me)
Coming in fast, over me (oh, oh)

High on the booze
In a tent
Paved with blood
Nine inch howl
Brave the night
Chopper comin' in, you hope

We would circle and we'd circle and we'd circle to stop and consider and centered on the pavement stacked up all the trucks jacked up and our wheels in slush and orange crush in pocket and all this here county, hell, any county, it's just like heaven here, and I was remembering and I was just in a different county and all then this whirlybird that I headed for I had my goggles pulled off; I knew it all, I knew every back road and every truck stop

(Follow me, don't follow me)
I've got my spine, I've got my orange crush
(Collar me, don't collar me)
I've got my spine, I've got my orange crush
(We are agents of the free)
I've had my fun and now it's time to serve your conscience overseas

Apocalypse Now
We were on Kibbutz in late 1987 when Q Magazine issued their famous cover asking whether R.E.M. were the greatest band in the world or somesuch. I had never heard of them. Someone bought the album and this was the first track of theirs I ever heard. Game changing.

I've been listening to RP for over 17 years and happily contribute $15.00  a month. Well wortb it and as bam23 mentioned "a good deal" 
Word is that Michael Stipe wrote this song as homage to his father being in Vietnam and witnessing agent orange being dumped  by the US.
Not a bad song, but marked the end of my love affair with that once gritty ethereal manic jam that was REM
quite the lyrical masterpiece
weird, just finished playing Green on my record player and then switched to RP.

first bought this in 1988 on mini CD single! remember those?
Incredible song and no room on here for homophobic slurs.
decent song but not good enough to get into my Favorites.
Not a single day without R.E.M.
Had that too much in my life.
Skip.

Thank you for the reminder. I just joined last month and I need to make it a habit of donating and supporting great music. Thank you RP for keeping me company in my bedroom and sounding great on a repurposed Denon AVR X4000 that a friend just about gave me and some KEF Reference speakers. I love discovering new artists and being reminded about some great bands from my 50+ listening career.

Gibberish. 

Would have been a great song with an actual really good lyric if they sat down together to write it instead of this silly word salad written by one of them on a plane after a 7th Baileys.
My favourite band for a good while in my life. Don't think they ever approached these heights again.

Saw them first and only time on the Green tour - this song had Stipe with his megaphone and 'playing' percussion on an old metal school chair {#Cool}

At least I think was both on this song -it was 30+ years ago so maybe not both after all {#Embarassed}
that's barbaric ! what sick twisted mind would drink Crush from a can??                              danmc wrote:

I always debate amongst myself whether this is their best album.  Or Document.  Or Reckoning. Dang it.
REM, how I miss thee. And this tune is one of my top faves.

This song rocks. Love it! When REM was on, they were as good as any rock band out there.

We certainly gave them a lot of Agent Orange at the expense of "Our"
boys (and theirs). Hence the song... which you seem to have missed the
point of.
1988. Man, I was newly licensed to drive, and would pick up my buddy Kim, and she had this brand new on cassette. Driving around listening to this and Led Zeppelin II, what a time it was.   OK, I'll stop with the old man reminiscing.  
Bellissima....  
Loved so much REM since first album !!!! Thanks for all superb album !!!
I've heard these early R.E.M songs countless times but I still don't know the lyrics (which I suppose was part of their mystique). But those spoken lyrics in the middle break (2:20 in) are a little off here. Someone listened to an isolated track (from the "Rock Band" video game) and transcribed it much more closely, which I found pretty interesting:

"We would circle, and we circled and circled the shopping center, centering on the pavement’s jacked up, all the trucks jacked up, and our wheels slush and orange crush and cock of the walk...in this here county. Hell in three counties in the tri county area and I was a legend. I was the king of the county. All these girls...sit. Whirlybirds. I had it whooped. I had this life whooped. I knew it all! I knew every back road and every Friday night we would ... down ... path."

Is this song about the 1977 superbowl victory of the Dallas Cowboys over the Denver Broncos?
 
I recall that the corporate owners of the Nehi - Orange Crush trade mark squashed the use of "Orange Crush" referring to the Broncos defense.
The soda never seemed as popular to me as the Orange Crush Defense. 
Seems they would have benefited from co-branding rather than blocking usage of the trade mark.
Green will always have a special place in my record collection.

But you gotta make your voice so low and gravelly it hurts...
I just love R.E.M.'s chiming guitars, edgy vocals, and obscure lyrics. For me, hearing this will always remind me of jamming to it LOUD in my place in Yoshida-cho, Shizuoka, Japan, where I lived '88-90. I lived next to ponds where unagi were raised. I had biwa and ichijiku in front, ichigo and mikan in back, and if I climbed up onto the roof, I could see Suruga-wan and Fuji-san...
I love this because it's almost possible to sing along to without sounding like a lunatic.

REM will never go out of fashion on my stereo!


I saw R.E.M. live a few years ago in the Belfast Giants Ice Hockey arena and they played this song.  We were lucky in that the tickets we got were seats close to and just to the right of the stage.  

We had a great close up view of the band and Michael Stipe had a real charismatic presence.

The show was near the end of their career but you could tell straight away that they were the 'real deal' - a properly professional performance with mastery of their music.

The set they played, sounded to my ears anyway, very close to the recorded versions I had known by heart on their CD's.

I know that R.E.M. are no longer considered fashionable but some of their songs, including this one, stand the test of time.
This follows R.E.M. - World Leader Pretend on Radio Paradise. Can't say I've ever heard Bill play original work by the same artist back to back! 
That's Fun - I don't hear many Double-Shots on RP

Still, it's a reasonable ditty. 
I have always loved how this track sounds--the melody, that awesome lead guitar--but the lyrics......(cringes).


3/5/13—PRESS RELEASE: 25th Anniversary Deluxe Edition Of The Band’s Major-Label Breakthrough Includes Original Album Remastered And Live Disc Spotlighting The Penultimate Show Of 1989 World Tour; Available May 14 From Rhino
Green Remastered Will Also Be Available On 180-Gram Vinyl The Same Day
Five Song Live In Greensboro EP Will Be Released On CD As Record Store Day Exclusive On April 20

R.E.M. achieved global success with the 1988 release of GREEN, the Athens, Georgia, quartet’s sixth studio album and first for Warner Bros. Records, which would be the band’s label home for the rest of their recording career. While R.E.M. was fast becoming one of the most acclaimed and revered acts in the U.S., GREEN was their first album to gain the attention of a worldwide audience. Packed with tracks destined to be definitive additions to the band’s canon, including “Orange Crush,” “Pop Song 89,” and “Stand,” GREEN was certified double platinum by the RIAA and doubled the domestic sales of the band’s previous release. GREEN continued R.E.M.’s dedication to the message of social consciousness, as evidenced by the album’s title, which would go on to became a ubiquitous buzzword for environmentally friendly initiatives.

To celebrate the landmark album’s 25-year anniversary, Rhino is releasing a two-disc deluxe edition that features the remastered original album accompanied by a disc of live performances taken from the penultimate show of R.E.M.’s 130-date Green World Tour. All 21 songs were recorded in Greensboro, North Carolina, on November 10, 1989, just miles from where Michael Stipe, Peter Buck, Mike Mills and Bill Berry had their very first recording session at Mitch Easter’s Drive-In Studio in Winston-Salem.
The anniversary set is packaged in a hard clamshell box (similar to previous R.E.M. reissues) and comes with four postcards and a foldout poster, plus insightful liner notes by Uncut editor, Allan Jones. GREEN: 25TH ANNIVERSARY DELUXE EDITION will be available on May 14 as a 2-disc set and digitally. The same day, the remastered album with original art and packaging will also be available on 180-gram vinyl.

In anticipation of the anniversary set, Rhino will release a limited edition, five-track EP as part of Record Store Day. This exclusive CD features a handful of performances from the Greensboro show that, due to space constraints, are not found on the Deluxe Edition, including the Green track “I Remember California” and classics like “So. Central Rain” and “Feeling Gravitys Pull.” Limited to just 2,500 copies, the disc comes with an original (non-reproduction) patch from the Green Tour. These patches were recently uncovered in the band’s vault. The LIVE IN GREENSBORO EP will be available for Record Store Day on April 20 for $7.98. For a list of participating stores, please visit wrecordstoreday.com.

The concert spread across the anniversary set and the Record Store Day EP captures a fiery set from R.E.M., which had been forged in the crucible of nearly one year of shows. R.E.M. performed most of GREEN (“Get Up” “World Leader Pretend” and “You Are The Everything”), while mixing in early favorites like “Fall On Me,” “Finest Worksong,” “The One I Love” and “Perfect Circle” from the band’s 1983 debut Murmur. The show also finds the band testing out new songs (“Low” and “Belong”) that would appear two years later on GREEN’s follow-up, Out Of Time.

I like tunes like this that I've listened to a zillion times and haven't rated yet.  It makes me glad I never had to serve our country, I guess.
R.E.M - Green.  The first album I bought that was not a compilation.  This album marks the birth of my ongoing love affair with music.  I'd give it about 26/10 if I could and even more if it had been World Leader Pretend from the same album.
HOW GOOD TO HEAR THIS SONG AGAIN !

Funny story. My old band used to do this song, and during the long bridge I (on bass) would generally relax while the guitarists did their thing. Well, one night we're feeling pretty good and this one's cooking, so we let the bridge stretch out a little. The drummer's up on a riser and can't figure out when exactly we're going to come out of the bridge. So the three of us are standing in front just playing when we hear the drummer's very loud rat-a-tat-tat—he'd just decided to end the bridge, and the three of us run like maniacs to the microphones to pick up the next verse. After it ends, we just look at him, and he sez, "I didn't know what the fuck y'all were doing down there, so I decided it was time to move on."
I recall this song as a big breakthrough for these boys in the charts, especially in the UK, and the 'Green' tour was their last where you could still see them in a 3000 seater venue

Can u believe it? this song was voted worst song of the year many years ago. I think it is one of REM's best songs. Luv it!!!!
This was my first introduction to R.E.M. after Q Magazine declared them the greatest band in the world circa 1988. What a great album.

Well Mr Fixit, 

Hard to read your comments & keep it together. Glad you made it through. And yet, here we are again. Hard to believe how little the big boys ever learn. ANd how quickly they forget.

"Coming in fast" seems to refer to the C123 and C130 aircraft which sprayed the shit at low levels. We usually saw them and pulled out our ponchos (rubberized rain cape) over us . unless, of course, there was somebody out there watching for us to pull the capes and then start their shit. The wop wop wop noise towards the end sounds like the unique sound of the UH1E Huey helicopter. That sound will give ANY Vietnam Vet flashbacks, to be sure. There's no equivalent all-encompassing fear, hate, loathing, terror, tragedy, delight, thankfulness, last living sound, to compare with the wop wop wop of the Huey. Sorry gang, I do go on. Suffice it to say that the lickspittle scum bureaucrats at the Veterans Administration have done their best to deny benefits to hundreds of thousands of us who were exposed and still have the after effects. Children, too, with various birth defects, spinal bifida and so forth. Damned if that song didn't get me cranked up ... Happy New Year Robert MacNamara and all of your little men, next time you can fight your OWN little war in Veetnam ....


 

Oh yea, cranked this one!! Love the R.E.M. Well, the older REM. :)

"I got my orange crush" refers to agent orange, a toxic chemical first used in the Viet Nam war. (click here) I'm not really sure if this is a protest song, considering it was written a good 15 or 20 years after that war ended. But there was a problem with veterans receiving benefits from the US gov't b/c of neurological problems with being exposed to agent orange. That may have been topical in the news when Stipes et al wrote this song.

We had great time in the 90 at univertisy with REM !
So I've heard that background before, the army chanting. I know it was in a Type-O-Negative song too (which cracks me up that them and REM both used it). Is it from a movie too? I'm going to guess it's a Full Metal Jacket thing?
