When R.E.M. released "Shiny Happy People" in 1991, a lot of fans did not know what to think. The band was mostly known for moodier alternative rock, so this bright, bubbly pop song caught people completely off guard. Adding to the energy was The B-52s singer Kate Pierson, whose vocals helped give the song that unforgettable playful sound. Ironically, the band was reportedly hesitant about the song’s bubblegum vibe, and Michael Stipe later admitted he was uncomfortable with how cheerful and commercial it sounded. Seriously? Meanwhile, it became one of their biggest hits anyway. Do you love "Shiny Happy People" or skip it every time it comes on?
