R.E.M. Lyric Annotations
Do  you ever wonder what the heck Michael Stipe is singing about? If there's a specific word, phrase, or name mentioned in an R.E.M. song that you'd like to know more about, you've come to the right place. Culled from various sources, including interviews with band members, this site offers everything from translations of foreign languages to Biblical references (sometimes in the same song). Learn where Rockville is, who Monty was, and what an E-Bow is. "Katie bars the kitchen?" It's an old Southern saying. While "opie mouth" may refer to The Andy Griffith Show, an open mouth, or opium, or all of these combined. Get the band's take on the recent political history of Guatemala and El Salvador. Just don't ask what's the frequency, Kenneth. (in Rock and Pop) |
