Blurb:
"Shiny Happy People" is a song by the band R.E.M. It appeared on their 1991 album Out of Time and was released as a single in the same year. The song features guest backing vocals by Kate Pierson of the B-52's.
It peaked at #10 on the Billboard Hot 100, the fourth and final R.E.M. single to reach the top 10 on the chart. It also peaked at #6 on the UK Singles Chart, becoming the first R.E.M. song to reach the top ten in the UK and the only to reach the top ten in both countries.
Although a top ten hit, it was excluded from the band's 2003 'Best Of' album In Time; this was reportedly a deliberate decision by Michael Stipe, who once mentioned his dislike of the song in an episode of Space Ghost Coast To Coast.
The band performed it on Sesame Street, during the 1998/1999 season, under the title "Furry Happy Monsters". The female vocal was performed by Stephanie D'Abruzzo of Avenue Q fame. New lyrics were written by Sesame Street writer Christopher Cerf. Some of the lyrics included: "Monsters having fun, happy, happy, See them jump and run, happy, happy, Laughing all the while, cheerful, cheerful, Flashing a big smile, that's a perfect sign That they're feelin' fine! Furry happy monsters feeling glad!"
