Check out REM's "Man on the Moon". The song “Man On The Moon” had nothing at all to do with the escapades of Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins. Instead it was written as an affectionate tribute to the late actor, comedian and performance artist, Andy Kaufman.

It's a song about just being fed up with the entirety of reality as a whole. ALL the bullshit... completely... and just wanting to walk away from the whole damned world. Its not the "End of the World"... its "The End of the World AS WE KNOW IT." In other words, its the moment that people walk away from the crap that has made up their life to that point... the things they "thought" were important, but meant nothing and did nothing to make them happy. "Its time I had some time alone...." is the giveaway lyric on this one.

It was in reference to the changing new times of the resort city when the smaller, old places were being torn down to be replaced with the new Mega resorts. It went from having the small town everyone knew everyone place to a world of corporate entrepreneurs that catered mostly to the rich.

Getting out of the wall street area on 9/11 I had "it's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine" as a loop in my head. So sad for all the loss. Glad I got out ok

Manic street preachers’ design for life is a fantastic tune. They are a welsh band and were huge in the uk in the late 90’s. Stereophonics are another great welsh band and Dakota is my favourite ‘phonics song. Check them both out.

Don't worry if you don't know the words, Michael Stipe had to read the lyrics whenever they performed this live. Please listen to Try Not to Breath, So.Central Rain, Crush with Eyeliner, Fall on Me, Country Feedback or At my Most Beautiful. They show just some of their range of music but I could recommend dozens more.

As far as I know, this is the only song that mentions Leonard Bernstein, Leonid Brezhnev, Lenny Bruce and Lester Bangs all in one song, and in a row (and Lenny Bruce also gets mentioned in the first verse).

It's written in debate form - throwing everything they can think of at the wall as fast as they can to see what sticks, and ultimately nothing sticks and it doesn't mean a thing. Total chaos, just stand back and laugh and you'll feel fine.

The dog in the video came out of nowhere. It just walked into the house and they went with it.
