It appeared on their 1991 album Out of Time, and was released as a single in the same year. The song features guest vocals by Kate Pierson of the B-52's, who also appears in the song's music video. The song peaked at No. 10 on the Billboard Hot 100, the fourth and last R.E.M. single to reach the top 10 on the chart. It also peaked at No. 6 on the UK Singles Chart, becoming the first R.E.M. song to reach the top 10 in the UK and the only one to reach the top 10 in both countries. The song is the band's most successful hit in Ireland, where it reached No. 2, and in Germany, where it peaked at No. 10. The band performed the song with Pierson on Saturday Night Live on April 13, 1991.[1] It was first released as a single in May 1991 in the UK, but did not go on sale in the U.S. until four months later. It was used as the theme song to the unaired pilot for the sitcom Friends, known at that time as Friends Like Us. It was used in episode 10 in the first season of the series called "The One with the Monkey". Despite the song's success, band members were ambivalent about being known for a pop song that lacked gravitas. "It's a fruity pop song written for children. It just is what it is", Michael Stipe told the BBC's Andrew Marr in 2016. "If there was one song that was sent into outer space to represent R.E.M. for the rest of time, I would not want it to be 'Shiny Happy People{{'"}}.[2] ReceptionIn its 2006 "Song of the Summer" countdown, CBC Radio's Freestyle named "Shiny Happy People" 1991's "Song of the Summer".[3][4] By contrast, in 2006, the song received the No. 1 position on AOL Music's list of the "111 Wussiest Songs of All Time".[5] Blender magazine also ranked the song No. 35 on its list of the "50 Worst Songs Ever",[6] and Q magazine included it in a list of "Ten Terrible Records by Great Artists" in 2005.[7] When Michael Stipe made an appearance on Space Ghost Coast to Coast in 1995, after Space Ghost asks him to sing the “Shiny Shiny People” song, he simply states "I hate that song, Space Ghost." Due to the band's dislike of the song, it was one of their few Warner-released singles not included on their 2003 greatest hits album In Time.[8] It was later included on their 2011 greatest hits album Part Lies, Part Heart, Part Truth, Part Garbage 1982–2011.

Other versionsDespite R.E.M's dislike of the song, they created a parody called "Furry Happy Monsters" in 1999, and performed it on Sesame Street with a Muppet version of Kate Pierson singing backing vocals, voiced by Stephanie D'Abruzzo of Avenue Q. The monsters from the Monsters in Day Care segments (and the Two-Headed Monster) were also featured in this video. Alvin and the Chipmunks recorded a cover of the song as a playable track for their 2007 video game. The song has also been covered by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, but without the lyrics.[17]A cover version of the song is featured on the 2004 video game Donkey Konga 2. The Fatima Mansions recorded an obscene version of the song, with R.E.M.'s members credited as the authors. It appeared on the EPs Bertie's Brochures and Tima Mansió Dumps the Dead and used only a sample of the main title line, otherwise the music and the verse lyrics were totally changed. The song appears in the Space Pirates episode "Music To Paint To". "Shiny Happy People" is one of several anachronistic songs that appear in the 2013 video game BioShock Infinite, which is set in 1912. This version of the song is performed as an Al Jolson-esque big band piece by Tony Babino (vocals), Scott Bradlee (arrangement and piano), Adam Kubota, Allan Mednard, and Tom Abbott.[18][19][20] References1. ^Saturday Night Live - Season 16, Episode 17: Catherine O'Hara/R.E.M. - TV.com 2. ^{{cite AV media |people= Andrew Marr |series= The Andrew Marr Show |url= https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tF2aJcoeXGw|title= REM Talk Donald Trump on Andrew Marr show, Michael Stipe Mike Mills |network= BBC |date= Nov 20, 2016 |website= YouTube |accessdate= December 26, 2016}} 3. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.weladwbanat.net/category/human-development-happiness-happiness-tips |title=Pursuit Of Happiness - Love & Happiness Tips |date= |accessdate=14 March 2012}} 4. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.weladwbanat.net/ |title=How To Reach The Happiness |date= |accessdate=}} 5. ^{{cite web |url=http://music.aol.com/feature/111-wussiest-songs-number-1 |title=The 111 Wussiest Songs of All Time (No. 1) |publisher=AOL Music |accessdate=20 August 2006 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20060826070723/http://music.aol.com/feature/111-wussiest-songs-number-1 |archivedate=August 26, 2006}} 6. ^Run for Your Life!
