41 "What the heck is the chorus of 'The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonight'?" (R.E.M.)

Well, it's not "Call me in Jamaica," or even "Only in Chalawaika." The
chorus is "Call when you try to wake her up, call when you try to wake
her." (Stipe's alternate version related on AOL was "Call me if you try to
wake her up.")

He is often quoted as saying 'the earlier songs don't have lyrics per se.' How does he do that? Seems ridiculous, but at the same time... witty." (R.E.M.)

• next: 42 "What is that weird sound/voice at the beginning of 'Superman'?" (R.E.M.)
