Man On the Moon by REM

This is a pretty good song about the comedian Andy Kaufman. Even though I knew who he was (I used to watch Taxi), I still picture Jim Carrey when I hear it from the movie of the same title.

Mott the Hoople and the game of Life yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Andy Kaufman in the wrestling match yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Monopoly, Twenty one, checkers, and chess yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Mister Fred Blassie in a breakfast mess yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Let's play Twister, let's play Risk yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I'll see you in heaven if you make the list yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Now, Andy did you hear about this one?

Tell me, are you locked in the punch?

Andy are you goofing on Elvis? Hey, baby

Are we losing touch?

If you believed they put a man on the moon

Man on the moon

If you believe there's nothing up his sleeve

Then nothing is cool

Moses went walking with the staff of wood yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Newton got beaned by the apple good yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Egypt was troubled by the horrible asp yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Mister Charles Darwin had the gall to ask yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Now, Andy did you hear about this one?

Tell me, are you locked in the punch?

Andy are you goofing on Elvis? Hey, baby

Are you having fun?

If you believed they put a man on the moon

Man on the moon

If you believe there's nothing up his sleeve

Then nothing is cool

Here's a little agit for the never-believer yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Here's a little ghost for the offering yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Here's a truck stop instead of Saint Peter's yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Mister Andy Kaufman's gone wrestling yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Now, Andy did you hear about this one?

Tell me, are you locked in the punch?

Andy are you goofing on Elvis? Hey, baby

Are we losing touch?

If you believed they put a man on the moon

Man on the moon

If you believe there's nothing up his sleeve

Then nothing is cool

If you believed they put a man on the moon

Man on the moon

If you believe there's nothing up his sleeve

Then nothing is cool

If you believed they put a man on the moon

Man on the moon

If you believe there's nothing up his sleeve

Then nothing is cool

If you believed they put a man on the moon

Man on the moon

If you believe there's nothing up his sleeve

Then nothing is cool
