Hey! Welcome back! It’s 2023 and we’re all in our places with bright, shiny faces so for today’s Forgotten 45 at 3:45, why not REM with “Shiny Happy People”?!

Tomorrow is Michael Stipe’s 63rd birthday, so today we go back to 1991 for their final top 10 hit. It also features the B-52’s Kate Pierson on vocals. It went on to be the final top 10 hit for the band, who by the way doesn’t really care for the song. Stipe called it “fruity, kind of a bubblegum song.”

Well, I like it and I hope you do as well. Welcome back to the grind with the video of “Shiny Happy People” today’s Forgotten 45!
