Letra de
Man On the Moon

La canción Man on the Moon de R.E.M. es un homenaje al comediante y artista Andy Kaufman. La letra hace referencia a varias peculiaridades y eventos en la vida de Kaufman, incluidas sus imitaciones de lucha libre y su prematura muerte. La canción especula sobre la realidad del fallecimiento de Kaufman, jugando con la idea de que podría haber sido otra de sus elaboradas bromas, y hace referencia a la famosa teoría conspirativa de que el alunizaje ... fue una farsa. El tema es conocido por su estribillo pegadizo y su estilo melódico distintivo. Ver más [+]
