Letra Shiny Happy People

A música Shiny Happy People da banda R.E.M., do álbum Out of Time lançado em 1991, reflete a era pós-Guerra Fria com uma mensagem de alegria e união. A letra foi inspirada pela frase chinesa Shiny Happy People Holding Hands, usada na propaganda do governo pós-Massacre da Praça Tiananmen. Mesmo vista com certo ceticismo pelo próprio Michael Stipe anos depois, a música recebeu diversos elogios e alcançou posições de topo em várias paradas musicais.

Meet me in the crowd. People, people
Throw your love around. Love me, love me
Take it into town. Happy, happy
Put it in the ground where the flowers grow
Gold and silver shine

Shiny happy people holding hands

Everyone around Love them, love them
Put it in your hands. Take it, take it
There's no time to cry. Happy, happy
Put it in your heart where tomorrow shines
Gold and silver shine
