Stand (R.E.M. song)
"Stand" is a song by the American alternative rock band R.E.M., released as the second single from the album ''Green'' in 1989. The song quickly rose up the charts, peaking at number six on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100, becoming R.E.M.'s second top 10 hit in the United States. The song reached number 48 on the UK Singles Charts. The song reached number 16 in Canada. It was placed on R.E.M.'s Warner Bros. Records "best of" album ''In Time: The Best of R.E.M. 1988–2003'' in 2003.
The song is an example of "truck driver's gear change", as the last two rounds of the chorus are each one whole step higher than the one previous.
"Stand" was used as the theme song for the 1990–92 Fox sitcom ''Get a Life'', starring Chris Elliott.
==Meaning==
Singer Michael Stipe has said of the song's origin that he and the other band members were discussing The Banana Splits, The Archies, The Monkees, and similar 1960s pop groups. "They threw these super bubblegummy songs at me, and I said, 'I'll raise you and see you one.' And I wrote the most inane lyrics that I could possibly write. Now, it was a very intentional thing to do that. I really like most of those songs, in fact."〔(Michael Stipe on "Stand" ), MTV.com〕 Guitarist Peter Buck described "Stand" as "without a doubt, () the stupidest song we've ever written. That's not necessarily a bad thing though", comparing the song to "Louie Louie" by the Kingsmen in terms of 'stupid' lyrical content.
