Animal, from the R.E.M. greatest hits album, In Time

"This is the newest song on the record. It is also the most spontaneous. It was recorded in about 15 minutes. Within a couple of weeks from first hearing it, Michel had written and sung the vocals (including that creepy robot backing vocal). Mike then out on his Arabic-type vocal, I added lead guitar and it was finished. Now all I have to do is convince the guys eveything should be done this quickly. Who knows? It could happen?

Yeah and its probably the weakest song on the In Time album, a good album filler, but it aint no killer. Any way, see if you agree with me by watching the youtube of the Animal promo video.
