All right, let's have a little fun. Who knows what song this 3-second clip is from? Hint: Michael's strange vocalization is buried on the album mix, but it is there if you listen closely...

Wait, are the drums from the original track as well?

It is an album track which was also a single. The drums are from the original track. Layers upon layers of guitars are what is missing, revealing the "hah."
If no one has gotten it tonight (eastern US), I'll post a clip that will give it away.

The speed throws me off a bit, it's certainly a bit quick. And the number of R.E.M. songs sections with no hi-hat or ride cymbal is actually rather few if you only count songs at this tempo...
Hmm...very interesting but difficult.

OK, got it. Chorus of ITEOTWAKI. Like I said the tempo was the key, not many songs at that tempo at all, an even less with portion of tom-tom fills without hi-hat.

Yes! If you put on headphones, you can hear it at 1:52, and he repeats it again at 1:56. (times are from the original cd release)

Well, I can assure you I had never noticed it before...
A few years back there was a guy on here who posted detailed notations of "noises" and sounds on the albums, e.g. frets sliding noises, missed notes, notable breathing sounds etc. Pretty strange stuff. Seems you can still find them all under "Rapid Ear Movement", like this one: http://www.murmurs.c...t-oot-and-aftp/
