Quiz #181 - R.E.M. "Strange currencies"

One of those songs that stick with you and make you hum in the street, triggering sympathetic looks from the elderly... "so young, and so crazy... poor girl..."

Anyway, you have til next Tuesday, June 2nd I think, to post the correct answers in the comment form. And if you know the song, enjoy :)

UPDATED:

Monster is indeed R.E.M.'s long-promised "rock" album; it just doesn't rock in the way one might expect. Instead of R.E.M.'s trademark anthemic bashers, Monster offers a set of murky sludge, powered by the heavily distorted and delayed guitar of Peter Buck.

Monster doesn't have the conceptual unity or consistently brilliant songwriting of Automatic for the People, but it does offer a wide range of sonic textures that have never been heard on an R.E.M. album before.
