R.E.M. - Man On The Moon (1992)

"Man on the Moon" is a song by the American alternative rock band R.E.M., released as the second single from its 1992 album Automatic for the People. The song makes numerous references to the performer Andy Kaufman, including his Elvis impersonation and work with wrestlers Fred Blassie and Jerry Lawler. The song was released as a single in 1993. The title, video, and lyrics are a reference to the conspiracy theory that the American moon landing was faked. (EN:WP)
