Covers EP"},"content":{"rendered":"

Micky Dolenz<\/b>, the last surviving member of The Monkees<\/b>, recently shared “Shiny Happy People” from his upcoming R.E.M.<\/b> covers EP.<\/p>\n

Dolenz Sings R.E.M.<\/i>, an upcoming tribute EP by the Monkees rocker, is due on November 3 via 7A Records.<\/p>\n

“Once again, this EP reaffirms my long-held conviction that a solid recording always begins with solid material,” Dolenz says in a statement accompanying the single. “You don’t get much more solid than R.E.M. What a joy to sing these classics and honor a team of outstanding writers.”<\/p>\n

“Shiny Happy People” is the second single from R.E.M.’s seventh studio album, Out of Time<\/i> (1991). It features guest vocals by Kate Pierson<\/b> of the B-52<\/b>‘s, who also appears in the music video.<\/p>\n

The song reached No. 10 on the Billboard Hot 100<\/i>, the fourth and last R.E.M. single to reach the top 10. <\/p>\n

Dolenz also covers the band’s 1981 debut single “Radio Free Europe,” their 1992 hit “Man on the Moon,” and the 2004 deep cut “Leaving New York.”<\/p>\n
