881. Crush With Eyeliner by R.E.M. (1995)

"Crush With Eyeliner" was inspired by the New York Dolls. Michael Stipe wanted a song that was "over the top" and "sleazy." The work is on the Monster album. The band joked about selling out after its release. However, it may have been a case of the mainstream coming to R.E.M. rather than R.E.M. going mainstream!
