R.E.M.: Star 69 (1994)

"Star 69" did not take long to become dated. The song is about a phone feature that allows people to check on the last caller. It still exists, but has been rendered irrelevant by caller ID. The song itself is fast paced and full of energy. It evolved from a 6 minute demo to become a 3 minute pop song.
