REM is one of my favorite bands. I became a fan early on, when they were just starting out. I was in college, and they were our little secret band, unknown to the masses until they signed with Warner Brothers. Then it went from seeing them in intimate settings to huge stadiums. I never knew they covered Tusk! Is there an audio of it?
Did you know that Camper Van Beethoven not only covered the song Tusk, they covered the entire album? They became very intrigued by the album and attempted to cover all the songs (but no one wanted to do Stevie's songs!). Years later they released it. It mimicks the original cover, but instead of a dog attacking the shoe, it's some sort of rodent with horns -- I have no idea what it is, but it looks nasty. Some of the songs are okay, but some are hard to listen to, after all, they were just amusing themselves, with no intentions of releasing it.
