Tuning: E A D G B E
Written by Allen Toussaint, this is an adaptation from the version recorded by Al Hirt in the early 1960s. R.E.M. performed their version of this song (which was commonly called "Hot Java" by fans because Michael Stipe would occasionally add lyrics to this instumental) as background music to the band introductions on their 1995 Monster world tour.
