NO, NOT THE PATSY CLINE SONG! It’s time to dive into the record collection for another tune that doesn’t have the title in the lyrics. (So obviously this isn’t the Patsy Cline song, given that Willie Nelson put the title in that song!) Sing along, JJ, with today’s great song!
#3: Crazy - R.E.M.
Could I possibly leave this great R.E.M. cover of a Pylon song off the list? NO!!!!!
This was the first song R.E.M. did in the first encore the second time I saw them. Not that I like the song, or remember the concert, or anything. 
Athens was a thriving college rock scene in the late 70s/early 80s. While Pylon never made it outside of the home of the University of Georgia, R.E.M. sure did. Before they became “superstars” they covered this song and put it on the B-side to “Driver 8.”
A few million albums later, Pylon is very happy that R.E.M. did.

You’re funny and you don’t even try:

Was disappointed that it wasn't Patsy Cline! :-) Don't recognize this one.
