When Austin Powers came out, REM was covering this 27-year-old song because Austin was from the distant past That was 27 years ago. If they made the same movie today someone could cover REM’s "How the West Was Won and Where It Got Us" for period flavor
Speaking as a gen xer and somebody that loves REM I won't say that I don't like it cuz I definitely do but the original is always the better in that case by Tommy James and the Shondells
Phone beeping you’ve got mail hello basil hello Austin how was your honeymoon? Well it turns out that Vanessa was a fembot yes we knew all along sadly anyway I have a new assignment for you austin your scheduled for a photo shoot & one of the models works for dr. Evil groovy baby shaguar!!

Best version of this song, hands down

REM stayed true to the original. Extended rendition but not overdone. A homage to Tommy James.
This ended up being my most listened to song of 2023 lol
This song takes me straight back to childhood lol.
“Groovy baby, Shaguar” -Austin powers
This cover does the original well
Yeah baby, yeeeeah!
One of my favorite bands covering one of my favorite bands!
Such a 'cruzey' song - love the brass & groove.
I really love the vibrato on the opening guitar. I've always felt that a good heavy dose of reverb makes just about any song BETTER!
i love this
Me too love it ❤️
I want my baby back baby back baby back I want my baby back baby back baby back.....
This cover is not on Spotify and im very upset about it lol
Pure awesomeness!!!!
love me some Tommy James & The Shondells
Great lyrics, great beat. So similar to TJ&S’s.
I'm 40 stuck in a 75 ye old. REM did an excellent remake, but prefer Tommy.
Awesome re-make.
Oh behave, Baby!
Great cover
This is the version I was looking for!
This is really good. Not sure how I got here but this is solid
Groovey baby
Vanessa was a fembot, all along. Wait a tick. That means i'm single again! Oh behave! Yeah baby yeah! - the international man of mystery.
It’s groovy baby
Tommy James And The Shondelles!
I'm here because my Spotify version disappeared. I have the original too, but still.
Wow
