I feel like Batman got short shrift this Batman and Football month. Since we're almost out of time, here's a link to the song that R.E.M. wrote in 1992 for Batman Returns:

Winged Mammal Theme

I don't love it, but at just just under three minutes in length, I find it a lot more palatable than the nearly twice as long and much more widely known One Word Wonder Batdance.

Before I was really cognizant of R.E.M. (The Band), I remember seeing posters and graffiti promoting their work around Atlanta. The song that broke through my dense skull to get my attention was this:

Stand

Turns out they were a pretty good band.
