INDEED

Time for an underrated track. R.E.M.'s "Underneath the Bunker" from 1986's Lifes Rich Pageant is definitely that. Awesome surf guitar stylings from Mr. Peter Buck are reminiscent of Dick Dale and the like, while Michael (or someone else perhaps, it's difficult to tell) sings from a distance into a megaphone in a classic Stipe mumble.

Don't know what it's about, but it's a trip. And under two minutes at that!
