Song lyrics
Mott the Hoople and the game of Life 
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 
Andy Kaufman in the wrestling match 
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 
Monopoly, Twenty-One, Checkers and Chess 
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 
Mr. Fred Blassie in a breakfast mess 
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 
Let's play Twister, let's play Risk 
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 
I'll see you heaven if you make the list 
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 

Now Andy did you hear about this one? 
Tell me, are you locked in the punch? 
Andy are you goofin' on Elvis (hey, baby)
Are we losing touch? 

If you believed they put a man on the moon 
Man on the moon 
If you believed, there's nothing up his sleeve 
Then nothing is cool 

Moses went walking with the staff of wood 
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 
Newton got beaned by the apple good 
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 
Egypt was troubled by the horrible asp 
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 
Mr. Charles Darwin had the gall to ask 
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 

Now Andy did you hear about this one? 
Tell me, are you locked in the punch? 
Andy are you goofin' on Elvis (hey, baby) 
Are you having fun? 

If you believed they put a man on the moon 
Man on the moon 
If you believed there's nothing up his sleeve 
Then nothing is cool 

Here's a little agit for the never-believer 
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 
Here's a little ghost for the offering 
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 
Here's a truck stop instead of Saint Peter's 
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 
Mr. Andy Kaufman's gone wrestling (wrestling) 
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 

Now Andy did you hear about this one? 
Tell me, are you locked in the punch? 
Andy are you goofing on Elvis (hey, baby) 
Are we losing touch? 

If you believed they put a man on the moon 
Man on the moon (man on the, man on the moon) 
If you believed there's nothing up his sleeve 
Then nothing is cool 

(Repeat....)

i personally don't like REM (just not my style). however, andy kaufman is my idol so i decided to listen to this song. they really do him justice and it's nice to see him remembered in a song as good as this one. (and not just as latka on taxi or as the guy who "faked his death")

Does any one know why its called "Man on the Moon?" I was thinking maybe because people believe that his death was a hoax and people also believe that the fisrt man on the moon was faked. I have no idea if thats true or not so if any one could help me out.
