Bad Day (R.E.M.)
Bad Day (R.E.M.)
R.E.M.
Bad Day works as a rock selection rather than an automatic party anthem. This is a deeper cut for listeners who know R.E.M. well. Treat it as a performance piece, not a guaranteed group singalong.

Performance tip
Bad Day will land more clearly if you keep the recurring hook rhythmically identical so listeners can recognize its return. That preparation will keep Bad Day from flattening into one dynamic level.
Should you sing it?
Choose Bad Day when a lived-in, first-person delivery suits you. It has a clearly recurring hook, with fairly active phrasing. Plan to carry the verses yourself; this is not rated as a dependable full-room singalong.
