"Supernatural Superserious" is a song by American alternative rock band R.E.M.. It is the first single and third track from the band's fourteenth album ''Accelerate'' and premiered on now defunct New York City radio station WRXP on February 5, 2008, without the consent of Warner Bros. Records. The single was first released on February 11, 2008 as an MP3, and February 25, 2008 on CD. Like most of the songs on ''Accelerate'', it made its debut during the band's "working rehearsals" at the Olympia Theatre in Dublin between June 30 and July 5, 2007, in an unfinished form with the name "Disguised"; the song appears on ''Live at The Olympia'' in this form. Its title was changed on the advice of Coldplay frontman Chris Martin.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=REM: Chris Martin named our new single )〕 The song itself proved an early success, entering the UK Singles Chart at #54 on downloads, before its official physical release, although—unlike most of R.E.M.'s lead singles in the UK—it was not a hit there. It also became R.E.M.'s first song since 2001's "Imitation of Life" to enter more than two charts and to chart on the ''Billboard'' Modern Rock Tracks, with an entry position of #36, eventually reaching #21. The other chart that the song charted was the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 where it reached #85. It is also the band's final appearance on the Hot 100 chart. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=R.E.M.: Supernatural Superserious (Track Review) )〕 The song was used by ESPN as part of their coverage of Major League Baseball's 2008 Opening Day. It was also featured in the film ''He's Just Not That Into You''. A special 7" single was released to commemorate Record Store Day on April 19, 2008, in the US. The single was made available exclusively for participating stores along with special releases from Björk and Death Cab for Cutie. ==Music video== The music video was shot by director Vincent Moon in various locations around New York City. On February 12, 2008 the website supernaturalsuperserious.com (no longer available) was launched, containing ten takes of the video available for download in high definition as well as a (YouTube page ) for users to upload their own versions of the video.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=R.E.M.Hq: News )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Supernatural Superserious」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
