And what's more, it's the first song where I can actually play along AND sing along at the same time - which for a beginner is really hard.

I was sitting practicing while watching REM playing at Glastonbury and I noticed that I was hitting similar-sounding chords and within five minutes I was near-as-dammit following the song on telly. Was very good for my playing confidence.
