Orange Crush,’ released in 1988 as the lead single from R.E.M.’s *Green* album, is a politically charged track addressing the use of the chemical Agent Orange during the Vietnam War. The song’s militaristic beat and lyrical depth reflect its anti-war message. Directed by Matt Mahurin, the music video utilizes stark black-and-white visuals, further enhancing the song’s somber tone.
