Man on the Moon (Music from the Motion Picture) is the soundtrack to the 1999 film Man on the Moon. The soundtrack was released on November 22, 1999, in the UK and November 23, 1999, in the US. It was issued on Warner Bros. Records, in conjunction with Jersey Records, a part of Danny DeVito's Jersey Group.
The soundtrack was written by rock band R.E.M., whose 1992 song "Man on the Moon" (originally written in honor of Kaufman) gave the film its title. The soundtrack also included the Grammy-nominated song "The Great Beyond", which remains the band's highest-charting single in the United Kingdom.[1]
