"Crush with Eyeliner" is a song by American rock band R.E.M., released as the fourth single from their ninth studio album, Monster (1994). Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore provides background vocals. Michael Stipe claims the song was inspired by the band New York Dolls, who, in his opinion, "knew how to exaggerate a song, to make it sound really sleazy and over the top." This was also one of the first songs that surfaced from Stipe after the writer's block that hounded him after the death of his friend, actor River Phoenix.[6]

«Crush with Eyeliner» es una canción de la banda de rock estadounidense R.E.M., lanzada como el cuarto sencillo de su noveno álbum de estudio, Monster (1994). Thurston Moore de Sonic Youth ofrece coros. Michael Stipe afirma que la canción se inspiró en la banda New York Dolls, quienes, en su opinión, «sabían cómo exagerar una canción, hacer que sonara realmente sórdida y exagerada». Esta fue también una de las primeras canciones que surgieron de Stipe después del bloqueo del escritor que lo persiguió después de la muerte de su amigo, el actor River Phoenix.[5]
