-'''Automatic Baby''' was a rock [[Supergroup (music)|supergroup]] briefly formed by members of the bands [[R.E.M.]] and [[U2]]. It was co-formed by [[Michael Stipe]] ([[lead vocals]]) and [[Mike Mills]] ([[guitar]]) from [[R.E.M.]], and [[Adam Clayton]] ([[percussion]]) and [[Larry Mullen Jr.]] ([[percussion]]) from [[U2]]. The band's only performance was an acoustic version of "[[One (U2 song)|One]]" during an [[MTV]] concert for President [[Bill Clinton]]. Members of R.E.M. and U2 have been close friends since 1984, especially Stipe and [[Bono]]. The group's name comes from the first word in the title of [[R.E.M.]]'s ''[[Automatic for the People]]'', and the last in [[U2]]'s ''[[Achtung Baby]]''.

-The sole Automatic Baby performance has been released on at least four commercial compilations.  The first was the second edition of [[Atlanta, Georgia|Atlanta]] radio station [[WNNX (99X)|99x]]'s [[Live X]] CD series, released in 1995. The following year, [[Maryland]] alternative radio station [[WNEW-FM|WHFS]] released a compilation of performances from its ''Just Passin' Thru'' program, and included the track. Later in 1996, a UK compilation released by Island Records titled ''Childline'' included the track. Island Records released another benefit CD the following year in the U.S., titled ''Amazing Grace'', which included the song.  The radio station compilations were very limited, possibly as few as 10,000 copies each. The Island Records releases had a larger pressing. All four releases are currently out of print.
