This week, I wanted to post a U2 song because I'm going to see them on Sunday. However, their catalog is not exactly full of fun, exuberant, bust-out-of-work-early-on-Friday tunes. I was going to give up until I remembered this little gem, "Lady With The Spinning Head". It's a B-side, but definitely an "A" song. It seems to foreshadow Pop, their foray into dance music, but the song was recorded during the sessions that led to Achtung Baby. It was ultimately broken up for parts like an old car and pieces of it wound up in other songs. The astute ear can hear parts of what became "The Fly" and "Ultraviolet". Have a great weekend!

Have fun! Say "Hi" to Fergie for Falwless.
Achtung Baby is the only record of theirs I can stomach.
Luck you, have a great time at the show!
Great tune, words, I def. hear "The Fly" in there.
Ah, old U2 right before they decided to stop being good.
