    Lyrics:
    You can reach, but you can't grab it.
    You can't hold it, control it
    You can't bag it.
    You can push, but you can't direct it
    Circulate, regulate, oh no
    You cannot connect it - love.
    You know you're chewing bubble gum
    You know what that is but you still want some.
    You just can't get enough of that lovey-dovey stuff
    You get confused, but you know it
    Yeah, you hurt for it, work for it, love
    You don't always show it - love.
    Let go, let's go, discotheque.
    Go, go, let go, discotheque.
    Looking for the one
    But you know you're somewhere else instead.
    You want to be the song
    The song that you hear in your head
    Love, love, love, love.
    It's not a trick, you can't learn it
    It's the way that you don't pay that's okay
    'Cause you can't earn it - love
    You know you're chewing bubble gum
    You know what that is
    But you still want some
    You just can't get enough of that lovey-dovey stuff
    Let go, let's go, discotheque.
    Go, go, go, go, discotheque.
    Looking for the one
    But you know you're somewhere else instead.
    You want to be the song
    The song that you hear in your head
    Love, love, love.
    But you take what you can get
    'Cause it's all that you can find.
    Oh you know there's something more
    But tonight, tonight, tonight.
    Boom cha, boom cha, discotheque.

      I'm here on the 19th February 2024. It was released as a lead single on 3 February 1997. Therefore a few weeks ago it was the 27th anniversary of Discotheque. I remember watching it the music video on top of the Pops after it got to number one in the UK. This was just before I got into fan. They have been my favourite band ever since.

    As years go by, the clearer it gets that Pop was criminally underrated (including by the band itself who keeps on ignoring the album from setlists, reissues, on interviews, etc.). Unlike many U2 songs from the past 20 years, most songs from Pop actually still sound kind of fresh. "Discothèque", specially in this version, has a great groove, an addictive meeting of different types of distorted and processed guitars, very interesting.

      All true. So true...
      POP was a very cool album. MoFo was probably the most unbelievable song on it (and I remember Bono even saying (way back then) that it was his favorite song they'd ever done... boy, how he's changed his 'tune' on that, huh?).
      And Please might've been the most 'U2' song on it and IT was great!
      Zooropa is still probably my FAVORITE thing they did back in that decade and Lemon most of all
      -back when they really were the best; but all of it was awesome, and since they released the Million Dollar Hotel soundtrack (which had some great songs on it) back in 2000, they've never been close to what they once were. 😕

      @@klausuberhauser4303 That's one of the problems of XXI century U2 for me: the trauma of Pop lead the band to the irreversible vision of overproduced/overwrote songs over and over until today. The magic of Pop was exactly the opposite: songs that have interesting production techniques but that are raw as songs, that show the songs in its pure forms (maybe "Miami" or "Please" were underworked, but "Gone" or "Mofo" were a nice painiting mixing raw with heavy).

      Basically, Zontar82 & vanillacaffelatte, it isn't even that they went "downhill" from there...
      It's more of a choice that they seemed to make that pleased many millions and bothered many of (the rest of) us, which was:
      easy/predictable "popularity".
      They were unique & cool & exciting in the 90s (their 30s) and by 2000 they each had tremendous wealth and fame (Bono especially), and rather than saying that for that reason alone they could 'afford' to keep going in new/original directions creatively, they would get rid of the effects, the experimentations, and competing with a fearlessly adventurous band like Radiohead and happily settle for commercial success and lots of radio PLAY and leaving all of 'us' to reminisce about U2 USE TO be, while going back to satisfy their fans from the 80s who didn’t go along for the ride in the 90s.

On the other hand, a radio station from my country broadcasted live PopMart concert in Sarajevo and a TV station broadcasted some parts of the show in Rotterdam. It was on those occasions that I've heard for the first time Gone and Please. It was love at first sight, I still love a lot those songs. The premiere of Starring at he Sun video I watched on Italian public TV. So I have nice memories about that period of time and about Pop songs.
