I have never once heard Real Thing in any media campaign... maybe it has something to do with where I live? It's played about once every two months on one radio station here in Austin, and that's probably the only station in the state that plays it at all.
Regardless, I love the song.

It was a single, it adds to the rocking opening and change of traditional U2 sound. I 
it along with the entire album... but to me, "So Cruel" is the most under-rated track (Acrobat's the best, but that gets love here).

In Adelaide, the cover of Everlasting Love is by far one of the most played U2 songs on the radio, so I doubt using EBTTRT in Today Tonight reports about loud neighbours that drive tractors into verandas is the norm.

I connot stand it when they use songs in media/advertising/sports venues, just because someone has misunderstood its meaning, usually based off a literal interpretation of the title.
as if EBBTRT can ever be about [insert crappy product/sports team]
or Elevation about how high an athlete can jump
or Sexy Boots about football attire (it gets used on Dutch TV for Champions' League highlights
)

Yeah. Like, seriously, what the fuck. A few years ago I thought Everlasting Love was a U2 original. They play it all the freaking time.

Yeah, if they're playing a U2 song here you can usually guess its going to be from around RAH/Lovetown, they really don't play a hell of a lot from other eras other than fairly obvious ones like SBS, Pride, MW and BD. Seriously, I must have heard it about 100 times before realising it was U2 doing the cover.

Does Dana Carvey actually know how to play drums or is that just supposed to look cool ?
