Help! When exactly did they write HMTMKMKM?!

[oliveu2cm]

OK someone's got to know out there! PLEASEEEE someone know! i'm up to my elbows in muck of this song and i really need to know:

did U2 start writing this during AB, and then push it off?

or did they start to write it during Zooropa, and then push it off?

*crosses fingers*
if ever I needed to ring Bono...

I'm pretty sure that they wrote it while working on Zooropa but then decided not to put it on the album.

phew. ok thx GL! I'm trying to determine if it was written pre-Mac, during-Mac or post-Mac. lol. i know, i'm nuts! probably during, probally right around the time Mac started forming in bono's brain, huh? phew. be prepared for a major post/revelation on this later!

(nice Bad thread, too, btw!)

Yeah, I think so too. I remember it's mentioned in "the Bible."

It was written while working on Zooropa...I think I recall that part of the title of HMTMKMKM is hidden in the Zooropa cover.

Yeah, during Zooropa.

I still do not know if I like that song, or not - I am just very thankful it did not make it onto Zooropa. I think it would not have been a positive addition to that record.
