I love this little song, I'm pretty sure it's just a throwback to the entire Zoo T.V experience, "I love to watch things on T.V", and "Satellite" is the English translation of "Trabant".


It appeared on the "One" LP...never got much respect...it really is a wonderful song, I always pictured the hanging, lite and painted Trabants as they hovered over the crowd whenever I hear this little jem..so what you guys think?

(By the way, I love Edge faintly singing in the backround "OH, OH, OH, OH" towards the end, nice touch)


Satellite's gone
Up to the sky
Things like that drive me
Out of my mind
I watched it for a little while
I love to watch things on TV


Oh...satellite of love
Ah...satellite of love
Oo...satellite of love
Satellite


Satellite's gone
Way up to Mars
Soon it will be filled
With parking cars
I watched it for a little while
I love to watch things on TV


Ooo...ahh...satellite of love
Ha...satellite of love
Satellite of love
Satellite


I've been told that you've been bold
With Harry, Mark, and John
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday
Harry, Mark, and John

(WHO'S HARRY, MARK, AND JOHN BY THE WAY?)

You do know this is a Lou Reed song, right?

As far as b-sides go, I think it got quite a bit of respect, they played it quite a bit during ZooTV.
