Not sure if it was deliberate or a typo, but someone in the other place referred to the new song as "Little Thongs."
Anyway, I humbly submit "The Little Thongs That Give You A Wedgie" for cockification.

Bad with the Heroes snippet sounded incredible.
So I'm in the mall with wife and kid yesterday killing a half hour before going to the movies, and the PA in the store we are in plays Song For Someone.
First time I've heard it in about a week shy of 2 full years, not since final Boston show of 2015.
I will say this, after a 2 year break from it then hearing it again...the song still sucks big time
So I think the only person on this forum who would get the depth of how I feel about ASOH not making it is NSW.
Never ever thought I would be disappointed to hear Bad, but here we are. That intro, normally a bringer of great elation, deflated me like little else.
It especially hurts because outside of JT side 2, there's really no reason to see this tour. The encore is a complete waste of time, just awful. It's bloody lucky those last three songs on JT are so incredible.
I'm crushed for you, but sad you're taking it so heavily. I think so much of the show is wonderful.
Are you seeing any more?
yup, any other time hearing the intro to bad would have made me lose my shit (aka exactly what happened on i+e, by *far* the most emotional part of that show for me). but i was actually pretty dismayed to hear it, even though i knew by that time the chances of them playing ASOH were 1% or less. bad at that point in the setlist is pretty brutal sequencing, and ASOH would have given the crowd a lot more energy going into pride -> JT, regardless of how many people know the words.
just a baffling decision. it's not like it's a particularly hard song to play or the live arrangement was obviously weak like some other songs they've tried in the past and quickly ditched (babyface). i got to see exit live, which was amazing, but fuck that concert would have been so much better with ASOH in bad's slot and then bad near the end replacing miss sarajevo or ultraviolet. but for whatever reason they seem to have a hard-on for playing this concert in chronological order regardless of how the setlist suffers for it
But in the interest of accentuating the positive, Bono's snippet of Heroes on Saturday was monstrously good. Longer than I expected and he really started belting it out. Powerful stuff, too bad it was still light out when it was happening.
I also doubt ASOH will be resurrected again for quite some time (the Dublin show notwithstanding) and even if it is, the chances of it being played on any tour of Australia are slim. They'd probably replace it with Stuck just before coming here, as part of their never ending apology for not bringing us the Elevation Tour.
I can certainly understand wanting to hear the song live - I did too - but I'm not sure where the disappointment/surprise is coming from...you of all people know that they dropped it a while ago and that the chances of its return were very slim, right?
By the time my show came around, I had made my peace with the fact that I in all likelihood wouldn't be getting that song. And I hadn't gotten Bad in a very long time anyway, so I was elated to get it anyway.
Anyway, just be glad you got to hear all of JT side B in person. That's something to treasure.
