How about "Johnny Swallow" or their cover of "Jesus Christ?"
 
Well that's not my fault...although I should have remembered J. Swallow.

I got all those songs off the Master Alphabetical Archive on the U2 Lyrics Archive here at good ol' Interference. So take it up with Joel. I'd edit the post, but alas, apparently I can no longer edit it more than 60 seconds after the original post time :sad:

Sorry!

However, here would be my rankings for the 2 'J' songs:

There you have it.
