It's baffling that this didn't make the album. It's sleazy sounding and a hell of a lot of fun.
Boring shit like Song for Someone made the album over this. Friggin U2. They always do this.
And yes, U2 clearly were listening to Love Is the Drug and/or Rock the Casbah when they wrote this.

You see, there are also people (like me) who are very glad U2 didn't put this on the album and throw out beautiful (not boring and not shit) songs like EBW or SFS. I think everyone here can make his own and individual U2 record and tracklist the way they wish for the album to sound like, throw songs out and add other songs.
Love the song, it's really different and great, but I don't know that I would replace anything off of the proper album for it save for maybe SFS.
I have a feeling this song will be the "The Mercy" of 2014...people thinking it's the greatest song they've ever done and not understanding why it didn't get a proper release.
I'm getting a bounce back when I try to send it Mikal, do you have another email address?
That's a good point. I do remember the band saying something about one of their 2,982,581 albums that they were making, one of them was a dance album. Makes me wonder if they scrapped that idea and ended up reworking some of the songs into more traditional rock, and that TCB just didn't fit on SOI or SOE musically so they just used it as a B-Side.

I can't get the arcade fire out of my head when I listen to this song. Digging it though.

I don't hear Arcade Fire whatsoever.
I do hear Broken Bells, which is not surprising considering the Mouse and all.
did you find out if we had the production credits for this disc? this song has to be all DM i figure.
I haven't seen it, but I can't see anyway that it's not a pure Danger Mouse track.
It oozes danger mouse. I would be shocked if it turned out to be Epworth or Tedder..
Someone over at the @u2 forum says the 12' mix is streaming on U2.com (members only)?
