"The hips of the music" (Mofo and Vertigo)

[Knuckle]

I remember, in the build-up to POP's release, Bono talking about Mofo in an interview. He mentioned that Mofo was a song where you could really find "the hips of the music".

While Mofo was a great tune in its own right, I'm not sure that I ever located its real hips (except when I listened to an earpiece or soundboard recording from Edmonton '97 - - much funkier start). I liked Mofo for other reasons.

Now Vertigo on the other hand, there's a tune with big, swinging, sweaty hips. In fact, I don't think U2 has ever had a song with such a huge gyrating pelvis. This song is special, different than anything else they've done, and different than anything else out there (without getting "far out"), and I love it. Can't wait for the A-bomb.

Bigger hips: Mofo or Vertigo?..........methinks Vertigo.

I do agree that Vertigo is unlike anything they've done before...I don't know about which song has the child-bearing hips.

To me Mofo is more of a head banging song. I vote for Vertigo as having the hips.

(Especially after seeing Bono doing his little twist in the video)

Wow, that was just an overwhelmingly vivid mental image. I think I'd have to go with Mofo, but maybe that's because I've a preference for smaller, non-sweaty hips.

OMG...that wiggle was definetly hot. Ok I'm voting for Vertigo now. But I do really love Mofo too....

Vertgio - That song has a nice swagger to it
and yes wiggles are always hot

 

[U2dork]

Ah, the wiggle...

But sweaty hips?

I'll go with Vertigo as being hippier...
