Lady With The Spinning Head

[westendgirl]

Like all songs on Achtung Baby, it's about a blowjob.

You think the church choir realizes that?

of course
after each rehearsal, they had an orgy and a BBQ

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

It's an archaic, lost to the ages sex move. It was originally featured in the Lemon video in conjunction with the caption: "Woman rotating 360 degrees performing fellatio."

360 eh? So the inspiration for this tour is a blow job? explains the giant spear at the top of the stage.

then, no one dares mention the mirrorball...

..., then, the CLAW... oh, God

 

[kingofsorrow]

wouldn't the song be about a prostitute? the lines. "she got the rent. she put me in the black", doesn't jive with a sexual position.

Figure of 8... 8 = infinity, just turned up
6 into 9 again = 69 = yin and yang = circle of love.
Endless circle of love.

Song is all about getting the nasty on. Even the title is a phrase for a woman having an orgasm.

maybe another forgotten Ali birthday gift made song...

All time favorite b side.... Holy Joe is up there and Winter/Mercy, not even sure they are B sides, more like hidden tracks that should be on the albums.

god i love this song

the elaborate sounding riff & melody that Edge builds up in it


i'd be as hyper to hear this live as i have been hearing Zooropa live at last!

besides the sexual stuff
i also think of the roulette wheel ... the spinner center piece as the lady and the black & red numbers as part of her "dress" fanning out out

BY FAR my favorite B-side. The extended dance mix is even better. I can listen to that over and over.

I doubt we'll see it live only because two other songs came out of it. I wasn't just one of those "scrapped" B-sides. It was more of a "foundation" one.

I love the AB outtake "Wake Up Deadman" that sounds a bit like LWTSH.
Such crank it up and play them loud songs.
