I'd rather a one word title, or a weird phrase like "The Joshua Tree" or "Achtung Baby" or "Acrobat" or even "Wire" than some cheesey, cringeworthy title like "Sacred Heart"
U2 + sacred heart + scrubs =

shame the song doesn't live up to the name imo.
The Killahurtz Remix should've been used as the official version. Much cooler.
Sacred Heart Of Malibu sounds an awful lot like Flowering Rose Of Glastonbury. Maybe they changed the title?

But...it severly lacks The Edge Guitar™!
That doesn't sound like any NLOTH song or any of the Rubin beach clips does it ?
Two drumbeats and multiple harmonies ?
It's like saying "Yeah, I've got this Rembrant waiting to be hung in my gallery, but this Thomas Kinkaide is already there sooooooo..."
Brandon Flowers B-side?If you add the NLOTH leftover Lanois talks about you could have a single:
"Welcome"
to
"The Sacred Heart of Malibu"
It probably had to be pushed off the album for the uninspired Dad Rock of the middle 1/3rd of the record.
To reach a point where "Stand Up Comedy" or "Crazy Tonight", etc is a keeper, you either have to put it up against a truly terrible track, or have completely lost the plot.

It could be that they felt like it just didn't "fit" with the rest of the album; it doesn't necessarily suck worse than SUC.
Brandon Flowers B-side?
Oh I didn't mean to seriously suggest anything could be worse than SUC. I was trying to get at the idea that the band completely lost the plot near the end of the recording sessions and tried to play it safe when they realized they had an album of cool esoteric music that probably wouldn't get much airplay. I <3 "Cedars of Lebanon", "White as Snow", "Fez - Being Born" to name but a few, but I'm not going to be crazy (tonight) and imagine them on the radio.
Looking back, I should had phrased my original post better to make it clear that SUC, et al were the Thomas Kinkade paintings.
