I like Wild Honey myself, but I think it would have been better served as a B-side. I think Summer Rain is light hearted enough to have been on ATYCLB.

I'm sorry...
whackjester said:I don't like Wild Honey purely from a lyrical stand point. One of the things that I've liked best about U2 (besides the guitar work of the Edge) is that many of the lyrics are metaphorical and require some deep thought. This song has neither, unless a monkey stealing honey does something for you.

Obviously the use of monkey symbolizes the penis and and honey stands for the "honey pot." So yes, it does something for me.

Obviously... Wait a minute. I never though this. Then what does "swingin' through the trees" mean?
Flying FuManchu said:a subversive/ sexual song such as Wild Honey must create feelings of disgust and loathing. Hmmmmm

But why is it bad in your opinion? It always gets slammed on this site but people do not give intelligent answers about why they think its so bad.
Pretty close to being the worst song ever? Being a little dramatic?

Wild Honey is just pop for the sake of pop

I always thought the "I was a monkey" is connected to the "days when we were swinging from the trees" meant the song is about a relationship that was meant to be. A couple belonging together even before they ever met.
"stealing honey from a swarm of bees" IMO means that the guy in the relationship was pursuing the woman. She had several candidates interested, but he succeeded in wooing her.

I think that's the line anyway.
