Lyrics:
You can reach, but you can't grab it.
You can't hold it, control it
You can't bag it.
You can push, but you can't direct it
Circulate, regulate, oh no
You cannot connect it - love.
You know you're chewing bubble gum
You know what that is but you still want some.
You just can't get enough of that lovey-dovey stuff
You get confused, but you know it
Yeah, you hurt for it, work for it, love
You don't always show it - love.
Let go, let's go, discotheque.
Go, go, let go, discotheque.
Looking for the one
But you know you're somewhere else instead.
You want to be the song
The song that you hear in your head
Love, love, love, love.
It's not a trick, you can't learn it
It's the way that you don't pay that's okay
'Cause you can't earn it - love
You know you're chewing bubble gum
You know what that is
But you still want some
You just can't get enough of that lovey-dovey stuff
Let go, let's go, discotheque.
Go, go, go, go, discotheque.
Looking for the one
But you know you're somewhere else instead.
You want to be the song
The song that you hear in your head
Love, love, love.
But you take what you can get
'Cause it's all that you can find.
Oh you know there's something more
But tonight, tonight, tonight.
Boom cha, boom cha, discotheque.

I'm here on the 19th February 2024. It was released as a lead single on 3 February 1997. Therefore a few weeks ago it was the 27th anniversary of Discotheque. I remember watching it the music video on top of the Pops after it got to number one in the UK. This was just before I got into fan. They have been my favourite band ever since.

As years go by, the clearer it gets that Pop was criminally underrated (including by the band itself who keeps on ignoring the album from setlists, reissues, on interviews, etc.). Unlike many U2 songs from the past 20 years, most songs from Pop actually still sound kind of fresh. "Discothèque", specially in this version, has a great groove, an addictive meeting of different types of distorted and processed guitars, very interesting.

[@brunodimedeiros]

100% FACTS/TRUE !!!!!!

[@mwesselkamp2063]

It also has a great guitar riff, i think one of The Edge's best. Check at 1.06

[@jlwilder8436]

All true. So true... POP was a very cool album. MoFo was probably the most unbelievable song on it (and I remember Bono even saying (way back then) that it was his favorite song they'd ever done... boy, how he's changed his 'tune' on that, huh?). And Please might've been the most 'U2' song on it and IT was great! Zooropa is still probably my FAVORITE thing they did back in that decade and Lemon most of all -back when they really were the best; but all of it was awesome, and since they released the Million Dollar Hotel soundtrack (which had some great songs on it) back in 2000, they've never been close to what they once were. 😕

[@klausuberhauser4303]

They were pretty unhappy about the production process of the album. Maybe they have some sort of trauma haha

[@Aygo84]

@@klausuberhauser4303 That's one of the problems of XXI century U2 for me: the trauma of Pop lead the band to the irreversible vision of overproduced/overwrote songs over and over until today. The magic of Pop was exactly the opposite: songs that have interesting production techniques but that are raw as songs, that show the songs in its pure forms (maybe "Miami" or "Please" were underworked, but "Gone" or "Mofo" were a nice painiting mixing raw with heavy).

[@vanillacaffelatte]

@@Zontar82 100% fact

[@jlwilder8436]

Basically, Zontar82 & vanillacaffelatte, it isn't even that they went "downhill" from there... It's more of a choice that they seemed to make that pleased many millions and bothered many of (the rest of) us, which was: easy/predictable "popularity". They were unique & cool & exciting in the 90s (their 30s) and by 2000 they each had tremendous wealth and fame (Bono especially), and rather than saying that for that reason alone they could 'afford' to keep going in new/original directions creatively, they would get rid of the effects, the experimentations, and competing with a fearlessly adventurous band like Radiohead and happily settle for commercial success and lots of radio PLAY and leaving all of 'us' to reminisce about U2 USE TO be, while going back to satisfy their fans from the 80s who didn’t go along for the ride in the 90s. (We'll always have: Passengers, and Pop, and Zooropa!}; )

Love the fact that Larry is like 'are you serious' and smiling at the end :D

This is the song that I knew U2 almost 25 years ago, they blew my mind

[@klausder1395]

U2 is Magic..

[@TheFly212]

Last time U2 were very brave and interesting to be honest. And I'm a huge U2 fan. POP was simply amazingly over the top and crazy. Popmart equally so. Embrace the lunacy of it all!!!!

[@pioneernut7487]

They were one of the Best groups in1997. Now its a parody

[@federicomacagno]

Bono is enjoying this a lot 🕺

[@francescomontanino]

POP has been an epic album! It was 1997 when I’ve heard this song for the first time but when I hear it, it’s ever fantastic! Let’s go…..discotheque…..❤

[@xafi85]

Goosebumps... what a song man! Can't believe I was 12yo when this was released. Still same excitement when listening to it...

[@davidludwig6653]

I saw them on tour that year, big outdoor stadium, and when they played this song it brought the house down

WHAT A SONG

[@thejonner2036]

You play this now blind (as it were) to a bunch of 20 year olds and they'd lose their fucking minds at how terrific it is. If only U2 had followed artistic rather than commercial impulses, they'd still be the most creatively fascinating band in the world.

Agreed but some of their post 2000 songs are solid gold too....bd elevation vertigo sycmioyo cobl magnificent raised by wolves the blackout invisible red flag day

@@habibhussain825 There's plenty of post 2000 stuff I like (and don't like), but to me (and it's all just opinion), they've just been playing it safe for the past 20 years.

[@habibhussain825]

@@thejonner2036 in comparison to their 90s output yes, but I disagree with the naysayers about writing off their post 2000 stuff. Plenty of gems there for the untrained ear...

[@bestcoastsxmcp]

Still a Top 5 song of theirs for me, and I've been following them since 1984. 😂❤🎉😅

[@Jonsoar]

Used to play this album in a tape boom box on the seat of my 88 chevy truck on my way to my lifeguarding job at Tomahawk Lake in Sparta NJ in 1997-1999. Great memories😃

[@davidcarr-hl9jz]

Cracking song - you don't hear it enough 👍

[@julioarmandobriceno5967]

It's incredible how underrated this album is... ¡masterpiece!

[@siralphons6762]

The ending is great 😂🎩🌹

[@Crisis.Knight]

Excellent! Please, don't forget "Hold me, thrill me, kiss me, kill me" in HD. Thanks a lot for all the videos.

[@cristianbuccinobayona383]

U2 Forever!!

[@wishicouldshowmyname5815]

Only way they could continue their reign. Reinvent themselves, and they did. and again, and again. etc.

[@jonathonletts8972]

Underrated album IMHO..

[@anngulliver5964]

Ahhh... This is a forgotten classic.

[@stephanem.2921]

I saw the pop show in Montpellier with friends… it was… epic. Big crowd, big screen and all the members at the top. Thanx U2.

[@HughezyEntertainment]

give us an OFFICIAL Popmart live album!!!

Larry’s embarrassment laugh near the end made the whole video

[@MrAndreCoutinho]

This is the first U2 video I remember watching, there was a tv special showcasing the album and tour announcement with a brief band history recap. I was 13 at the time and had no idea who they were and was in awe. I also remember the Kmart pocket show where they played Holy Joe and also remember watching the Pop Mart tour live on MTV when they came to São Paulo in 1998. Those were great times!
