About This Track
The third track on the 1997 album Pop and the last single to be released from it on December 1997. The most overtly “techno” track on the record, there are many samples, loops and a keyboard bass instead of the usual guitar. The band opened every single PopMart Tour show with it and they also performed it live at the 1997 MTV Video Music Awards.
It is, like the rest of the record, quite a heavy track, full of menace and punch. Bono’s very personal lyrics lament his mother who passed away when he was in his teens, and, like alot of other U2 songs, has religious undertones. No other artists samples were used in this track, all loops, samples and beats were created by the band and their producers.
The single (Mofo Remixes) has a variety of remixes by producers such as Roni Size and Romin; several different versions of the single were released on vinyl and CD. Also the electronica band Underworld recorded a remix but this was never released; information on that can be found here.

This song is strange - it's almost techno-ish (one of the few songs on Pop that actually could be considered "dance music") but the lyrics are pretty depressing. It works though. They need to play this live again.

This is the musical equivalent of the Mood Whiplash/Dissonance that happened during the Zoo TV Tour when they'd throw in satellite links from Bosnia...

There also a really awesome remix of it (Phunk Force mix), a kinda deep house mix, on the single. Excellent.
