Studio Version(5:19) Pop Album(1997) Written By U2/Bono & The Edge Directed by Frenchman Stéphane Sednaoui, the band performed in atmosphere approximating the inside of a mirrorball. They alluded to several elements of the disco era, including disco-style dancing and the film Saturday Night Fever. U2 further and directly alluded to the Village People, a popular disco era band, by similarly adopting the guises of various professions: a motorcycle police officer (Bono), a gay-fetish biker (The Edge), an American sailor (Adam Clayton), and a cowboy (Larry Mullen, Jr.). en.wikipedia.org 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, discothèque. Go, go, let go, discothèque. 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, discothèque …

@officialmer and yet, Pop music today is so overrated… for example Lady Gaga.. Wtf.. This song is not that pop to me anyhow…
@nswhorse The new version of this song is pure crap just like all the other new version of Pop songs on the best of 90-00 album.
The remix on the greatest hits CD is vastly superior.
@CilVine Because they’re shit.

This is probably my favourite U2 song. Don’t really like their videos but this one was fine because the setting is so cool. Unfortunately, the Village People cameo at the end would have the orginal group cringing because Bono and company just don’t have a single dance move(they can’t even dance) thats cool enough. The POP album is excellent, though. I’ve heard so much criticism being levelled at U2 for years, so can someboy tell me why they’ve been so successful?
underrated song. Awesome groove. Too bad the “Pop” album wasn’t so great.
that edge fucker is bald
great
@YouCantDeleteDenzelL Absolutly U2 as it best.
WE DEMAND U2 POP SECOND PART
BEST album from U2, no doubt,just hearing the crap they doing today is to painfull.
Bono is sooo sexy in this vid!!
@5456hsb Discotheque is French, and it is a borrowed word into English. We don’t use the word commonly in American English.
hahah it’s funny to see larry going so shy
BOOM cha. Discotheque!
Larry ponele un poco de onda viejo.
@revol0102 he certainly does give it his all!
@Artty44 Bono seems to be a more talented thruster than the others… looks like he really gets into it
In-tell-ect ne-glect re-sur-rect …. discotheque.
BOOM cha…
sure i saw Larry smirking when Bono does the big thrust at the end lol great song and vid
This is, and always will be, my favorite U2 song of all time.
Pop is such an underrated album. This and Mofo are the best songs IMO, not to mention the beautiful “Staring at the Sun” and “If You Wear That Velvet Dress”!
