    I knew Sexy Boots was a working title/demo....it seemed too odd from U2. Plus the fact that they're nearing 50 would be quite wierd as well.

    I wonder / really really hope that what we hear as "sexy boots" is actually some beautiful Arabic or Moroccan word that means something with more depth.

    Or, it could just be Sexy Boots and nothing more.

    (But I hope not.)

    Hmm...so: Shark Soup --> Full Metal Jacket--> Native Son--> Vertigo.
    And I think I read in U2 by U2 that the very first Until the End of the World was called Fat Boy. *makes note to check tonight*
    All of this is giving me hope that the song will not be called what we've been calling it.

    Fat Boy is not that bad...

    But I think U2 will consider themselves that 'sexy boots' sounds not that good

    The riff from UTEOTW, according to Edge, was something Bono came up with from a recording dubbed Fat Boy, indeed . Fat Boy >> UTEOTW, tis a big leap - here's hoping Sexy Boots is another such idea lol.
