I thought it was time for me to open a new topic (there has been quite a lot of inspiration around for that!
)...so I thought I'm hitting the big 1000 posts today...hell, let's post something!Just want to thank you all for this great place, I'm only going to thank one person by name, and that's Remy for the fantastic site, others, they know who they are (ow maaan, I really feel like I'm giving on oscar-winner speech!
).Anyways, I've been on the forums for about 4-5 months, and it's been great, I love the place, and let's face it...I'm addicted!
So, I'm becoming Party Girl today (what an honor!
)...and no Dan, it isn't like the fancy Black Cat with that fancy artwork you found and the fancy story behind it! But I'll see what I can dig for ya! >>Originally posted by Wikipedia
"A Celebration" was a non-album single released by U2 between the October and War albums in 1982. It is probably better known for its B-side, "Trash, Trampoline and the Party Girl" (later shortened to "Party Girl"), which has become a fan favorite throughout the years.

trash trampoline is adam clayton, and the party girl is aislinn o'sullivan (the edge's ex-wife). it is a song which, as many people have said, shows u2's sense of humour.

On the 22nd of March, 1983, in London, during the War Tour, Bono told the following to the audience about 1.44 from the end of Party Girl:
This is turing into some kind of party. Don't know what to say. Maybe if I get everyone to sing Party Girl, maybe everybody will go away. You'll wanna sing this?
Hold on a second I'll tell you the words.
Because I sometimes don't know the words. [?] Do I know the words? Jesus, I never know the words.
The words are this: "I know a girl, a girl called party. I know she wants more then a party"
All right? It's easy. Anyone can do it. I made it up on the spot one day, I was in there, in the studio. Edge was playing on the guitar, I said "I know a girl, a girl called party, I know she wants more then a party."
Are you ready? I gonnna cue you, so wait.

When I was three, I thought the world revolved around me
I was wrong
And so I sing along
And if you dance, then dance with me
I know a girl, a girl called Party
Party girl
I know she wants more than a party
Party girl
I know a boy, a boy called Trampoline
You know what I mean
I think I know what he wants
I think I know what he wants
I think I know what you want
I think I know what you want
I think I know what you want
I think I know what you want
I think I know what he wants
And last but not least, this is one hell of an easy song to play on an acoustic guitar, so if you don't know it already, check this place out: http://www.guitaretab.com/u/u2/19958.html
I'm busy with exams (as you can see!), if not, I would play and record it for the occasion!
Sorry for the long useless post crew people, and thanks for having me! See you around!
Anyway, congrats and I hope you'll stay with us for a long, long time.
