In agreement there.Unless it's a dedication to The Edge and a reworking of "You Can Keep Your Hat On"

i've got male intuition
i've got sexual ambition
i'm the last of a great tradition

it's all just because
the show must go on
what else can i do?
i'm gonna drop the lot on you!
boom-boom ... sugar ... dee-dee-dee
sugar daddy

sugar daddy

if you read the michka assayas book bono in conversation (aka bono on bono), you might recall that at one point in the book, bono sings/recites the above lyrics to michka. it is during a passage when michka is asking bono if, as a boy, he recalls ever having heard his mother sing. he says no, but he remembers watching tom jones on tv with her. and then bono goes on to say that he and simon carmody have been writing a song for tom jones called sugar daddy. (this conversation between michka and bono took place in may, 2004.)

so, i'm not saying those are the lyrics, but ... as you may have heard, bono and edge "guest" on the upcoming tom jones album, on a track called sugar daddy. the official news release says: "Bono and the Edge of U2 contribute and play guitar on a brand new song, Sugar Daddy, written specifically for Jones and inspired by a meeting of the friends in a pub in Dublin."

i think we can assume that the lyrics and song have changed a bit since 2004, but you've also gotta think it'll have the flavor of the above.

bono also told michka way back when that this song has got a "really amazing bass part, which goes boo-boo-bom boo-boo-boo-bom."

Was that in the Irish embassy in Bagdad or something? Looks like he's wearing army-clothing.
