lol...i love the title now but when i first heard it I laughed out loud, i was like, "that's totally something Bono would say"
I've loved the song since the first time I heard it and hated the title as equally long. Originally posted by dieder[..]

We definitely need an album outtake list (for future references). Anyone wanna contribute if I get it started tomorrow with a decent list?
And it went Full Metal Jacket > ? > Shark Soup > Native Son > Vertigo, from memory. I'll have to check.

That's a great idea. I'll help wherever needed.
Wasn't Vertigo also called Bulldozer at one point? Or was that from ATYCLB era?

Bulldozer was from ATYCLB, and Larry supposedly played bass on it

what?
Originally posted by markp91[..]
It says so...On 'home' at 'Did you know' it said that Larry played bass on the beginning of Zooropa...
Originally posted by yeahWell, to me "Sexy Boots" as a song title doesn't sound worse than "40", "The Fly", "Lemon", "Kite" or "A man and a woman" - or "Achtung Baby" for an album...
But I'm with those who say it's only a working title...

I for one love "Achtung Baby" as an album title.
but if they do call it "Sexy Boots", it better be a damn good song...
Or Sexy Woods, almost the same pronunciation. Originally posted by MWSAH[..]
Maybe it is Sexy Boats, who knows...

Bungling Bono is blamed for leaked U2 tracks
BONO should be more careful about where and when he decides to blare out tracks from his band’s new album.
The U2 rock lord has been stung by a cheeky holidaymaker who overheard the singer indulging his own ego last week.
Most families have a bit of Club Tropicana by WHAM! rattling out of a tinpot stereo on their hols.
But the music idol is quite rightly proud of his abilities and was playing tracks from the Oirish band’s eagerly awaited new release.
The fan couldn’t believe it as he strolled along the beach by Bono’s palatial villa in the South of France when he heard that famous voice thundering out the windows.
And the savvy passerby was sharp enough to record what he heard then race home to stick the clips on YouTube.
The band have recently put the finishing touches to their first studio album in four years.
Universal Music Group, which owns the band’s Interscope label, have registered the domain name No Line On The Horizon — suggesting that will be the CD title.
It sounds like a self-help book BRITNEY SPEARS might read.
Four songs have been posted including the title track and Sexy Boots, which will be the first single.
The other two leaked tracks are thought to be called Moment Of Surrender and For Your Love.
Super producer and long-time U2 collaborator DANIEL LANOIS, who has produced the album with BRIAN ENO, reckons it’s the best he has ever recorded with the band.
He said: “I think we can safely say it’s one of the great, innovative records from U2. Bono’s in great form, singing fantastic.”
I’ve heard the leaked tracks and it definitely sounds like a return to form.
Their last album, How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb, was great — as was the Vertigo Tour — so they have a lot to live up to.
The album is pencilled in for release in November with Sexy Boots strutting its stuff a couple of weeks before.
The names of several other tracks on the album have also been leaked and include Love Is All We Have Left, One Bird, If I Could Live My Life Again and The Cedars of Lebanon.
Bono is notoriously secretive about new material.
You’d think one of the richest men in rock would have a pair of decent headphones.
