U2's "Vertigo"

I've heard alot of people talking about how good this song is, and it's a decent song, I have one problem with it. It's a rip job of the Supremes' "You Keep Me Hanging On"! Am I the only one who noticed this?

When I saw that I asked myself in disbelief "Is this really a new U2 song?!" Total suckage.

I like the style. Very different from their previous stuff. Good, high-energy stuff.

Oh no! One of the world's most successful and richest rock bands are selling out! Time to burn all my U2 albums.

I want to know how such a big band could go through all the steps of writing and recording that song and nobody notice that the spanish is wrong.

Somehow, I don't think that they are being serious with the Spanish in this song... just a hunch. I like the energy of it though.
As an English speaking human, I welcome any Spanish speaking band to have similar fun with my language.
Nice big wide-open bass sound from Mr. Clayton!!!

Atrocious? I think that it harkens back to the sound that he had on the first three records. It is a powerful slightly out-of-control sound that I think works well in the song. I actually LIKE these types of sounds. At least it isn't just another Warwick swimming in a sea of low mids.
