Not a poll, I mean it could be a poll but I cannot be bothered.

Wait, not Stop In The Name Of Love.  I am thinking of The Supremes though.  One of those other ones.  The one that goes ... you just keep me hangin on... wooooooo-ooo...

There aren't any, he's trolling / having a laugh.

I am not trolling although I suppose I am having a (mediocre) laugh.  The song I alluded to (I realised it is not Stop In The Name of Love though) does bear a similarity to the tune of Vertigo, just that U2 tried to be garage rock.

It's this one.


In place of set me free why don't you babe, mentally picture hello hello, I'm in a place called.....

Trolling, my arse.

Some parts sound similar to Vertigo, but there are thousands of songs out there that have bits and pieces that sound similar to other songs.


Vertigo of course was originally Native Son
