"There's nothing wrong with U2. As far as I'm concerned, I've stolen from Larry Mullen's career for years. Without Larry, I wouldn't be able to stomp and sing, it'd be difficult. I mean I owe debts to the Bhundu Boys, Larry Mullen, Stewart Copeland. They're good players, and they're great songwriters" - Gary "Reni" Wren, drummer, The Stone Roses reunion press conference, 18/10/2011

"I'd just like to put on record that that's bobbins" - Ian Brown, singer, ditto

The Kraftwerk original is great, the U2 cover is great. TBH, I didn't know SM covered it

To tell you the truth, I didn't even realise it was a cover until quite recently. I'd assumed it was a U2 original that didn't make it onto ATYCLB or HTDAAB.
