Trivia
Interesting facts about Discotheque. By Songfacts.
"Discotheque" was U2's first experiment with electronica. Disc jockey Howie B put together the backing track. It was a popular song in dance clubs, but baffled many of U2's fans.
"'Discotheque' is a riddle about love," Bono explained in the book U2 by U2. "Once you know that, it changes the way you hear the song. 'You can reach but you can't grab it, you can't hold it, control it, you can't bag it.'"
This was the first single from Pop, an album dedicated to their friend Bill Graham. Graham, who co-founded Hot Press magazine, died on May 11, 1996 at age 44.
