OTHER NOTES |
In 1997 a band by the name of the Jeep Grrlz were signed
to Island records, home of U2. This song, Re-Wired, was something
which they were doing in the clubs throughout the UK. Island thought
about suing the band, but chose to sign them and release the song instead.
Island approached U2, and Edge gave the permission to release the song
was given. Island chose to only release the song as a promotional
item. Both a 12" and a CD version of the promo were released.
The song itself samples U2's Wire from The Unforgettable
Fire album. Lyrics from that recording are intermixed with new
vocals, and a dance recording. |
