U2 have to Find what You're Looking for

The past week has been filled with U2 songs, with quite a few of them being from their 1988 "Rattle and Hum" album; alternate versions of some of their biggest hits.

While U2 have many captivating songs, my particular favourite is "I still haven't found what I'm looking for".

I remember one occasion when the results of a general election had been announced (I think it was 1995 or 1999) and Lim Kit Siang had once again failed to lead the DAP to victory in Penang. The Fly Guy spun this song over the air waves and dedicated the song to Lim Kit Siang (LKS) who 'still hasn't found what he's looking for' i.e. winning the state of Penang. It was either crowing or poignant, depending on where you stood on the political divide.

Of course, things are much changed now, with LKS's son Lim Guan Eng being the Chief Minister of Penang and the DAP leading the PR coalition in governing Penang.

In any case, the Rattle and Hum version of this song is quite different from the original version in that it features a full church choir.
