Pump Up Your Boots?
Is it just me, or do the verses of the new U2 song “Get On Your Boots” bare more than just a passing similarity to Elvis Costello’s “Pump It Up”?
Look, listen, then leave a comment and let me know if I’m just crazy or if I may be onto something here.
Happy Sunday, friends.

You are not wrong. It’s an unfortunate mix of that song, some Dylan, and horrible Alice In Chains vocal stylings.
