"Party Girl" started life hidden away on a U2 B-side, tucked behind the non-album single "A Celebration" in the gap between October and War, under the longer, stranger title "Trash, Trampoline and the Party Girl". The songwriting is credited to all four members: Bono, the Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jr.
Next to the band's big, earnest statements of the time it's a scrappy, grinning thing, a throwaway that refused to be thrown away, and over the years it turned into a live favourite with the fans.
