"Frank Sinatra just blew me away. Actually, me and Edge wrote a tune called 'Two Shots Of Happy, One Shot Of Sad.' We made a drinks cabinet shrine to Frank that when you open it plays that song! We've never released it... I sent it to him for his 80th birthday, full orchestra, the whole thing. Quite an indulgence." - Bono, NME 1997


This song was written by Bono for Frank Sinatra in 1992. It is a jazzy lounge song written in the style of Sinatra's music. This performance was recorded live by Bono and the Edge in a London studio for Sinatra's 80th birthday. It was played for Sinatra in the United States at a televised birthday tribute on 19 November 1995 and was likely recorded a few days earlier. It has a string arrangement by Craig Armstrong.

Although Frank Sinatra never got a chance to record it himself, his daughter, Nancy Sinatra, cut a version for her 2004 album Nancy Sinatra. U2's Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen, Jr. play bass and drums respectively for the track (interestingly, they did not appear on the original recording). Sinatra changes the pronouns in the lyrics from a first-person perspective to a third-person, presumably to refer to her father.

Strange Fruit - Robert Wyatt

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strange_Fruit



Southern trees bear strange fruit,
Blood on the leaves and blood at the root,
Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze,
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees.

Pastoral scene of the gallant south,
The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth,
Scent of magnolias, sweet and fresh,
Then the sudden smell of burning flesh.

Here is fruit for the crows to pluck,
For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck,
For the sun to rot, for the trees to drop,
Here is a strange and bitter crop.
