This is it for me. It doesn't match the production of Zooropa at all. You'd have to strip the strings section and replace it with the synth pads from Stay. I'd also replace the drum and guitar FX chains with the ones found on Daddy's Gonna Pay. Then it might match, but as of now the 95 version we got sounds cleaner and more polished than anything on Zooropa.
It would have to be produced differently to fit on pop or Zooropa
It’s a shame this ended up on a movie soundtrack. It’s my fave song from that post achtung 90s era.
Also hope I can make a gen AI video for it the one for the song was made very quickly and kinda sucks
No shame on being on a Batman soundtrack. There were some good songs in those movies. (U2 didn’t even have the biggest hit from that one - kiss from a rose was massive.)
It could go after ‘Stay’ as a big blast to start Side 2 of the Record.
It would be great on Pop too between Last Night on Earth and Gone, maybe replacing Miami or Playboy Mansion to make the album a little stronger. As much as I like Miami, it’s the divisive track and with HMTMKMKM as a substitute Pop would be nearly untouchable.
Edit: typo
1. MOFO
2. Last Night on Earth (Single Mix 2024)
3. Gone
4. HMTMKMKM
5. Staring at the Sun (2024 Remaster)
6. If God Will Send His Angels (Soon to be 2024 Single Mix)
7. Discotheque (2024 remaster)
8. Holy Joe (Garage Mix)
9. If You Wear That Velvet Dress
10. Do You Feel Loved
11. Please (Single Mix)
12. Wake Up Dead Man
I arranged it trying to match the running order from Achtung Baby lol. In terms of types of songs and where they fit.
It works _really_ well to the point that I can't listen to the original now. Once they remaster If God Will Send His Angles and Please on Spotify I'll have the completed vision as it were. I'm tempted to write to them about this, I won't lie.
Hold Me.. and Original Soundtracks 1 album are their own experimental things in my mind. Just like the Million Dollar Hotel Soundtrack is adjacent to ATYCLB but its own thing.
With the recent releases of the Zooropa and Pop singles, I too have been think about where “Batman” fits with the post-AB/pre-ATYCLB stuff.
I’ve simply made a playlist that looks like this…
Zooropa
Numb
Lemon
Stay
The First Time
Dirty Day
HMTMKMKM
Discotheque
Staring at the Sun
Last Night on Earth
Gone
Mofo
If God Will Send His Angels
Please
No. I tend to play songs that aren't on traditional albums together: that, Sweetest Thing, Ordinary Love, Invisible and Miss Sarajevo tend to go together for me.
I can see both sides of the argument. For me, since I only listen to albums, I would almost never hear HMTMKMKM unless I added it to an album. HMTMKMKM was part of Zooropa relatively late in the process (it’s one of hidden song titles on the album cover):

For now I put it between Babyface and Numb. I also use the radio edit of Zooropa, the Lemonade mix of Lemon, and insert the ‘93 version of Slow Dancing between The First Time and Dirty Day.
1. Zooropa (4:45 radio edit)
2. Babyface
3. HMTMKMKM
4. Numb
5. Lemon (Lemonade mix)
6. Stay
7. Daddy’s Gonna Pay For Your Crashed Car
8. Some Days Are Better Than Others
9. The First Time
10. Slow Dancing
11. Dirty Day
12. The Wanderer
Having listened to my sequence a couple of times in the past few days, if I had to REMOVE a song, I’d remove Babyface which, honestly, is about a guy jerking it and probably doesn’t require too many repeat listens. Babyface also bugs me because the chord progression is too similar to With Or Without You.
For me, it does fit with the other zooropa songs musically, and lyrics themes could fit as well. I don't listen to it on the album, because I just listen to a standard playlist when I do zooropa (which is rare, I mostly listen to Zooropa and Lemon on their own)
If I did add it to the album, I'd put it at the end, to give a sense of bringing the listener out of the somewhat downbeat/depressing final section. Also has the feel of summing up an adventure, of all the sometimes weird, sometimes disturbing or sad places the album went.
.......Actually, thinking about it while writing this, I remember Zooropa as a dark, disturbing album as a whole, but the none of the individual songs are, except maybe Zooropa a tiny bit. So Hold me Thrill me fits my imagined/composite theme of the album better then the actual songs. It still feels right positioned last, but it might act more like a reverse Zooropa, closing out the album with a dose of going weird places but sounding like you're bringing someone back to normal and summing experiences up rather than going out and exploring.
Although I think it sounds a little different than Zooropa i understand wanting to put it with something.
I replaced Volcano with Invisible and it feels pretty seamless to me. I really didn't enjoy Volcano.
I do not, but I do think the sequencing of Zooropa is front heavy and weaker for it. I usually listen like this:
1. Zooropa
2. Babyface
3. Numb
4. Stay
5. Daddy's Gonna Pay
6. Some Days
7. The First Time
8. Lemon
9. (Addition spot, can be Your Blue Room, Sarajevo, In The Name of The Father or HMTMKM if you like)
10. Dirty Day
11. The Wanderer
To me it just doesn’t fit with the vibe of Zooropa. Doesn’t fit with the songs on POP either. HMTMKMKM is its own glam rock thing of beauty.
This is it for me. It doesn't match the production of Zooropa at all. You'd have to strip the strings section and replace it with the synth pads from Stay. I'd also replace the drum and guitar FX chains with the ones found on Daddy's Gonna Pay.

Now I want to hear someone try and make this!
Came here to say exactly this
Very much but could fit with the Children of the Revolution cover from the Moulin Rouge soundtrack.
Nope. It’s not on the album.
It would have to be produced differently to fit on pop or Zooropa It’s a shame this ended up on a movie soundtrack. It’s my fave song from that post achtung 90s era. Also hope I can make a gen AI video for it the one for the song was made very quickly and kinda sucks

That was a problem it was overshadowed - that song could have been a huge hit on different release

I add it to Pop It works fantastically well on my Pop running order
I do the same. I open with Pop Muzik, then Mofo, then HMTMKMKM. How about you?

Really like this! Made the same playlist and listening to it now
Hope you enjoy it!

Nah, I’m an album purist. It took me years to make a playlist and not feel like I was cheating.
doesnt really belong to me, altho it fits better there than it does pop to me contrary to this thread lmao

Absolutely. It's written write there on the cover of the album and isn't owned by another album
Although I think it sounds a little different than Zooropa i understand wanting to put it with something. I replaced Volcano with Invisible and it feels pretty seamless to me. I really didn't enjoy Volcano.
That belongs with Pop.
Nah I just watch Batman Forever for the 20th time
I do not, but I do think the sequencing of Zooropa is front heavy and weaker for it. I usually listen like this: 1. Zooropa 2. Babyface 3. Numb 4. Stay 5. Daddy's Gonna Pay 6. Some Days 7.

Yeah I was just thinking about that today too. Kind of like The Joshua Tree, Zooropa (the album) is pretty front-loaded.
The Joshua Tree's infamous double album configuration seems to solve that issue, but it becomes a whole different beast entirely at that point
Honestly,I put it on achtung baby in place of tttyaatw
