U2 – Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill MeYou may not know that Joel Schumacher wanted Bono from U2 to be a cameo character in the Batman Forever movie from 1995. He was creating a character, MacPhisto, for Bono to be in the film and while Bono was quite agreeable, they couldn’t make it work and then both agreed it wasn’t right for the movie anyway.
Instead, U2 offered a song that was written and partially recorded during the sessions for the ‘Zooropa’ album. “Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me” was the single that made the soundtrack and it topped the chart in their home country of Ireland and several others. Here in the U.S., it peaked at #16 on the Hot 100.
