Back when U2's "Get On Your Boots" came out, everyone with ears could tell that the song sounded a hell of a lot like Elvis Costello's "Pump It Up." Apparently that wasn't lost on U2, who performed a mashup of the two songs with Elvis on on his Spectacle program. They managed to make both songs seem worse, which is a technical achievement, in and of itself. [Stereogum]
