"Miami" is the eighth track from U2's 1997 album, Pop. Featuring a reversed drum beat and an unsettling sonic atmosphere, "Miami" is the most non-traditional song they have yet produced, along with "Mofo."[citation needed]
When it was played live on the Popmart tour, lead singer Bono donned a carnival hawker's costume outfit and guitarist The Edge added an extra guitar part to the chorus of "Miami". Pictures of now-dead celebrities, such as Marilyn Monroe, were flashed on the giant screen behind the band while they played this song. Invariably, Bono picked a female member of the audience to come on stage and dance with him towards the song's end which then led into their next number, "Bullet the Blue Sky."
In 2005, Q magazine included the song "Miami" in a list of "Ten Terrible Records by Great Artists."
