"The Playboy Mansion" is the ninth track from U2's 1997 album, "Pop". Its only appearance in concert on the PopMart Tour was as a snippet at the end of "Where the Streets Have No Name." It appears on the band's PopHeart Live EP in this fashion.
It is the subject of a chapter in the book "Get Up Off Your Knees: Preaching the U2 Catalog". The writer suggests the lyrics are using fame and fortune as a metaphor for Christian salvation.
