U2 lyrics you sing wrong

[Lobe]

In Spain we have a radio show that plays with those errors with the lyrics..... they called them the "Momento Teniente" and they are really funny....

U2 have two classic "momentos teniente".... the first is in One... when it looks like Bono is saying in Spanish "te traigo pasta" (It means "I bring you pasta" )

The second one is in "Staring at the sun" when it looks like Bono's saying "hoy vi tu culo y quizas hoy Nacho está fatal" (which means "today I saw your ass and now maybe Nacho feels terrible" )

I hope I explained it ok....

He did sing it "Sparkle" during the Vertigo tour, so you're really not wrong.

I hear 'bacon and haaaaaaam' at that exact spot!

In Kite, it's not a major difference, but I always hear, 'And somewhere I can taste the salty sea' rather than 'in summer'.

COBL, I heard the last lines as, 'Lessons not just for the ones who need it, luckily.'

LAPOE's bridge I still don't know without the lyrics, but generally it goes something like this:
Baby don't fight
We can this thing through
With me, me and you
I call on you for
The tv is still on etc

And that's not even half of it, but I can't remember the rest of them

"See the stone set in your eyes, see the thorn twist in your side" is a reference to what happened to Paul after meeting Jesus on the road to Damascas in the book of Acts, in the bible. In a thread some months back, I pointed out all the biblical references in that song, and I think I might have ruined it for some people. Really, I wish I hadn't noticed all the references in the first place, they ruined it just a little for me too


My current favourite missung lyric is from A Sort of Homecoming:

"No fuckin' words, just a scream!"

I actually thought that's what Bono was saying the first time I heard it, and I was like Bono used the F word in the mid-80s!

[EdgeIsTooSexy]

lol
i thought he said 'im marrying rape' in staring at the sun

Vertigo.

Real lyrics:
I'm at a place called Vertigo.

What I hear/sing:
May I please go Vertigo?

No matter how much I tell myself that, I end up singing wrong every single time.

I was just thinking about the Electric Coaster mistake, and I've decided to take out a patent. I think electric coasters would be very useful, like little hotplates to keep your coffee warm in the mug!

[BonosLil'Pal94]

electric coaster?

[Varitek]

earlier pages...from Electrical Storm. It stuck with me after I read it cause it's hilariously nonsenseical, so whenever I listen to Electrical Storm I think about it....seriously I should go down to a patent lawyer tomorrow.

The cool of the night
The warmth of the breeze

I always sing that too

The worst one for me is in Hawkmoon 269:

Real line: Like someone to blame, like a thought unchained

What I think: Like summer in a flame, like a soup to strain

[cinnaminson]

I had no idea what the first part was but I always heard"like a sheet stain".
