I come to profess my love for Zooropa

[Moser]

Zooropa. What a fucked up title.

The album is my fix

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Daddys Gonna Pay For Your Crashed Car

 

[cobl04]

Oh okay. I never bothered dissecting it in that fine detail, lol. All I know is it's Zooropa... like Europa.

Daddy's Gonna Pay is one of the many reasons why ZooTV kicks ass. Though "I fell in love in Chicago...listening to Miles Davis..." comes pretty fucking close.

It's amazing what you can do with a couple drinks in you.

They should have never attempted to "play" that song live... I remember watching that and thinking how embarassing

 

[Zoots]

Why embarrassing? Cos he is just sitting there and doing nothing? It did look a bit odd but I wasn't embarrassed by it. It's something different from the typical band format.

But yeah the song was made for the studio! At least the video has a bunch of cool stuff happening. There is no need to play it live.

 

[BVS]

Why embarrassing?

It was the equivelant of Britney coming out and just singing over a backing track, except it was worse, he just mumbled... Oh, my friends gave me hell for that the next day.

 

[Zoots]

he just mumbled

Well... he mumbled cos... that's how he sings that song on the record! He can't exactly shout it out like Pride In The Name Of Love now, can he? lol.

But yeah, the performance is like a total opposite of how a live show should be. The song was definitely not made to be performed on stage.

Well that's my point. It's one thing to sing to a backing track and actually sing, but to sing to a backing track that only requires mumbling? He should have done what the rest of the band did and not have shown up... There were so many great tracks on Zooropa that they could have performed live.

Love it!

Lemon
Stay
Zooropa
Numb

I'm hooked on Lemon at the moment. Stay is incredible, lyrics, vocals - masterpiece! Oh and if we are voting, I vote One Tree Hill.

I love this place!

There is some humor in it as well. "Look at me I'm addicted to TV!"

I get that... But there's a dozen other ways to have pulled off the same irony and humor...
