U2 lyrics you sing wrong

[LoveandLogic]

For years I've been singing:

"Your love is like a cigarette that's been passed around."


I think my metaphor is way better.

That's awesome.

 

[ElectricalStorm]

"If you wok a whale, wok a whale, wok a whale, wok a whale... I will follow"

I always knew it was 'walk away', but I just can't hear that


"Jesus can you take the time to throw a drowning man online"

Ehh...

 

[AnCatKatie]

"If you wok a whale, wok a whale, wok a whale, wok a whale... I will follow"

Oh no!

 

[EdmontonU22011]

I've always thought it said "one man in the name of love" until I read this.... Makes more sense now .

 

[TheEdge25]

I always though Edge was singing "Ultraviolet light" while Bono sang "Ullltraaavioooolleeeett". I know now they both just say Ultraviolet, but I still like to do Edge's awesome voice as "ultraviolet light"

 

[TheEdge25]

Wild Honey:

Misheard - "Edge is blowing in the breeze"
Correct - "Yeah, just blowing in the breeze"

Although, I think during the few performances of the song, Bono actually sang the misheard one, because it was just he and Edge on the song..

Mofo:

Misheard - "Little red dress, little red dress"
Correct - "Bring it round the front, bring it round the back"

This line screwed over my entire child hood.

 

[Hewson4life]

Beautiful Day:
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
See the Bedouin fires at night


I thought it was:
See the tulip fields clearing the seeds out
See the big ruined fires at night

Bono's version makes a lot more sense

 

[Galeongirl]

Mofo:

Misheard - "Little red dress, little red dress"
Correct - "Bring it round the front, bring it round the back"

This line screwed over my entire child hood.

It's actually "been around back, been around front", according to the official liner notes. It's quite audible.

 

[TheEdge25]

It's actually "been around back, been around front", according to the official liner notes. It's quite audible.

Oh okay, well I guess I've been singing it wrong two different ways now!

 

[Galeongirl]

Another addition to the thread!

 

[beachball]

In Bad, instead of "through alcohol" I keep hearing "throughout the hall" although it makes no sense

 

[Galeongirl]

Doncha mean UF? This thread keeps getting more awesome.

 

[beachball]

Ha ha, now I don't know Bad from UF

And I haven't even been drinking... alcohol

 

[Galeongirl]

You sure you haven't had some red wine? I heard that it punctures the skin.

 

[beachball]

Nope, I only drink red wine, when I'm in a dry and waterless place

 

[TheEdge25]

This is one of the best threads in the history of Interference

 

[DesiresFire27]

Whenever I would hear the lyrics "eatting from a can" I thought Bono was singing "stealing from a cat"...lol Slaps forhead

 

[DesiresFire27]

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!

I used to think he said Electric Coaster..lol I guess that sounds better than electric toaster. I think an Electric coaster is a grand idea

 

[Hewson4life]

I'm happy to learn I'm not the only one who hears weird words in the songs.

Oh, the patent idea sounds promising, especially if it had pics. of U2 on them.

 

[U217]

"ONCE more in the name of love"

and instead of Edge's singing "Ultraviolet love" in the background of Ultraviolet, I usually sing "Ultraviolet ray" for some reason .

Also, I havent gone through this entire thread so Im not sure if its already been posted, but I feel obligated to place this fantastic video here:

YouTube - ‪U2 - Misheard Lyrics‬‏

"Shamu the mysterious whale" and "bacon bacon bacon and haaammm" are my personal favorites

Laughing so hard here right now. The pictures just make that whole presentation.

I don't hear "dressed up like a cockroach" for "dressed up like a car crash." I hear...something...else...but it's dirty and I'm not going to say it on a family friendly board. HINT: it would be itchy, probably.

[DesiresFire27]

Thanks for the video ^ that was really funny!

 

[bono_man2002]

Hillarious!

I did think the lyric to wild honey was "edge is blowing in the breeze" I think it sounded much more like that in the live versions, it made sense when it was an acoustic track with just Bono & Edge.
