The Co-Opting of 'One' by Bank of America

Idolator is one my favorite music blogs for about a million reasons. Today, it provided my favorite U2 song redo of the moment, replacing the whole "Sunday Bloody Sunday" mishmash. Just remember... "MBNA is B of Aaaaaaay." This is a must see, and afterwards, the sentiment you're struggling for is "Oh. My. God" and, if applicable, "Maybe it's time to join Wachovia."

More here.

oh my.

it wouldn't be half so bad if the dude wasn't taking himself so seriously!

 

[U2democrat]

Oh God...

 

[mskitkat]

I dont know what to say to this, except, oh God also.

 

[mkdominatr]

Is this a corporate try at fun or embarassment? IM embarassed for all the people in the crowd having to sit through that.

 

[perrypickwick]

that was perhaps the most bizarre thing I ever saw connected to U2.
I wonder what Bono would say to this Version.

thanks for the Link

 

[speedracer]

Somebody owes me a new keyboard.

The sad thing is that the guy actually has a pretty good voice, too.

 

[HelloAngel]

I'm so glad you guys are "enjoying" this. I saw it and knew you had to see it!

 

[U2democrat]

Yeah thanks for sharing.......i think.......

 

[Canadiens1131]

[Lemon Grrrrrl]

 

[silvrlvr]

All together now:

OMG!

It's like a bad episode of the Simpsons. It's parody upon parody.

 

[scottyT]

[redkat]

The people watching look stunned. I think I would have peed my pants if i'd been there

 

[tanner_sis]

LMFAO!!! That is so going in the bookmarks..that is ..nothing can get any worse than that..and HAHA he was practically foreplaying with the mic stand there a few times .. This video is sick!

 

[u2girlcj]

The wave of nausea has subsided and I can heartily say, thank goodness I don't bank there anymore.

 

[sue4u2]

As if that wasn't bad enough, I saw it on VH1's Best Week Ever, this morning.
I say "cease and desist" already.

 

[Bono's shades]

I am so glad I don't bank at Bank of America.

That is all.

[reneedo]

Wow, that was uncomfortable. I wonder if that guy knows he's all over the internet now?

 

[jinn77]

he does have a pretty god voice, next stop Pop Idol?

 

[indra]

I just thought it was kind of dull.

 

[Tarvark]

I actually thought it was funny in a good way.

 

[bugo]

Best song in the world and he wipes his hairy capitalist ass all over it.

Sonuvabitch!

 

[u2wildhoney]

Best song in the world and he wipes his hairy capitalist ass all over it.

Sonuvabitch!

I agree, it is disgusting to use this beautiful song for celebrating bank fusion...
These two guys are awkward assholes
