On this very helpful page will list the abbreviations for every single U2 song and their full title names, in alphabetical order

eg:

ABOY-All Because of You
...
...
WTSHNN- Where the Streets Have no Name

etc.

Honesly, some people think everyone understands their weird abbreviations at the snap of the finger. Or maybe they're just to lazy to type the full title out..

Maybe a thread where people can contribute and make a definitive list. Then maby the thread can get stickyed.

This seems like a great idea.

Chizip, you do NOT want to catch a case of Viva Davidoff - that stuff will make your hair fall out and lips turn purple....not to mention shrinking certain body parts. :no:

Sorry, I got side tracked.....I think this list is a great idea however, many of these songs rarely if ever come up into conversation so maybe we don't need the entire list.
