"There was something I meant to do today..." Phone-call

[The_Edge89]

Hi Plebans!
I'm looking for the phonecall from Bono to someone called Kim (I think).

It was on my old computer and then it crashed and I lost it.
I remember that I got it from here, so I hope that you can help me out.

So, if anyone has still got it, please upload it for me.

Google can work wonders sometimes.
I found it again!

Kim
It’s Bono
Um
I got a message to call you I think
You’ve got something on this evening
And I’ve just been asleep in bed
And I woke up and I thought
There’s something I meant to do today
And I think it was you
Into the heart
So um guess it must be too late
(yawns) oh boy
I’m talking in my sleep here
Um
But what I will do is I’ll call tomorrow
I think it’s Saturday and Sunday everybody’s getting together
So maybe we can set up something for tomorrow
Um
I’ll call around lunchtime tomorrow

*In Macphisto character*
(sings) Into the heart of a child, I can stay a while
(MacPhisto drawl) Oh yes…oh yes
Bono can stay a while my ass
Hello boys
Hello girls
Macphisto here
Innocence has turned to experience
And you? Decadence?
Oh no, you wouldn’t know the meaning of the word
I, on the other hand know rather a lot about this subject
Which I do believe has something to do with the sweet aroma of spoiled opportunity
That’s where I am right now
And I’m just about to taste a bit

That was great, but I'm really confused..what's it all about?? That voice

 

[thankyou]

That was great, but I'm really confused..what's it all about?? That voice

from the link I got this:

"Got the story behind it though - Kim is a woman who organized the toronto U2 fan get-together and Bono called her up as MacPhisto so she could play it for everyone at the event."

i'm not clear on the date/year. Was it november 2004? Does anyone know? I wasn't at all aware that Bono still keeps MacPhisto popping up every now and then... I kind of had the image that He was a part of the Zooropa era, and then disappeared with it.

Yes it's true. "MacPhisto" called Kim and got her voicemail lol. He called us for the second annual inTO the Heart Fan Fest in 2004. Go to our site; on the left sidebar you can download the mp3 and hear it for yourself

Ahh I see now, thanks! I'd never heard anything about that. I want Bono to call me!!!

 

[DreamOutLoud13]

That is so awesome! I love how sleepy he sounds in the first one, it's so cute!
And then he wakes up a bit and calls back 14 minutes later as MacPhisto XD

I always wondered about those reported times. He was just SO wasted in the first call, and says he'll call back the next day, and then just a few minutes later he's alert enough to manage MacPhisto.

it's so funny that this was the day that HTDAAB leaked on the internet!!!!!

 

[michelleontheair]

Yes, absolutely amazing times. Proves once again that Bono is indeed a prince among men... name another other rock star that calls a bunch of fans for their party?

We'll see you guys at the next annual ITH fan fest

This is awesome
Can you imagine your checking your voice mail and suddenly there's a message from BONO!!!

"There’s something I meant to do today
And I think it was you"

I think I would die.

His voice is so cute and sexy in the first message
and I love Macphisto

I think I just died a little...

I want to wake up that voice too!

I will so be at the next one. I'm sad I missed this years

Oh I remember that evening well. Kim was in the other cab because there were a bunch of us heading to the Opera House. Suddenly Kim gets this look on her face, our cabs are stopped at a red light, she yells something at us like "Bono called me!" and we're like "WHAT?!?!" then the cabs start up again - we all start freaking out at eachother, it was insane.

Thanks for the memories man.
