Beautiful Day Is Labour's New Election Song!!

[afc1903]

Saw it on BBC News last night. What a disgrace. I can't believe U2 are letting them use their song. Every time i hear that song its gonna f*cking remind me of tony blair's cheesy smiley face telling us a load of sh*t about how great its gonna be!!

Its one thing for U2 to support amnesty international and the fight against global poverty, its another thing to side with political parties!!

What are they doing!!

Am in the only one annoyed by this??

Good move

Yeh, but lets hope that they stop them using the song instead of just being silent about the situation.

Good move

They have to remain impartial, I think U2 are changing again, I think now really the tour will be great and the next album will deliver all the goods, the Grammies will incite them to move on from here and experiment, the fort is built time to move out the troops

Labour better hope that the song brings them better luck than it brought John Kerry.

ahahaha, right on, knox! It surprised me when Kerry used it, since Bono said it was a very zen song about somebody who's lost everything, and so it couldn't really get any worse, so it's the best day it could possibly be. Of course, no one ever listens to lyrics... Exhibit 1: Springsteen's "Born in the USA"

We all just love the hook.
