Mofo appreciation thread!

[prisz25]

I have to pop in today to pay tribute to Mofo!

"Got the swing got the sway got my straw in lemonade"

Mofo

 

[starsgoblue]

The Santiago version of this song....

 

[popacrobat]

some of bonos best lyrics

incredible song

 

[gherman]

Actually MOFO would fit very well into the tour to pump up the crowd evern more

 

[corianderstem]

It took me ages to realize what Edge was saying in the background vocals.

"Why does he keep saying 'Little red red'?"

 

[ultraviolet7]

lookin' for to save my save my soul
lookin' in the places where no flowers grow
lookin' for to fill that GOD shaped hole

mother mother sucking rock and roll

holy dunc spacejunk comin' in for the splash
white dopes on punk staring into the flash
lookin' for baby Jesus under the trash

mother mother sucking rock and roll
mother rock and roll

mother am I still your son, you know I've waited for so long to hear you say so
mother you left and made me someone
now I'm still a child but no one tells me no

lookin' for a sound that's gonna drown out the world
lookin' for the father of my two little girls
got the swing got the sway got my straw in lemonade
still looking for the face I had before the world was made

mother mother sucking rock and roll
bubble poppin' sugar droppin' rock and roll

woo me sister
move me brother
soothe me mother
rule me father
show me mother


MOFO friggin' ROCKS

been around back
been around front

 

[corianderstem]

Well, yeah, I know that NOW, but for the longest time I couldn't figure out what the heck he was saying.

 

[gareth brown]

Jofo like Mofo.

Haha! You've no idea how long I've wanted to read something like that!

 

[gareth brown]

been around back
been around front

AT LAST! Thank you, I love you....in a minor way.

 

[vox1661]

can someone tell me what is edge saying (if it is edge) in the backing vocals?

 

[gareth brown]

check the post above

 

[vox1661]

i also thought it was "little red" something. glad to finally know after 8 years...

 

[prisz25]

haha i didn't think it was WORDS i thought it was just sound effects LOL I figured out what he was saying a while ago but for a long time it was just "wowowowow" but now its "been around back been around front"

 

[starsgoblue]

I used to think it was 'little red wagon, little red wagon"

 

[gareth brown]

Hahahaha!

 

[Canadiens1131]

Right up there with Streets as an opener. Truly the most "shock n' awe" of U2 concert openers.

 

[typhoon]

The "been around the back, been around the front" part's in the booklet, y'know.

 

[gareth brown]

where?

 

[Zoots]

If he'd actually said 'little red book' it would have been a cool reference to the Hold me Thrill me video.


Anyway.... regarding Mofo... it's a whole new sonic experience!!! The Edge should go back to fucking around with his guitar!

 

[Hawkmoon04]
