Ultraviolet chorus... silly question

[Carmanah]

When Bono sings, "hooo-oooh", Edge (in the background) sings what exactly?

 

[FallingStar]

In my opinion it's Ultra-vio-let.....

I wrote a similar poll on alt.fan.u2 well over a year ago, and I got varying results... so I was interested in the results here.

That's what I've always thought too.

 

[elevatedmole]

I always thought it was "Ultraviolet rays"..

 

[ACROB@T]

Ultra-Vio-Let..... fairly confident but Bono also does some vocal overlapping himself over the top of Edge which mixes in..fantastic uplifting chorus anyhow

 

[adamswildhoney]

I always thought that it was either Ultraviolet rays or Ultra-vio-let, but I was never sure of which one it was.

Okay, yesterday I listened to a Zoo TV concert from Stockholm and Edge sang clearly 'Ultra-vio-let'.........

 

[Salome]

Ultra-vio-let

Yep...Same thing with me, only I listened to the album version.

Of course, when my mom listens to that song, she sometimes sings "won't you light my way?" haha

Y'see, that's the good point when English isn't your mother language: Your parents can't mess up lyrics of your favourite band because they can't even form a logic sentence.

Well, U2 is my mom's favorite band too! (actually, she was the one who introduced me to them.)

Ooops - and she can speak English, right? Okay, that's something different: Then she may sing the songs in her own way.

Yep. We're from Michigan, and English is pretty much our one and only language.

I used to think the exact same thing until I heard a live version.

There's also the Yooper language for the northern folks, which has been called many things...like Yoopanese...*lol*

 

[elevation2u]

hehehe,................. i know this is offtopic but i barely heard for the first time a background voice singing "....wear that velvet dress" while bono's singing the chorus. sounded like a women's voice.

Ha! I go to school in southern Michigan, and I've come across some people who speak Yoopanese! I was also introduced to a song called "Rusty Chevrolet" to the tune of Jingle Bells by Da Yoopers.

Heehee...I know that one!

In my freshman year of college, there was a girl from Marquette on my floor. She had a TINY "yooper" accent, but it was nowhere near as extreme as they say.

Me, I'm just a troll!
