I'm tellin' y'all:
The freaking spaniards that leaked those leaks 6 months ago tricked Bono that four is catorce in spanish.
Then Bono played along, recording this in the track, and then playing it aloud from the studio so the spaniards could record it.
Edge:It's some spaniards out there...again!
B:It is? Don't they ever get tired of hanging outside our studio all the time?
I tell you what:
I'll go ask them about the spanish count-in for Vertigo or something. I'm pretty sure it's unos, dos, tres, catorce.
E:No! It's Uno, Dos, Tres, Cuatro!
B: We'll see abot that.
Goes outside HQ:
B:Hi! Since you're spaniards, you can count in spanish right?
Spaniards: Yeah sure.Why do you ask?
B:We're recording this track, where we need an intro in spanish and Edge and I are betting.
Edge keeps saying "It's Uno, Dos, Tres, Cuatro!"
I don't think so. I think it's actually Uno, Dos, Tres, Catorce.
Am I right or what?
S: Yeah you are!(keeping themselves from laughing...)
Goes back inside
B:I told you so, you have to pay for my beer 'night!
(And that's also the meaning of "I'll follow you anywhere Edge" from the IWF preformance on SNL...not)
(Vertigo begins)
Uno, Dos, Tres, Catorce!
Turn it up loud captain...
