That rhymed!
Okay, we need a Zoo Station appreciation thread, considering how many of us seem to have parents that hate the song.
I mean, how can you not love every little bit of the song? It's the perfect opening to the perfect album.
Let's do a rundown, shall we?
0:00-0:03
CLINK CLINK CLINK CLINK CLINK
0:03-0:08
Those first beautiful riffs
0:09-0:13
tap tap tap tap... tap tap tap tap
0:13-0:30
Things are beginning to come together
0:30-0:45
Enter Larry (with a bang!), and the intro really comes together
0:45-0:58
Enter Bono, making Bono noises
0:59-1:26
Bono tells us that he's ready. Okay, Bono. Also, take notice (Achtung!) Larry carries the verse, but you can hear Adam quite well too.
1:27-1:28
"Uh-huh." See? Bono agrees with me. Also another great Edge riff here.
1:29-1:44
Second verse. Bono ends it with a "Yea."
1:45-1:58
I love the choruses in this song. Bono's not even singing, he's just speaking quietly. But we get Bono noises in the background.
1:59-2:27
Hmmm, I wonder if I like this verse better than the first one? I know I like how Edge butts in at 2:13.
2:28-2:43
More Bono speaking and Bono noises. I love the way Bono breathes out the words "the line" in the first bit. Also, "Zoo Statiooooon" get sung this time, not spoken.
2:44-3:00
Bono tells us that it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, hey baby, hey baby, it's alright, it's alright. I call this practice for Mysterious Ways and Ultra Violet (Light My Way) ;P
3:01-3:05
"Uh-huh." See? He's agreeing with me again! He also tells us that we can turn it up. Okay, Bono.
3:06-3:21
Bono tells us why time is a train. I love how his voice drops for the last line.
3:22-3:51
Okay, this time around, he's actually singing. Plenty of "Zoo Statiooooon"s and Bono noises in the background though.
3:52-4:07
Okay, he's back to speaking, and there are no more Bono noises, but we still get plenty of "Zoo Statiooooon"s.
4:08-4:35
The outtro, Bono takes a break while Edge, Adam, and Larry close the song up seamlessly.
Writing stuff like that out shows that I have absolutely nothing better to do while waiting for the laundry to dry.

I never let it slip from that number one spot.
Was there a poll or something about which songs our parents hated?
ZOO STATION!!!!
