Since U2 appear to be taking requests these days...

[LemonMelon]

Imagine yourself in a parking lot in front of a stadium before a U2 show, and you see Bono running around looking for a place to take a leak. You know where the bathroom is, but you say that you won't tell him where it is unless he gets the band to play the 5 U2 songs that you choose. What would they be?



I'd say....

Kite
A Day Without Me
Gone
Red Light
Crumbs

Then, proceed to point eastward. Bono comes up, gives you a hug, says "Thanks mate!" and then runs frantically in the direction you pointed to.

He then dedicates the songs to you, and tells a fascinating story before Miracle Drug about a guy called the Edge from the future who told him where a certain pub in Dublin is. He was very appreciative and they started a band.

Seriously though, what 5 songs would you pick?

 

[impy13]

Ultra Violet
A Sort Of Homecoming

Please

[Another Day]

"Red Light"?

You'd trade top-secret bathroom information just to hear "Red fucking Light"?

No way.

Crumbs, obviously... Kite, OK.

Red Hill Mining Town, Gloria, The Unforgettable Fire, Rejoice...

though I think Bono would probably take a dump in the parking lot before they'd play Rejoice.

 

[Dragonfave]

Lemon, Crumbs, Twilight, Rejoice, MIAMIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!
