I Try to Sing This Song....

[WildHonee]

OK we all know that every part of a U2 song is GREAT, but what parts of which songs do you just HAVE to sing out loud when you hear 'em? (to the dismay of your family or whoever else is subjected to your singing heh)

Mine:
1.) "THAT girl THAT girl" (IALW)

2.) "Just as you find me always I will be a little bit too free with myself" (Summer Rain)

3.) "Let me unpack my case" (babyface)

4.) "C'mon now love don't you look back!" (WGRYWH)

5.) EL-E-VA-TION!

6.) "I'm a maaaaaan" (Kite) Lol my brother loves when I do that one.

[Party Girl_75]

I find myself singing the following lines on an almost daily basis:

1. Lemon: LEEMONN *in my Bono-Falsetto voice*
2. IWF: If you walk away, walk away, walk away, walk away,I will follow
3. BD: The traffic is stuck and your not moving anywhere...*this is usually when I am sitting in an hours worth of traffic*
4. Gloria: Glorrria

 

[Echo]

"I'm looking through your window, I'm walking through your doorway, I'm on the outside, let me in, let me....love you..." - Walk to the Water

"Go lightly down your darkened way, go lightly underground, I'll be down there in another day, I won't rest until you're found." - GBHF

"A man dreams of leaving but he always stays behind." - Lemon

"It's not a trick, cause you cant learn it." - Discoteque

Also, I have to be very careful about listening to "A Celebration," because wherever I am, if I put it on I absolutely MUST get up and dance and sing at the top of my lungs.

I had the house to myself last night, and I left the windows open cause it was beautiful outside, and the neighbors got to hear.......

1)"I'm a man!" - Kite (probably not the best line to scream if you're female)

2)"You!.... All I want is you!"

3)"Come on now love, Don't you look back! - WGRYWH

4) "That girl! That girl!" - In a Little
While

5)"Beating, beating, beating oh my love" - Exit

6)"I'm hanging on!" -Red Hill Mining Town

7)"Shake it, shake it, shake it!" - Salome

And a lot of other ones....

I have to sing Red Hill Mining Town in general, but the line that always gets me started is "Hangin' on, you're ALL that's left to hold on to... I'm still waitin!" I love singing along with that song.

Two shots of happy, one shot of sad: The entire song... especially the last verse:
Guess I've been greedy, all of my life
greedy with my children, my lovers, my wife.
Greedy for the good things as well as the bad
Just two shots of happy, one shot of sad.

Oh, and I agree with the other parts you girls have listed here too...

I do that one so loud and the "I'm a man" bit of kite. I really should take singing lessons before the neighbours all move away.

I also always have to sing the whole of Tomorrow and Dirty Day whenever they are on.

I know, I'm a pretty good singer except when I lose control and I start screaming - that's when the boys get scared....

But it's just emotions taking me over, I'm caught up in sorrow, lost in the song....

Me sing to a U2 song? Nah...okay, so if I DID...
"USSR, DDR, London, New York, Peking, it's the puppets, it's the puppets on a string."
From "Seconds"

"BOOM CHA" from "Discotheque"

"If you want to touch the sky, better learn how to kneel" (when I was coming home from my other house in NJ, I made a WHOLE dance to Mysterious Ways with this Crocodile Hunter doll that I have, it was great, and when it got to that line, the old crocodile hunter did kneel! hehe)

"And the cartoon network turns into the news." "If God Will Send His Angels"

All of Elvis Presley and America, and I ATTEMPT to sing all of "Numb" and I must say, I am getting better each time I listen to it...

"Skip the subway, lets go to the overground, get your head out of the mud baby." Zooropa

"She will die and live again" "A Sort of Homecoming" (which is on right now...)
