Which lyrics make u laugh/smile/giggle/titter/grin.?

[mad1]

I dont mean lyrics that are laughing at Bonos work or anyting, Im talkin lyrics that Bono sings that make u giggle or grin loudly cause they so cute!!!!!!

Here are my top ones:

From Wild Honey - '......swingin from the trees, I was a Monkey' (I have this terrible vision of Bono swingin in slow motion the same way as Madonna did in her hammock in Erotica.....)

From Silver and Gold - 'In the shithouse, a shotgun'

From Billy Boola - 'Babys a big flirt, napples in a t-shirt' (If I have this up loud in the car, I look at the person next to me who I bet can hear it and laugh at them still lookin all serious and straight-ahead

) Oh and I said 'napples' to protect womens identity.

From Billy Boola - 'Billy Boola Boola, hoola oola wicky shicky.....etc,etc' (ok I know its Gavin singin but still craics me up'

From ITNOTF - 'In the name of the BBC........' (no, Ive no idea why!!!!!..........

)

But the one ting that grips me the most with laughter is when Bono sings on 'In A Little While'
'...........'Man dreams one day to fly, a man takes a rocket ship into the skies'
( I DONT know why but u can almost see Bono smiling or laughing while singin that lyric part..)

oh and it doesnt really count but, on MDH soundtrack......the track where the music is playing, with a very 'porn' sound to it.......then all of a sudden Millas voice says 'What is it you wanted to ask me?'...........................- ..........at this point I really crack up and stop the track anyway cause I know the conversation gets worse from there on anyway...but like...LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!

(dats all me can tink of for now.....anymore, will re-edit)

 

[WildHonee]

"HUEVO!" Or whatever it is

Also
"BOOM-CHA!"

And
"Blue eyed boy meets a brown eyed girl" just bc I want me one of those...and I think it's sweet.

and
"turn it oooooooonnnn" etc (IALW)

There's more, akorse cause I have the ODDEST sense of humor....but my carpool is here to crucify me!!!! *flee*

 

[EPandAmerica]

Some days are dry, some days are leaky
Some days come clean, other days are sneaky
Some days take less, but most days take more
Some slip through your fingers and onto the floor


Some days you're quick, but most days you're speedy
Some days you use more force than is necessary
Some days just drop in on us
Some days are better than others


Some days it all adds up
And what you got is not enough
Some days are better than others


Some days are slippy, other days sloppy
Some days you can't stand the sight of a puppy
Your skin is white but you think you're a brother
Some days are better than others


Some days you wake up with her complaining
Some sunny days you wish it was raining
Some days are sulky, some days have a grin
And some days have bouncers and won't let you in


Some days you hear a voice
Taking you to another place
Some days are better than others


Some days are honest, some days are not
Some days you're thankful for what you've got
Some days you wake up in the army
And some days it's the enemy


Some days are work, most days you're lazy
Some days you feel like a bit of a baby
Lookin' for Jesus and His mother
Some days are better than others


Some days you feel ahead
You're making sense of what she said
Some days are better than others


Some days you hear a voice
Taking you to another place
Some days are better than others

Sorry to post the whole song, but I couldn't pick just one line from it.

whenever I listen to my PopMex cd and Bono says "if you wanna kiss this guy, better learn how to kneel"
CRACKS MY ASS UP!
aaand in Another Time, Another Place where I swear he says "geez oh pete" and something about cheesecake
and, ya know, Billy Boola

"It never ceases to amaze me. Here, we have a man who claims professes to enjoy flower arranging, has no qualms over donning a skirt at any given time and, now we learn, prefers to use the ladies' restroom. And yet somehow he manages to embody all that is masculine and sexy. I don't know how he does it. " ~Gina, on Adam

[Chrissie Clayton]

I love singing U2 songs so my fave ones are meant to be sung.

-Ours is a stormy kind of love~~~~The sweetest thing.

-Let's get under cover
Don't try too hard to think
Don't think at all...~~~~SATS

-New York like a Christmas tree tonight this city belongs to me ~~~~Angel of Harlem

-All the promises we break
From the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you~~~~AIWIY

-See the canyons broken by cloud~~~BD

-Sean and Julia, Gareth, Ann and Breda
Their lives are bigger, than any big idea ~~~Peace on Earth

Ok I stop it now, but Gosh I can't tell how much do I love their Lyrics. My absolute No1 is SATS and that was the first video I saw and I can't forget it. *sigh*

 

[mad1]

A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle. That cracks me up as I always imagine little goldfish cycling around.

Some of the lyrics from Zooropa make me laugh too, can't really explain why. I'm sure I will think of some more.

 

[hippy]

Why has no one mentioned.....

JESUS CHRIST!!!!!!!!!

I could do the Jesus hoe down all day long and not get tired of it! Meanwhile, I'm on my way to class...I'll be back later with my faves

The whole wide world feels like a shrine to the worker bees, who stole it from God anyhow.

Lay it down, child
And walk into this room all made with love for you...

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.

I love the line "She's standing at the station, with her face pressed up against the glass" From Zoo Station, it's such a funny image to me, I know it wasn't intended that way.

"I know a boy, a boy called trashcan" is also real cute

'Hot as a handbag and a can of mace'

'A boy called trampoline, you know what I mean'

'We're mild and green and squeaky clean'

The entire Numb song cracks me up-I'm just trying to figure out what the heck Edge is saying

It puts me in a trance every time though...

I LOVE Big Girls Are Best, but it cracks me up too, and the way he sings it-and, of course, HUEVO

LOL!! Even better is when he ACTS like a monkey, swingin his arms and walking like that as he sings!! LOLL

my vote:
Surely you'll be mine
or is it spelt
Shirley you'll be mine
LOL it ALWAYS reminds me of Larry "dont call me shirley" Mullen!!

I have to agree with Maddie about Wild Honey...I love the way he says I was a "Mon-kay"

I also like...

From Party Girl - I know he does all that he can, Wham Bam

From Spanish Eyes - Forever in fever, forever in heat

I could go on forever here but those are 3 of my favorites...maybe I'll post some more later

 

[OnTheEdge]

I love this thread. Daisy - I never thought that Zoo Station line was funny, but now I do.

I'm always laughing at least a bit when listening to Spanish Eyes... ButI don't know how much that actually has to do with lyrics. Big Girls has some odd things like "Cocobutter". Just that thrown in word makes me giggle. HUEVO too... SDABTO deserves to have it lyrics here too I think.

I'm pretty sure that in the PopMart video Bono says "this guy" instead of "the sky," which is pretty funny considering it seems like he's singing it to Edge!

Other funny lyrics:
Big Girls are Best
"A mole diggin' a hole..."
Party Girl
The Discotheque Boom-Chas
When Bono calls Frank Sinatra "old fool" in IGYUMS

When I first read the title of the thread, this is what came into my mind.... Wham Bam!

Some more:


IGWSHA - "Jesus sister's eyes are a blister"

Discotheque -

You know you're chewing bubblegum
You know what that is
But you still want some
You just can't get enough
Of that lovie dovie stuff


------------------
Oh sugar, don't you cry
Oh child, wipe the tears from your eyes
You know I need you to be strong
And the day is as dark as the night is long
Feel like trash, you make me feel clean
I'm in the black, can't see or be seen

[OnTheEdge]

Oh, how about all the breathing sounds in Elevation? "Ahh Ohhh"

The sound of it makes me wonder why it wasn't a HUGE hit on pop radio.

And another note bout Elevation: When you are feeling the concert vibes from it and gettin' kinda spiritual with it and then you hear the lyric and suddenly it's all sexual and you must turn it down in case your parents are on the other side of the wall. Or something along those lines.

on that boot, he SO says "guy"
unless he's actually following the lyrics and says sky weirdly...

 

[stephannv]

THIS IS THE BEST TOPIC EVER!!!


OK, Let's go:

first of all, HOW COULD Y'ALL FORGET
HAWKMOON 269??
the best lyric is "I don't believe in forced entry, I don't believe in rape, but every time she passes by, wild thoughts escape" !!!
Cracks me up every time

next,
all of DGPFYCC!!!! hillarious

Numb- "don't piss in the drain"
Edge is soooo clever!

Beautiful day- when Bono yells
"touch me!!!", I can't help but smile!!!

Mofo- just the name cracks me up!

Desire- "Like a preacher stealing hearts at a traveling show"

ehhh, those will do.....

I just bought the Popmart Mexico cd yesterday!!! WOHOOOOOOOOO!!!! I get to hear Bono say "kiss this guy"!!!! EXCELLENTTTTTTTTTTTTT!

And forgive me, but I can never keep a straight face during A Celebration. Maybe it's cause I always get the accompanying image of Bono cavorting around in red pants whenever the song comes on. But I really think it's a combination of the lyrics "Shake! Shake!" and "You can GO! GO! GO!" Hee hee! Gets me every time!

oohhhh YEAAAHH!!!!
I can't listen to that and not giggle!

 

[Humbucker]

"On your knees, boy!" always makes me think of Bono as a pedophile.

 

[Ultraviolet Light]

Any and all of Billy Boola never fails to crack me up...
so does "hot as a handbag and a can of mace,"
"The blind leading the blond,"
and the way he says "Be uncool, yes be awkward" makes me grin.
Oh, and a random version I have of Spanish Eyes from Barcelona where he forgets the words and goes "wey-hey-hey, don't remember this tune..."
aaaaaand finally, when he calls Frank Sinatra and old fool in IGYUMS.
This also ellicits grins and images of small children and windows...

[Burning_Azalea]

Gotta agree with everyone who mentioned "Billy Boola" and BGAB, but I must also add one of my favorites from IALW:

"WHOO-HOO, my how you've grown!"

The way Bono sings it always reminds me of the scene in "Animal House" where the Playboy Bunny flies through the bedroom window of a young boy, and he says "thank you, God!" Bono just sounds so excited -- and it makes me laugh so much!

"Bono! Stop waving at innocent bystanders!

[NYbrowneyedgirl]

The blind leading the blonde from If God Will Send His Angels always makes me smile. I don't know why.

 

[Hallelujah Here She Comes]

Billy Boola = Nonstop laughter

Also, from Big Girls Are Best: I always giggle a little whenever Bono says "sexy ma ma ma sexy ma ma ma." And has anyone else noticed at the end when he talks all deep and gravelly and just blurts "Mah MAMA!"?? Oh, the randomness that is Bono

And forgive me, but I can never keep a straight face during A Celebration. Maybe it's cause I always get the accompanying image of Bono cavorting around in red pants whenever the song comes on. But I really think it's a combination of the lyrics "Shake! Shake!" and "You can GO! GO! GO!" Hee hee! Gets me every time!
