If you have answers, please help by responding to the unanswered posts.
balls, bats, punky shoes, must be a rock and roll band:ohmy:

But you haven't come all the way out here to watch tv, now have ya?:lol:
 
The best was from POPMart Leeds 28-8-1997.
Please ended and it flew into Streets.
Edge starts his riff, Adam adds bass and Larry hits it pretty hard.
You can feel the atmosphere rising and Bono says:
"Goin' UP"
 
"Shut up for a second will ya? Stop whistling 'cos I'm not in The Beatles, OK? It's U2 here"

Just to be pedantical, it's 'poncy shoes'. One of my favourite parts of the ZooTV video. :lol:
 
I thought you meant lyrics. I had a whole list ready.

How about the one about flushing the entire continent down the toilet?

(no offense to the good cause, but it is an offense to the people in Africa who aren't living in mud huts to make it look like their whole continent is like that.)

The only thing I can think of right now is...

"Okay Edge, play the blues..." :huh:

This always cracks me and my friends up when we see this scene in "Rattle and Hum." Bono tells Edge to "play the blues" and Edge goes into a guitar riff in a very Edge-like manner. My friends and I would always snark, "No, Edge, play the blues. Edge, I mean it this time, play the blues. Edge, you #$%@&!!!!"

noun {C} UK INFORMAL DISAPPROVING

a man who does not behave, dress or speak in a traditionally male way, especially one who behaves in a very careful way:
