You have to admit, 'Drops of Jupiter' is a good song

The friendliest place on the web for anyone that follows U2.

It's got some of the worst lyrics ever- deep fried chicken best friend always sticking up for you? Checks out Mozart while she does tae bo reminds me that there's room to grow? EEEEEEE Fingernails on a chalkboard!
 
I thought that was the best song I'd heard last year upon initial listening.....and then again after hearing the song for about 100 times. It has poetic lyrics, catchy hooks, sensitive vocals, cool piano, and REAL STRINGS(hint, hint), and that neato-keen-crazy-wild "nah-nah-nah-nah-nah" similar to "Hey Jude." It's a great song.

However, after I heard it on Wal-Mart "Radio" about 10 times-per-day, I got sick of it.
 
Haha, You took 4 minutes to think about it some more then try to justify it again!!

Very funny!!

Bono's better than Shakespeare in that he can act, write, play guitar, sing, and make Jesse Helms weep. Bono's my favorite songwriter of all time.

That having been said.....I CAN'T "get over it".....I'm obsessed with DOJ....That does it, I'm going into therapy now!

The only reason U2 lost to train was because the votes they got were split between two songs. If only one U2 song had been nominated, U2 would have won!
 
its too bad that u2 had to have 2 songs competeing against eachother..
I dont think Train is all that great.. the guys voice annoys the hell outta me. And i dont like the lyrics at all. BLAH
 
I dig the song, but it's certainly been overplayed.

Lyrically it's no worse than "Elevation".
 
U2 was the victim of the ol' split vote twice in one night... this one, and in Album of the Year.
Frankly the best "lyric" with the words Drops of Jupiter in them came from Jon Stewart with his little "drops of jupiter are actuall quite dangerous" line.

Hmm... Walk On isn't good enough to win this category, but it is good enough to win Record of the Year, a much more prestigous category...

Gotta love the Grammys.

Reminds me of the Simpsons episode @ the Springfield Awards Banquet...
Homer: Ohh I never win any awards.
Lisa: You won a Grammy
Homer: I mean an award that means something.

That song sucks, no I mean it SUCKS. They played it twice an hour every hour of every day on the SUCK ass radio stations here in SUCK land. Everything about it SUCKS and it touches things and makes them suck I mean SUCK.

Hell Train knew it sucked when they were playing it, thats why their performance SUCKed so bad. They had the look on their face like they couldn't believe they were playing such crap lyrics in the same show that opened with that incredible walk on.

They should have named it 'Drops of PooP' and change the name of thier band to Lame.

Show what I know. I'd never heard the song before seeing it on the Grammys.

Oh, and I admit that it's a good song.
Like the sun is cold, 9/11 was a great day for the world, and women make sense.

You cannot compare shit like Train to something golden like U2.

it doesn't matter whether that song is overplayed it just sucks
and it even is bad at sucking
the only thing worse then those whiny vocals and the clich? sound are those horrible lyrics
it's just so freakin bad it makes Britney Spears' "Hit me baby one more time" look decent

I vehemently detest that song
