Just plain random
I can't sing "The Unforgettable Fire" by U2 in my head. Whenever I get to the bit just before Bono starts whining about walking on by and walking on through, it segues into the instrumental bit from Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run" just before he shouts "three four!" and bangs on a bit more about whatever the hell Born to Run is about.
I don't know why this should bother me, but it does.
Carry on.

I quite often feel the same way about Swan Lake and Lohengrin. Fucking annoying, so it is.
bizairly (unable to spell after a pissed up weekend in brighton) once in royal David's city becomes Hark the Herald angels sing for me, I spent years thinking they were one and the same song.
It's "Suddenly I See" and the theme tune from Rainbow all over again isn't it?
They're shite anyway.
Forget they exist. Works for me.
Carry on.
that's the annoying thing, i think - that i loathe u2 but because of the bloody segue thing they're in my head a lot.
bastards.
it's the "derr-derr, derr-derr" guitar bit just before the chorus (u2)that does it every time.
sorry.
what a joy to find another u2-hater
i think they are so overrated
and bono never smiles either
that's because he is constantly thinking Very Hard about the poor people and how he, sorry, we can help them. a friend went to see them this summer and couldn't help but remark on the irony of bono wittering on about cancelling third world debt while, twenty feet away, their official merchandise stall was knocking out tour t-shirts at forty quid a pop.
and that's only part of why i hate them so much. see also turgid lyrics, inflated sense of self-worth, and shamelessly ripping off led zeppelin.
did you see a link on grammar puss's blog to a makebonohistory t-shirt? very funny it was
You appear to be suffering from 'mixamatoonus", a common condition where one song constantly merges into another.
I *heart* Born to Run, and the rest of that album. Springsteen is ace.
I am indifferent to U2.
wv: hgrzmzt - the noise those chunky blokes in my gym make when they're trying to lift too much weight.
U2 - religous pillocks. Shoot the fuckers.
Still haven't found what you're looking for eh Paul? Well keep on looking and then you may have earned enough to make the rest of this veil of tears at least tolerable to pretentious twats like you.
Errrrr.......religious I meant. Obviously.
I HATE when that happens!mjioyupkc
As was mentioned ages ago, elsewhere, the thing you're looking for, Bono, is hidden under Edge's hat. Hats seem to be very important to U2.
Any U2 song seems to merge in my head into "Fields of Fire" by Big Country. Not too much of a surprise, as they had the same producer at one stage, I guess. (And Big Country has the rock'n'roll advantage over U2 as their lead singer took his own life.)
rvfor: Shit Japanese pretend cross-country mini-jeep for dyslexics
I think Bono would be very disappointed to find out what is under the Edge's hat. I saw the Live Aid performance from 1985 the other night when the guitarist was, amazingly, hatless, and his male pattern baldness was already probably visible to any helicopters passing overhead.
Anyway, fuckin' U2, Coldplay etc. Lock them all up in a monastery.
i read yesterday that chris martin says that he's rubbish at sex and had no idea how to bring a woman to orgasm.
ooh, wet-fish maths student in crap shag shocker....bet gwyneth was pleased he's told the world her sex life is useless.
Why did you have to go and ruin my day by mentioning U2?
Bono, The Edge. For fuck's sake.
precisely. so why are they so popular? see also bruce springsteen - i don't get him either....
I just tried to do that, and your right it does turn init Born to run,...freaky :o)
Mind you The Boss is far better so no great loss not to be humming U2 :o)
No Good Advice: humming Gary Newman's 'Cars' clears anything in your brainbox.
But DO NOT replace said void with Copacobana - you will never get rid of it.
who knew so many people hate U2?
Getting back to the point of your post, I can't sing period, so you're way ahead of me. In fact we have a two hour rule in our house, I'm not allowed to break into song within two hours of Ron waking up. Its just too painful. This is painful for me too, as I'm just bursting at the seams with music in my soul and all that.
What a relief that I can't find the tune for Unforgettable Fire, either. On the downside I've got Bruce Springsteen on the brain now...
Very funny blog BTW. For those of us who like Surl.
Bono: It would only take £100 to feed this entire village in Sierra Leone for 6 whole months...
Cheezy: Well why don't you just give it them then, you pompous cunt?
How nice to find so many other people who think U2 and Springsteen are over-rated. But especially U2.
