That U2/Apple commerical song...

[Chaotic42]

It's been bugging me.

Why does he say uno, dos, tres, quatorce? 1,2,3, 14? I'm curious, is there a reason for it? Is it just a mistake?

It's just for fun. I think.

He's flippin' Bono, he can count however he pleases.

It's "unos" meaning some.

Google seems split about it.

Anyway, I was just wondering if he meant 4 instead of 14, and it just slipped under the radar.

 

[Shawn]

quatorce sounds better

I agree with this man. It is an AWFUL poppy song. Bono's singing sounds like a 13 year old trying to sing whiney punk-pop and failing. Wtf was U2 thinking with that crap?

 

[wfbberzerker]

ONE TWO THREE FOURTEEN!

 

[imthebadguy]

whats the name of that song

 

[Zeeky Boogy Doog]

because about 90% of the people who listen to it will never notice and that makes them giggle like little girls

 

[RedWolf]

I think it is because Bono is homeless. Look at him. He looks like a homeless man. How can you have hair that greasy and nasty and NOT be homeless.

U2 and Vertigo rocks IMO. It's nice to hear some good Rock n Roll after the last few years of crap and rap.

Unos, dos, tres, catorce [1,2,3,14]

Turn it up loud, captain!

Lights go down
It's dark
The jungle is your head
Can't rule your heart
I'm feeling so much stronger
Than I thought
Your eyes are wide
And though your soul
it can't be bought
your mind can wander

Hello, Hello
Hola! [Spanish for Hello]
I'm at a place called vertigo (¿Dónde está?) [Where is it?]
It's everything I wish I didn't know
Except you give me something I can feel
Feel

The night is full of holes
Those bullets rip the sky
Of ink with gold
They twinkle as the boys play rock and roll
They know that they can't dance
At least they know

I can't stand the beat
I'm askin' for the cheque
Girl with crimson nails
Has Jesus 'round the neck
Swinging to the music
Swinging to the music
Woooao

Hello, Hello
Hola!
I'm at a place called Vertigo (¿Dónde está?) [Where is it?]
It's everything I wish I didn't know
But you give me something I can feel
Feel

All this, all this can be yours
All of this, all of this can be yours
All this, all of this can be yours
Just give me what I want
And no one gets hurt

Hello, Hello
Hola!
I'm at a place called Vertigo
Lights go down and all I know
Is that you give me something I can feel
You're teaching me ...aaahhh
Your love is teaching me ...aaaah
How to kneel
Kneel

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!

That song ROCKS!

So glad U2 have continued what they rediscovered on ATYCLB and tossed aside that techno/Euro-thrash sound.

Here's the whole album streamed from MTV.: U2 atomic bomb

I like U2's stuff, but have to sort of ignore the lyrics.

 

[conjur]

Why ignore the lyrics? Except for a couple of worthless songs, they're pretty darn good and, oftentimes, rather moving.


Thanks for that streaming link!

Heard this song and another new U2 song last night on SNL. Sounds good. U2 is back and not making that weird crap they were making in the 90's (although I like "Numb" for some odd reason.)

 

[Juice Box]

he says 1,2,3,14 because the new U2 Album is their 14th studio release

 

[Philippine Mango]

ARGH!!!! I HATE THAT SONG! Yes apple, keep playing it so I hate it more and more and soon I will go on a killing rampage because you went to far! J/K but I find the ad fricken annoying, every single song apple uses to promote their product I will officially hate for life. BTW I hate all apple products. Is it just me or should there be a POLL IN HERE!?

 

[0roo0roo]

most overrated band ever they are way past their prime, damn old people and their nostolgia.
