This is a collection of U2 lyrics misheard by myself, my friends, and other fans. The images were mostly collected on Flickr, but a few came from other sources. The 'sky's full of felines' image was photoshopped by me.

  • Guilty as charged of :

    eating from a cat - took me ages to work that one out

    nights you filled with flowers - still gets me, as if he says fireworks!

    heavens gate - only worked it out when I saw this!

    iodine in the sky - as above (makes more sense than I and I anyways)

    little red dress - I actually just thought this was guitar, but little red dress makes more sense than what's there

    I always thought, rather than leopards in head, it was lepers in your BED, which is nearly as concerning

  • He often sang it live as "lepers in your bed", particularly during the ZooTV tour. It was a reference to the AIDS epidemic.

  • LOL "Is love like a taco"

  • That was one of my personal misheard lyrics. I was seriously like "WTF? How would Bono in 1978 Ireland even know what a taco was?"

  • there's this line in hawkmoon 269, that goes "like a preacher needs pain"

    I always understood "like a printer needs paint"

  • Nice!

see all

  • My good one was always "see them driving nails into the souls of the champagne..." (Bullet The Blue Sky)

  • Bacon and ham... Cannot unhear... thanks.

  • Eating from a cat!!! XDDD LMFAO

  • I love it! hahahaha

    

  • Haha! Thank you for a much needed laugh!

  • this also reminds me of the first time i heard "breathe" and was very skeptical over the "striptease" thing, i thought I misheard it but that was actually it.

  • bacon, bacon, bacon, haaaam. hahaha i almost died.

    The "snooker hall" on Promenade, I actually thought it was "sneak a whore" up until... well... now, thanks for clearing that up for me after being a fan for 11 years.

  • Awesome job!! :D

  • I've got one. This is one i thought of when i was listening to it: In the intro to "I Will Follow" Bono says something, i don't know what it is but it sounds like "fire away at zingolo" - Zingolo is some Ghana fairtrade thing.

  • tramps and gypsys all around, that's exactly what i heard the first time when i was listening starin at the sun :)

    nice job anyway
