The image I always get from Mysterious Ways is from the end - "lift my days, light up my nights, 'DOH!"

I can't seem to shake the image in my head of Homer Simpson saying 'DOH!"

Not quite a mis-heard lyric more than an over logical kid's mind that ended up asking me where Vertigo was, and if it was anywhere in Dublin. Took a second for the penny to drop he was referring to "I'm at a place called vertigo"

I would definitely be asking that if I were his age!  Did you correct him and tell him it's in Germany? Wink

Not exactly a misheard lyric, but along the same lines.  On the song 'Gone', when Bono sings, "Goodbye..." does anyone else expect him to continue "....Ruby Tuesday".. I expect it everytime I hear that song.  Something about the melody, I guess.

Wow... I love the misheard lyrics for "Shadows and Tall Trees"...

"Do you feel in me
Anything redeeming
Any worthwhile feeling
It's just like a taco
Hanging from the ceiling"

Who knew Bono liked Mexican food so much?  Grin

Myself, I've always heard the lyric in One as, "too late, tonight, to drag the pasta into the light..."

Hmm... sSo, judging by these misheard lyrics, we can determine that Bono is subconsciously drawn to Mexican and Italian food... *raises one eyebrow*

Storing physical objects in time would be an awesome concept. Perhaps we can solve global warming by capturing greenhouse gases from the air and sticking them all in the 1980s.

Heard once in my sitting room "She-moo the Mysterious Whale". The singer was 4 years old though. Any other funny mis-quotes?

I remember this mis-heard lyric on the old forum, and the person thought it was:
"Shamoo the mysterious whale"

...which is of course, some famous whale. Not certain if it's mysterious though.  Grin
