The confused babel at the start of Zooropa i still hear "Manchester United, Leeds, Norwich and Chelsea" repeated about 10 times.

Haha Yes I hear it now! As a football fan, you have now probably changed my hearing of Zooropa forever......

Two in Stand Up Comedy...

"C'mon ye people, we're movie stars" instead of "we're made of stars"

"on a Voyer Discovery" instead of "voyage of discovery"... I always thought it was a type of car...

I just listened to the early mix of All Because of You...and I could've sworn he said "Next to eggs, I was so close to eggs..." at the beginning. And in One Step Closer, when I first got the album, I thought he was saying "I'm across the roach from hope" vice "...the road..."  :-[

Bono totally fails at saying "road" in that line. Definitely says "roadge." I think it's so that it kind of "rhymes" with "bridge." The weird thing is I sang that song a lot to myself and said "roadge" for quite a while before I realized that there was something odd about it.

i was reading the site on the first page

i finally figured out what Vertigo says

Check Mated
Oh Yeah
Hours of fun

There's a funny parody video on YouTube that has these lines as "Check it, Ed!", "Jaws Ball!" and then the last line (which you didn't include) before the guitar solo as "Cho Mein in in Yeah." I laughed so hard when I watched it.

From EBTTRT...

"My heart is where it's alway been...HANGIN' somewhere in between", as opposed to MY HEAD IS.  I thought he was making a reference that his heart is torn between his mind and his naughty region.
