YKYOW a U2 song comes on the radio while you're driving, and when you get to where you're going you sit in the car until the song is over, even when you've heard the song a trillion times

Guilty  :)

Or maybe all you ever listen to are U2 CDs in your car?  :-[

Me three!

YKYOW you can sing along perfectly to nearly every U2 song (y'know, besides Numb...) and enjoy doing so often. And you sing so loudly the music is drowned out. And you sing the instrument parts too...

All the time! This is the reason why I enjoy being home alone. And yeah, my numb singing is like, "don't hjkdalkjsfha don't mkgopg, don't fklnmih, don't kljhfohiff just play another chord." 


Based off of ^, YKYOW you have specific sounds you sing for each of Edge's guitars. The Fly is like a buh bwah bwah, Beautiful Day is a dum dum dum, dum dum dum, the solo in Miracle Drug is a neew neww neeww, oh I'm so strange  :P
This is me too!  I think I do better singing the instrument parts than I do singing the actual lyrics.  Plus, people don't judge you as harshly when you're imitating the instruments because they think you're just playing around.  ;)

+1 EVERY TIME. I love when it's on in a store.

YKYOW you've listened to Streets live so many times that when you listen to the album version you always sing Edge's backing vocals and expect Bono to start singing "Ooooh"'s in the middle.

YKYOW you can insert Bono-monologues at the beginning of most U2 songs because you've heard them so many times

Ha, I found myself doing that the other day when I heard it on the radio! (I always sing Edge's vocals on the chorus of NYD, but I've never done it with Streets before - not sure why I suddenly felt the urge to do so.) It's been so long since I listened to the studio version that I didn't even realise those backing vocals weren't on it.

I had a YKYOW moment in my dream last night. Someone asked me what the book I was reading was about (or something like that, it might not have been a book) and I replied "It's about love and faith and sex and fear" because that's what it was about. Unfortunately, I probably wouldn't say this in real life!

I don't remember! :'( Because it was a dream, it might not have been a real book either... I think it was though.
