Although somewhat old news, we just learned about it recently and couldn’t help but pass it on. Norwegian entertainer Kristian Valen has done a Bono impersonation that can be found here (look for U2 – Elevation). Kristian has released a DVD, “Valen TV,” containing a U2 impersonation which we believe to be the one featured on the web site, but we have not yet been able to confirm it. For those not fluent in Norwegian, you might want to know that the producer tells Kristian to “stick to the script, and no vulgarity!”

I love this as a fellow Norwegian. You should also check out Bill Bailey making fun of U2’s sound in his Part Troll DVD – hilarious!

Ah forgot to say – YES – the Elevation skit is included on the Valen TV DVD as I have it myself.

I thought it was terrible. The kids on the rooftop in NYC nailed it and they are not professionals. Nor are they Norwegian. There may be something in that.
If anything, it was interesting to hear what the song would have sounded like if a crap band wrote it. Fortunately, it did not.

Omg. Those lyrics are priceless.

The “amplified” crotch shots alone are worth the download. Between this and “Head, Shoulders, Knees & Toes”, I’m beginning to think it’s U2 parody week. Where’s “Weird Al”?
