Holey moley, U2 in ‘worst lyrics ever’ chart
U2′s ‘mole’ has made it into the BBC 6 worst lyrics chart after a public vote. Sitting uncomfortably at #10 in this dubious list, among clunkers by Snap, Black Sabbath and Toto, are the following lines from Elevation:
“I’ve got no self control, Been living like a mole now, Going down, excavation, High and high in the sky, You make me feel like I can fly, So high, Elevation”
I can’t say I object. What are your worst-U2-lyrics-ever picks?
Sanjaya vs Bono
Time magazine have listed 200 candidates for their ‘Most Influential People of the Year’ award and you, the slightly less influential masses, have been voting for your favourites. So far, so good. To our great distress, we see that Idol reject/teen sensation Sanjaya Malakar (at #6) is beating Bono (#9) by more than 100,000 votes. This simply won’t do. So if y’all could just go over to Bono’s profile, drag the slide all the way to the right until it says ’100′ and click submit, please? Looks like voting’s been stopped.
Harry and Paul do Bono and The Edge
The jury’s still out on the wisdom of bringing back Paul Whitehouse and Harry Enfield to the Beeb. The Fast Show it’s not. As Stephen ‘godlike genius’ Fry said… sketch comedy is a young man’s game. Miaow. But what we really like to know … why is Bono wearing The Edge’s sneakers?
