Ba-da-di-do....
I chose this Song of the Day not because of the lyrics - they're the funniest I've heard coming from Bono.
I normally hate songs with the word "party" in it (i.e. "Crazy Little Party Girl" by Aaron Carter). But this irresistible little number did me in:
( Collapse )
I think of it as a "baby" Mysterious Ways. The song begins with some strumming from the Edge, then Larry and Adam kick in with the "party" groove after "...oh no, not me" - at this point I am always tempted to start wiggling my hips.
I remember an article I read way back about Bono - stumbling out into the street from a rowdy party and bellowing at no one in particular - "No, I will not do the snake dance for you!" Yes, I think this would be the snake dance song. This is the kind of song no one can dance to and maintain dignity. But it's fun and silly and very Bono-ish (read: he can't dance - but he got soul).
My favorite bits: The Edge's playful guitar solo after the second verse, Bono's "ba-dat-di-doo-wa-ba-di-doo-wa-mmm-bah" scatting and Bono shouting, "Guitar hero!"
Oh, and the people yelling "Hey! Hey! Hey!" - I do love an enthusiastic audience.
