    IDK man i love this song as much as any on the album easily, but if they don't like anything the band has done up to this point i don't think they're gonna dig this either. Their loss

    I'm sorry your friends listen to R&B and hate rock? I say get new friends.


  7. lol, r and b is so shit,all the singers r gangstas, pimps or girlfriend bashers.


  8. Yup, it's for all the people who think listening to a bunch of dysfunctional Americans makes them seem cool.

    I could never understand how that logic worked.
  9. Worst song on the album for me. Not that I think it's bad.
    Just can't get into it at all. The end is much stronger than the beginning, however.

    3 stars on my iPod

    I don't get why people think's its bad. The lyrics are really well done, although not serious.
    (I think people think MoS has better lyrics because it's serious).
    It's like the only proper rock tune on the album.

    Have you forgotten how to read?

    Verses are horrible for me. Choruses and the ending much better. I suspect it will grow on me. But cockatoo's? Seriously? Oh well.

    Sorry Dan, however I wasn't only referring to you.

    Yes, the cockatoo lyric seems rather silly and out of place

    But it might make sense if this theory is correct:

    I think the salesman at the door in the first verse, is selling the cockatoo, and marketing it by claiming that having the bird as a companion will extend your lifespan. (Some research done with pets & their owners has actually shown this). And the words "stay alive a bit longer" also support this.

    I think it's possible this song arose from an anecdote where either Bono or one of the band etc. had the experience of meeting a cockatoo selling salesman claiming the bird would make you 'live a bit longer'. Because it's a rather unique situation to invent.
