«…reproduction, or what?»
«What did you say?»
«What kind of production?»
«There are all sorts of possibilities you could do. You know, a
Little spoof on something…»
This is also nothing new.
«Yeah, get stuff together, no problem, y’know, if you want to
Do…»
(c’mon, let’s look) (no, no, no. Uh-uh.)
Oh. Oh well. (This is American Top Furty)
I have climbed the highest mountains, and guess what?
(Yeah, I believe it’s the Weatherman now… where you at?)
I’ve run … through the fields … only to be with you.
Yep, with you. No one else, just you. (Here’s the first Top 40 hit)
And guess what? (for the Irish band from Dublin who call
Themselves U2)
I have run, I have crawled, I have scaled these city walls!
Yeah, that’s really great, I can’t believe I did it, but
Nevertheless, I have done that for you. (That’s the letter U, and the
Numeral 2.)
Only to be with you, I’ve done all these things. (the f-)
Yeah, with you. The fat one, that’s it. (the f-)
You’re the fat one, and I wanna be with you. (What’s the matter?)
(Can I say, eh, why was it changed here?)
But on the other hand, I still haven’t found what I’m looking for.
(That’s the letter U, and the numeral 2.)
(Maybe they’ll make it as a junior U2.)
But on the other hand, I still haven’t found what I’m looking for.
(That’s the letter U, and the numeral) (they say)
Nope, definitely not. (2.) I haven’t found it. (they say, they’re
Kinda like U2) I just can’t seem to find it. (That’s the letter U, and the
Numeral 2.)
Nope, definitely not, I haven’t found it. (That’s the letter U, and
The numeral 2.) (come on)
And here’s what else I’ve done. (come on, let’s see what we can
Find)
I have kissed honey lips … felt the healing in her fingertips.
I’ve even done that! (That’s the letter U, and the numeral 2.)
While I was doing that, y’know, all the kissing on the honey lips,
It burned like fire, and it reminded me of cheap melting plastic. The kind
That makes little clouds of white vapor gas and then when it catches on
Fire, makes those little … little strings of black smoke with little
Ashes attached to them. That’s how it was, kissing honey lips.
(Why are we doing it? Why have we changed something?)
And I still haven’t found it. What I’m looking for, that is.
I just don’t know where the Hell it is…
(The last thing we wanted to do was sound like everybody else.)
…I just can’t seem to find it…
(That’s the letter U, and the numeral 2.)
(..gotta challenge…musically speaking, you know, you’ve gotta
Find new sounds in a guitar, you’ve gotta find a new way of approaching a
4/4 beat. … Rock and roll still needs innovation.. and there’s a lot,
There’s a lot out there.)
Someone has said, get a great ideal, a great purpose, marry it, and
Raise a family. (What the Hell’s going on here?)
Bono. (Billy, look!) (I should be saying, American Top 40 is
Heard in the fifty states…)
Are U2 married to a great idea? (It was, it was every week,
American Top 40 is heard in the) (Everything is topsy-turvy!) (I’ll say it is!)
(Is it to just screw up things?)
Marriage is not U2 living for each other (cause I can’t say this,
Y’know) (let’s see what we can find!) (Everything’s such a mess!)
(We’re almost finished…)
Is U2 uniting to live as a team for this great purpose?
(What’s the matter? Find something?) (No.)
(I can’t find anything here.) Goddamnit, sewer-mouth is back again.
(There’s no one in here now… nothing but Uncle Jim’s shortwave
Radio set.) (Ponderous… is Don on the phone?)
Hi, Casey. Uh, I had them put me right on the speaker phone for ya.
Uh, now I just got word from Mr. Friday that, uh… uh, we can’t pay you
Anything for this until uh, our label sends us some of the money they owe
Us. So, this will, uh, have to be benefit terms. So, uh… (Good golly,
Miss Molly.) well, I gotta catch a plane. Give my regards to the
Weatherman and, uh, heh, U2!
You know, they do this to me all the time, I dunno what the Hell
They do it for, but…
(Yeah that’s, the guy that was talking to the sewer-mouth there,
Bring him back)
Now, make, and I also wanna know what happened to the pictures I
Was supposed to see this week?
(Hey, sewer-mouth!) (…could be, hey, I’m on a frequency, I
Betcha can’t find me!) (Who’s got the ???? out there?)
That’s the letter 2, and the numeral U.
Heh heh heh HEH. I was a worm in the night. And cold as a stone, I
Was. (Alright… Alright… Okay, let’s try it, okay?) (Cyndi? Okay…)
And I believe in kingdom come, (Cyndi? Okay…) and all the colors
Bleeding into one big mess. (Okay…) I’ll probably have to get out the STP
Cleaner on that one, maybe the 409, but I’m not sure yet. (That’s the
Letter U, and the numeral 2.) (I have the envelope here)
And you broke the bombs. (and uh) You broke the goddamn bombs, (and
Uh) you’ve loosened the chains, (I have the envelope) you’ve carried across
(I have the envelope here) and my shame, and my shame. Shame, shame, shame,
Shame, shame. So much shame. (Why have we changed changed something that
We’ve been doing all along?)
You know, I believe it. (Alright…) Nope, I guess I don’t believe
It. I don’t know what I’m talking about. (This, this is)
But nevertheless, I still haven’t found it. (That’s the letter U)
I haven’t found what I’m looking for, I haven’t found it. (I can’t
Say it again!) I’m lookin’ for it, but I don’t even know where it is! (and
The numeral 2)
I don’t even really (before we announce the winner) know anything
Anymore, I just… (see, that doesn’t sound right either) I don’t really
Know what to do (let’s just) (alright) (let’s just) or do I? (recap) (Okay,
Let’s just try it, okay?) (the nominees.)
But, I still haven’t found it. (That’s the letter U, and the
Numeral 2.) Doesn’t make sense, but I still haven’t found it I’m looking.
I’m, no (I have the envelope here) I’m I’m looking for. No, (I have the
Envelope here) just I’m looking for it. (I have the envelope) (That’s the
Letter U, and the numeral 2.) (…NOBODY CAN FIND ME ON THIS FREQUENCY)
I just don’t know much of anything; maybe I oughta be shot
Point-blank in the stamper(?) tonight. (That’s the letter U, and the
Numeral 2.) (Alright, come on, find me, bet ya can’t find me)
Is that the way I say that? I dunno how to say it.
U2 I STILL HAVEN’T FOUND WHAT I’M LOOKING FOR
Well, I’ll be jiggered. There it is.
We’re counting down the 40 biggest hits in the fifty states.
Hey sewer-mouth, we’re gonna get ya.
This is American Top Furty
This is American Top 40, heard— God, I hate that, come out of
That, and then I gotta say the goddamned Amer— (and, uh) I hear the
American Top 40 jingle and then I say this is American Top 40. (and, uh..
The winner is…) Let the goddamn jingle ID this show. I ID the show
Whenever there isn’t a jingle, don’t I? (the winner is…) Don’t I do it
Between every goddamn record that we play?
INXS!
