Wait, what? You’ve seen this before? Oh, you’ve seen it a million times before? Oh, okay, well just watch it again. You know you want to. You have all weekend yo.

From the year 2000. In six parts:

Note: Flashback videos help Scatter O’ Light remember what it is about U2 that Scatter O’ Light loves. Only videos that meet the approval of the tiny sliver of heart inside Scatter O’ Light get flashback posted. This is a trend that will continue. Scatter O’ Light will also continue to make fun of current day U2 when applicable and/or whenever possible.

It’s so cruel on a couch I wonder if they know it’s Christmas

A few videos…

Bono’s version of So Cruel that will appear on the Blu Ray version of From The Sky Down that I won’t be buying. But this is nice.

Bono and Sting talking about the Glee cast performing Do They Know It’s Christmas on an episode of Glee that I won’t be watching. But just think of all the lives it will save.

U2 paying homage to Metallica and Metallica’s therapy sessions. AKA U2 band members lying on a couch. I’m Team Couch On The Left. Sometimes I’m sort of sad about that. But I’m committed.
