Ah, good fun was had by all today as the Christian O’Connell Breakfast Show did a spoof interview with one of their staff members and Bono. Brian, the reluctant staffer calling in from holiday in Sardinia, phoned in to do his “fantasy” interview with Bono.

He asked 14 questions and the responses were all soundbytes from one of U2’s songs. Here’s a *rough* transcription:

Hello, Bono?
“Hello Hello”
Do we have a bad connection here?
“Hello Hello”
Try holding your phone up to your ear, Bono. I know you’ve lost your car keys recently…any luck with that?
“I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For.”
Did you check the last place you had them?
“I’ve been all over.” (from Beautiful day)
Ah, never mind. I’m sure they’ll turn up. Are you doing the marathon again this year?
“I want to run”
I’ve sprained my ankle and I know you’re a trained St. John’s Ambulance volunteer - what do you recommend?
“Elevation”
Ah, thanks, Bono. I’ve got a rash as well…
“Is it getting better?” (from One)
Not really, Bono, but I’ve got to go to the doctor’s, but I don’t want to go there on my own…
“I’ll go there with you” (from Streets)
Cheers, Bono. Why do you wear shades?
“Blinding lights” (from COBL)
Oh. I hear The Edge loves experimenting with cooking and his signature dish is a riff from the classic toad in a hole - what is it?
“A mole digging in a hole”
Well, anyway Bono, it’s been great chatting with you…
“I’ve gotta go”
Yeah, me too. You still playing those fruit machines?
“Yeah, I’m running outta change”
Ah, well anyway, thanks for coming on the show
“It’s all right”
Thanks.
“It’s all right”
Anyway…
“It’s all right”
