U2 comes to the Valley from a concert Sunday night at Oklahoma Memorial Stadium. A highlight there was Bono singing a bit of the Beach Boys' "God Only Knows" at the end of "Beautiful Day."

edit.

Here it is (3.50). Sorry Bono. Carl beats you hands down!

I'm not sure but I recall bono being killed in a skiing accident/

grok?

[Rocker]

He sings "God only knows the way I feel about you". Doesn't sound like GOK by the BBs to me

haha, I sure wish that odious, jumped-up little prick would ski into a tree like his namesake. Actually I'd prefer to see him somehow ski directly into a woodchipper/vat of sulfuric acid.......

Bono has long interpolated other performers' songs into his own during concerts; sometimes the juxtaposition is quite appealing and revealing, othertimes not so much. I'd say this mangling of the GOK lyric is not too inspired.

It does remind me of that story of Bono meeting Brian a couple of years back (at the Ivor Novello Songwriting Award ceremony?). Bono, dressed in black, approached Brian's table to introduce himself and to exclaim that he was a big fan of Wilson's music. Brian responded "Thank you...I'd like a Diet Coke, please". Bono paused for a moment before realizing Brian had mistaken him for a member of the waitstaff, then proceeded directly to the bar and returned with Brian's soda in hand!

Yes. Awesome.

I'd like to think Brian knew exactly who the egotistical bastard was.
