Lyrics:
Don't move
Don't talk out-a time,
Don't think
Don't worry, everything's just fine
Just fine.
Don't grab
Don't clutch
Don't hope for too much
Don't breathe
Don't achieve
Don't grieve without leave.
Don't check, just balance on the fence
Don't answer
Don't ask
Don't try and make sense.
Don't whisper
Don't talk
Don't run if you can walk,
Don't cheat, compete
Don't miss the one beat.
Don't travel by train
Don't eat
Don't spill
Don't piss in the drain
Don't make a will.
Don't fill out any forms
Don't compensate
Don't cover
Don't crawl
Don't come around late
Don't hover at the gate
Don't take it on board
Don't fall on your sword
Just play another chord
If you feel you're getting bored
Don't change your brand
Don't listen to the band
Don't gape
Don't ape
Don't change your shape
Have another grape
Don't plead
Don't bridle
Don't shackle
Don't grind
Don't curve
Don't swerve
Don't lie, die, serve
Don't theorise, realise, polarise
Chance, dance, dismiss, apologise
Don't spy
Don't lie
Don't try
Imply
Detain
Explain
Start again
Don't triumph
Don't coax
Don't cling
Don't hoax
Don't freak

Okay, I know the word "underrated" gets tossed around a lot on the internet these days... but Zooropa really is criminally underrated. Such a brilliant album from end to end, and yet I hardly hear anyone, aside from other U2 fans, say a word about it. It really deserves more love and recognition.

@@weezer1109 See, I'm gonna have to disagree with you there. I think the whole record is consistently good, although I think "The First Time" falls a bit flat. Yes, Achtung Baby was *the* groundbreaking record that saw a total shift in their sound, but... I dunno, I adore Zooropa and think it's a pretty consistently great record.

This is how my love for U2 started. I was in Caracas at the time when I first heard this song on the radio, the announcer said the title of it is "Sin Sentido" which means "without feeling". So I went to every freaking record store looking for any U2 album that had that title on the song list. But I couldn't find it! So at the last record store left in the city, I came across Zooropa and one of the songs is named Numb and I'm thinking, "That's it, that's got to be it!" The rest of the album was phenomenal and I was wondering who these folks were and I got all their albums. It's amazing it took me that long to discover U2.

@@pant-hootingchimp8917 I'm not sure what the story is with the wild Horses video, I worked in the movie biz and with U2 a couple times during their Zootv period as I was also part of the "Even better than the Real Thing" music video that we shot in London and the Zootv outside broadcast over in Dublin. So our video like most of the others was shot on industry standard 90's video but upscaling is a tricky subject when your're up scaling from an original source material which in this case is video as it's a long, long way from HD and you can see from looking closely at the new versions of the "Even better" and now "Numb" videos the overall picture is still slightly soft as unfortunately you can't put in fine detail that never there to start with, even today with best computers and software it still isn't proper HD and can never be because it wasn't originally shot that way, yes it's a vast improvement on how the videos all originally looked but you get to a point with upscaling you find you can go no further and tend to end up below 1080p, either way it definitely looks great and at least now The Doppelgangers are easier to spot in the "Even Better" video now

People were already taking selfies during Andy Warhol’s time

[@crush5781]

I know right it's crazy to see how ahead-of-its-time this music video was considering fact selfies don't mainstream until the 2010s considering the fact that this was 1993 you didn't have smartphones or the technology we have now back in 93 Millennials and gen Z should be thanking for creating the selfie

[@celieboo]

I'm gen x and we gave been taking selfish since FOREVER. Handheld cameras came put well before phone cameras.

[@freedom4mealways]

Three decades ago the music world became Numb with this song and video. U2 was back then, still is, and will always be a Hall Of Fame band.

[@redskies4530]

Hi I recommend a song that's called 'The Bond Villain ' By Robert Nix

[@axlsg6511]

And this folks is how 🤳 selfies were invited

[@flyriviera]

The funniest U2 video! And his wife appearing at the end. So young we were! Even the manager appears!

[@Ultimecia029]

At the time of the video, I don't think she was his wife yet. He was still married to Aislinn O'Sullivan at the time.

[@pioneernut7487]

Future wife. EDGE fell in love with this dancer during mysterious ways clip

[@gzz8551]

People taking selfies at the end...I was like "selfies in 1993??"

[@celieboo]

Selfish have been around since hand held cameras were invented. Ever heard if a Polaroid? A selfie with that took some serious skill.

[@MinekEzQM]

Well... even Renaissance painters made self-portraits, later nicknamed as selfies.

[@yurivasconcelos13]

Adam's bass is just killing it!

[@elizabethmcleod246]

This is such a weird song for a lead single, it's amazing

[@frederickalvarez4970]

La mejor época de U2, ojala volvieran a grabar un disco del Calibre de Zooropa o Achtung Baby, estos discos son el Soundtrack de mi adolecencia...

[@JJOL72]

Exacto amigo, mi epoca de prepa.

[@gianlucachiaretto5120]

Zooropa doveva nascere come un Q disc...ma erano troppo ispirati. Per me il migliore !

[@robertoc.dominguez6856]

No tiene sentido que quisieran volver a sacar un disco así 30 años después. Ambos discos plasman lo que era la banda en ese momento. Son únicos, irrepetibles. Obras maestras.

[@tonapittman]

[@carpepoem]

I perfectly remember the MTV Music Awards 1993 - I was 13 and watched MTV all night long. When The Edge entered the stage it was a magic moment for me. His live performance of "Numb" was the coolest thing I had ever seen. And although I've seen lots of very cool things within the last 31 years - this remains the coolest music performance I've ever seen!

[@compactegon]

These were the good times, when modern innovation still revealed its genius to us hand in hand with real music.

[@miguelprestado1507]

Fascinante

Zooropa was my very first CD brand new out of the store shelf purchased with my own money when i was a kid back in the 90's and i still have it. It felt like going to a Porsche dealership and buy a new 911...

[@eversonpereira8849]

Espetacular!! Assisti no dia do lançamento, na MTV!

[@eduardocesar9747]

Eu também. Gravei no VHS e fiquei revendo umas 15 vezes, atônito com a qualidade de tudo. Bons tempos aqueles da verdadeira MTV.

I can't remember ever hearing this one before, how wicked a feeling that is....I love it 💜

[@honzaandrysek5351]

Everything’s just fine

[@danebraimage]

Wow , what a great track. What a great video. I remember when it first came out how polarising it was. Edge on lead vocals and Bono on backing vocals put a lot of people off at the time. But it holds up sooo well. I absolutely love it. So many layers, it just works. Thank you U2

[@nostromo7928]

I wish Edge got to be lead singer a little more often just for the sake of variety. He has a really good voice.

[@danebraimage]

@@nostromo7928 agree , Van Diemen’s Land off Rattle and Hum deserves more respect too. It should get the crowd noise and the blooper interview taken out of the track.

[@jeanackle]

I remember I absolutely loved this song back then. I'm not a "repeat" kind of guy, but this one I did put on repeat. And my friends, including the U2 fans, were like "Dude, you alright?" LOL

[@jamesheine2955]

@@danebraimage That was part of the film soundtrack. I saw U2 for the first time on the 1987 Joshua Tree tour, November 14. An all day affair with the Pretenders and the BoDeans as opening acts. A stellar night I'll never forget!

Edge was actually rapping here xD

They were until about 1998. Then all the pop tarts, neo-swing, nu-metal and other shit clogged the media.

[@conradbo1]

I am not sure why but this is one of my favorite songs ever. I only had one cassette in my car at one time and it was Zooropa and I could remember listening to this song over and over. And still to this day I love it and I also really like the bizarre video. 😍😍✌✌👍👍😍😍

So astonishingly ahead of its time. He's not looking at the camera, he's looking at the exact same thing you are; the screen. Just from the other side. Now you can't go five feet without a screen to stare at.

The best song U2 ever did...because Bono isn't entirely involved. Beat that, Beautiful Day!

So glad they kept the Zooropa version on the video, and didn't replace it with the vastly inferior mix from The Best Of.
