I see I'm not the only one who didn't recognize Beautiful Day from the words he could get (or else just didn't know the lyrics to it).

Great idea, although I'm sure someone will come along and add an Arctic Monkeys Song Spree or some similarly semi-obscure group.

Guess I'm a bit behind the times with U2 - I don't even recognize Song 3 even after seeing the lyrics.

admittedly, the first words I tried were 'heart,' 'beautiful' and 'knees.'

Yet another "Beautiful Day" failure. Especially since all four other songs were from about a decade before it.

Even after I figured out "Beautiful Day", I abruptly realized I had no idea what the words were to that song.

I would sort of like to have the names of the songs, but thats just a personal preference thing. I typed in sunday and immediately removed Sunday, Bloody Sunday from my list of songs to take lyrics from. I did the same thing with "With or Without You" I typed in with and nothing showed up so I assumed the song wasn't there.

I managed to get 120 points just by blind guessing. In retrospect, though, I have heard at least two of those songs before; I was just dim.

Thanks for this one. I kinda liked U2 but they dwindled and dropped off the playlists. Sometimes you just need a reminder that they have really beautiful songs that will enrich your evenings every once in a while. Which is what I'm gonna do now. (BTW: I guessed three of the songs correctly but from the words I got you won't know which three because with the two others I got a lot of random words and with two of the ones I knew I had troubles with parts of the lyrics).

I would recommend changing 4 or 5 so you don't have 2 off of the same album.

@BrokenBahamut: I'm afraid you're right, I'm really old. The only songs I can remember all the words to are the ones I learned before I was thirty. I like "Beautiful Day", but don't ask me to do anything more than sing the chorus.

5 sporcles for including All I Want is You. A legendary & underrated song.

I spelled "sleight" wrong, but 188 ain't bad! Good song selection, hoping for another with more deep cuts!

Even when it's U2, "guess words" quizzes are stupid.

The lyrics to "Beautiful Day" are wrong, the words are "no space to run in this town."

Memories... Achtung Baby was one of the best concerts I've ever been to. I really wasn't much of a fan until I saw that show.

@Josh, it's not "guess words" if you know the words!

If anyone, like me, is not a U2 expert, and is wondering what the songs are, I'll share the benefit of my searching: With or without you; All I want is you; Beautiful day; New Year's day; Sunday bloody Sunday.
