It was a good one... great quiz- Great work.
U2 was one of the first real concerts I'd attended on my own with a group of friends- i.e. sans the parental units.

Hi Frank, those are all correct!! 8) Thanks, and you're probably right about the tough part. That's how it can be when there's only a few items left. Glad you made it to this one. :)

Oops, I did not notice that you had. I looked through the "scrambled titles" quizzes from as far back as 2007, and didn't come across one for U2.
Your answers are both correct, but I can only give you credit for #22 because Frank already beat you to #7.

You might as well, since his limit is used up. You got this one!!
Now there is only one left!
Subject: Re: Scrambled U2 song titles (HURRY, ONLY 1 LEFT!)
Written By: nally on 09/07/09 at 7:19 pm
Okay, here's the deal. There is one song left, and the limit still stands. So if someone who hasn't used up their limit can figure out the one remaining song, then I will create a tiebreaker just for Q, ninny, Manda, and Frank. If no one figures out the remaining title within the next 24 hours, then I will lift the limit and see if anyone can figure it out. If the person who ends up figuring it out is not Frank, Q, mooster, or ninny, then I will do a tiebreaker for the four of them.

Wow...this one was finished in record time!!
Okay, I will load up a tiebreaker for Q, Janine, Manda, and Frank, in a little while.

Since the 25 main song titles ended in a four-way tie, I will set up a tiebreaker, but only for the four "finalists" (if you will): snozzberries, ninny, mooster and Frank.
Q, Janine, Manda, and Frank...this question is for the four of you only:
Unscramble this U2 song title.
26. GUM TO TAKE AMOUNT OF CONSTITUENCY

Yes, they can be. The trick is to be able to find cohesive English phrases for most of these song titles. And not use songs whose titles are too short. (For example, I did not use "One", since that is only three letters long, and of the five possible ways to arrange the letters (aside from O-N-E, of course), there might be only 2 arrangements that actually spell out something normal--- probably EON or NEO---and it would be too easy.)
As luck would have it...I just happened to be here when Jeff sent the word around - I'm never normally here at this time! ;D
I was hoping the other three folks might've been, and I certainly wasn't going to wait until the next morning. I know that there is the issue of timezones.
