I heard someone doing a country music version of this song on the radio today.

I don't know which version is worse.

This, or in fact anything by U2 - the only group in history that couldn't play their instruments when they started out and still can't.

I used to think that song was referencing Bishop Tuttu.

I'd be very happy to leave your toot toot alone missus.

According to Wikipedia Mike Denver has done a version, so good chance it might have been him you heard. Bizarrely, it appears that the original was a zydeco song (a Cajun style of music originating in Louisiana) and won a Grammy for Best Ethnic or Traditional Folk recording in 1986.

Although I like zydeco music, I've never heard the original, but the version above is bloody awful.

Watching reruns of Top Of The Tops 1992 on BBC4 when this abomination charted. There were a few terrible video game spin off singles from that time, the Tetris one being another.

Heard this on my local radio station today,and while many would not see this as an awful song,when I heard that "Kyrie Elaison" song by Mister Mister I remembered how I used to absolutely hate the chorus..... maybe because the same words were repeated all the time and used to drive me mad

That's true, but U2s music isn't about the instruments, just as Bob Dylans wasn't about the singing. Bob Dylan couldn't sing.

You spin me right round like a record. Terrible song - yet someone did an even worse cover about 10 years ago and it became a hit. Mind boggles

Mike Denver's cover of Don't Mess With My Toot Toot. Just the mental image of all the jivers spinning away had me laughing so much my OH thought I was having a break down 😂
