I don't know if it's necesary in the article, but this song was also memorably critiqued in an old Beavis and Butt-Head episode. Vic729 May 28th,2007 12:36PM, EDT

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:U2numb.jpg

Image:U2numb.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is Image:U2numb.jpg explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:42, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "monochordic"

The lead currently says "The song is a repeating, monochordic mantra ...". Is "monochordic" really the right word? The word gets 172 ghits, and doesn't seem to be a common word (though there is an article titled monochord). Perhaps monotonous is the word they're looking for? (or possibly even monochromic) The harmony does actually change throughout the song (it's the melody that doesn't change), so it's incorrect to suggest the song focuses on only one main chord. --98.206.221.93 (talk) 05:20, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
