Unos, Dos, Tres, Catorce – U2 Topped UK Singles Chart This Day 20 Years Ago With Their Red-Hot Rocker ‘VERTIGO’

Top singles from the past

14 November 2024

Rock giants U2 occupied the top seat of the UK Charts 20 years ago today, on
14 November 2004 with probably their hottest rocker ever VERTIGO. It was one
of the singles from their 11th studio LP How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb of
which a deluxe 20-anniversary edition will come out next week, November 22.

The song’s opening words ‘Unos, dos, tres, catorce‘ translate in English to
‘some, two, three, fourteen‘. When asked about this oddity in an interview
for Rolling Stone, Bono replied “there may have been some alcohol involved”.

Unos, dos, tres, catorce
Turn it up loud, captain

Hello, hello (hola)
I’m at a place called Vertigo (¿dónde está?)
It’s everything I wish I didn’t know
Except you give me something
I can feel, feel

Unos Dos Tres Catorce… WAKE UP!

Works faster than caffeine

Bono starts the song saying Unos Dos Tres Catorce
which means “1, 2, 3, 14” in Spanish.

Some believe that he referred to the Bible:
1st Testament, 2nd Book, 3rd Chapter, 14th verse.

“And God said unto Moses, I am that I am: and he said,
thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I am that
sent me unto you.”

Others say that he did it because it was the first single of
How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb, U2’s 14th LP.

As we know, Bono was/still is a preaching
rock ‘n’ roll star, so I go for the Bible quote.

Anyway Vertigo it’s a master blaster.

1, 2, 3, 14…
