There were two separate music videos made for this song -- one was the cinematic black and white video, and the other was just a simple tour of the recording sessions in Slane Castle.--68.54.17.184 02:23, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
- The black and white video showed several places around Ringsend in Dublin, including the East-Link bridge.Autarch 19:09, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Moulin Rouge cover
It should be noted here that this song is part and parcel of the Elephant Love Song medley in the movie. Anyone who edits this frequently please note. Berserkerz Crit 09:35, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
- I removed it from the list of covers. Firstly, it is not really a cover, it's a six-second snippet on top of the song, and secondly i really don't think it is notable for and encyclopedia. Merbabu 09:45, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
- Hmm okay. But IMO I think it is notable since the lyrics were used to portray a different angle in the name of love (for sex). Maybe not suitable as part of the section cover but in the Trivia? Berserkerz Crit 15:53, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
- Um, please no triva. Trivia = trivial = not notable = unencyclopedic. Sorry. In fact, if one must include it, then list it under the covers section but make it clear it was a very short snippet within another song. i do like the film though - amazing. kind regards --Merbabu 16:03, 13 April 2007 (UTC) Merbabu 16:03, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
- Oops I see there is no trivia section. The bullets I saw were titled as Covers. Hmm I'll try to come up with a decent bullet sentence if I can. =) Berserkerz Crit 02:24, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Grammar in lyrics
The grammar in the lyrics is, as far as I can see, highly unusual. The first sentece goes 'One man come in the name of love', whereas I would expect 'One man come[u]s[/s] in the name of love'. I'm not a native English speaker and Bono is, so I expect there is some reason for it. (My Word-version marks it as grammatically incorrect ;)) Is it Subjunctive mood, Imperative mood, Artistic freedom or something completely else? Although I would like a simple answer, the article would not improve much by original research. I searched internet, and found this forum with the same question, where it is answered as being subjunctive (somebody else suggests it's perfect tense, but that does not cover the rest of the lyrics). But this forum is not a reliable source. There must have been some place (book/magazine/...) where the lyrics were discussed and the unusual grammar was mentioned. Can somebody provide such a source? --EdgeNavidad (talk) 07:40, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
