Here are a few lines form U2 and the A-ha website

U2 sings lines from a-ha song

The biggest and most talked about concert on Norwegian soil this year has been the U2 gig at Valle Hovin yesterday. (That is until the great a-ha event in Frognerparken on August 27, of course.) U2 paid a tribute to Norway's greatest band by singing a few lines from "The Sun Always Shines On TV" incorporated in their own hit "Beautiful Day."


It's no secret that the song already had some similarities with "The Sun Always Shines On TV," and some have even accused U2 of plagiarism. "The resemblance is scary," The Edge told Dagbladet. "We didn't notice before we read it in Q."

"Those guys have ripped us off so many times anyway," Bono jokingly commented on the issue. Bass player Adam Clayton said that he think a-ha has been a misunderstood band. "They were looked upon as a group for teenage girls, but in reality they were a very creative band."

The forthcoming a-ha studio album has been mixed by the renowned engineer and producer Flood, who became known as an engineer on U2's landmark album "The Joshua Tree" from 1987.

...Other than the "Touch me" first line of a-ha's hook and U2's bridge?

I did some research and that's what Bono sang during "Beautiful Day":

"Touch me.... the sun always shines..... on TV"
