Unos, Dos, Tres, Catorce???

Okay, Megan pointed it out to me once and now it just flat out annoys me. Bono sings in U2's latest song, "Unos, Dos, Tres, Catorce." It such a bad screw up (or is it?) that even Shakira fans are pointing it out (even though they can't spell catorce (cuatorce?).

Here's why it drives me crazy. Translate what he's saying to English and you get "Some, Two, Three, Fourteen."

There are some interesting theories out there. From a biblical reference John 3:14 to just plain screwing around or just a flat out mix up. I tell you one thing though: if it was thrown in deliberately, it's genius marketing on U2's part. If you go to the Google link above, he's stirred up quite a lot of Blogs.
