Well, a guy I know usually counts off like: “one, two, five, twelve” or something similar, just because he thinks “one, two, three, four” is too boring, and that it’s not the numbers that matter, but the beat.

If I may – At the beginning of the song Bono counts off in Spanish “¡Unos, dos, tres, catorce!”[7] In English, this translates 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.”

Wrong again, If any of the 500 million people quoting that had any sense to actually look up REAL FACTS, they’d see that Atomic Bomb was U2′s eleventh album. And none of the live DVD’s count. Boy, October, War, The Unforgettable Fire, The Joshua Tree, Rattle and Hum, Achtung Baby, Zooropa, Pop, All That You Can’t Leave Behind and now at 11, How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb. Where do you people get these ideas?

Yeah, but the 14 was put in as a nod to the fact that “How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb” was U2′s 14th Album.

Actually, Bono said, “UNOS, dos…” which, quite frankly, I found even more offensive…

Fantastic work, though.
