Flashback Friday Volume 5
Jul 27th, 2007 by msdanielle
I thought I’d bring it back again today with my Flashback Friday feature. I heard this song on the radio the other morning in my car and couldn’t resist singing along…the entire song…at the top of my lungs. This is one of my favorite bands of all time, and when I searched YouTube for this song, I realized I’d never seen this video before, at least, not that I could remember. Like always, feel free to sing along!
My best friend Angelica and I saw them in concert in 1992 (yes, that’s right, there were three encores!) at the Rose Bowl along with Donosaur Jr. and the Cranes. We had floor seats, and they were worth every single penny because it was their Wish tour and performed all my favorite songs. I know, you’re jealous, but it’s OK because they’re going on tour again. It’s not the Wish tour, but if you’re in Los Angeles, they’ll be at the Hollywood Bowl on October 14th. Do you have any memories associated with this song? It reminds me of ninth grade and all the rebellious antics that go along with being 15.
My other favorite Cure songs:
- Love Song
- Boys Don’t Cry
- Close To Me
- Lullaby
- In Between Days
- Letter to Elise
- Hot Hot Hot (How cute is Robert Smith in this video!?) I love YouTube…

haha, thats some crazy stuff i have more mainstream when i was that young developing my music taste!
nice old school vids though! i always preferred the goo goo dolls
never heard of em.. i think i was still in diapers.. jp.. nice job.. good video
Scary how young some people are these days! I asked some junior high school kids if they knew what a typewriter was, and only one did… she had seen it in a museum!
Get this. My mother just got a job where she actually uses a ball Type Writer to cut checks. I could not believe it.
Nice selection of songs, specially love song, I personally like the cover by 311 for it, Adam Sandler asked them to cover it for his movie 50 first dates, and if any of you have seen it you probably heard it. Anyways heres a for those who haven’t.
I’m guessing that you’re in your 30’s?
Are you kidding me?, the Cure is my all time favorite 80’s band too.
Love Song and Boy’s Don’t Cry are my favorites and Love Cats!
hey everyone, thanks for your comments! i hope you’re all singing along
The Cure!!!
They’re going to be in Vancouver soon, but I’m moving before the concert :’(
Nice video…haha…gotta love the old school music…
I think we need a little Funky Cold Madina to really kick it old school.
Yeah, ive never heard of them but the song is not bad at all. I was born in the late 80s! LOL
oh man…i can’t believe you guys don’t know the Cure! that’s crazy, you were probably like 4 when i went to that concert
definitely get schooled in the Cure, i think they’re one of the greatest bands of all time. but that’s just me… do you guys know Jane’s Addiction???
Hmm.. sadly the only Jane I know of is Jane May from DailyWebIdeas/JaneMayBlogs. I was born in ‘87 and according to Wikipedia they dissolved around 1991 so yeah, I was 4 at that time!
very sad indeed
i love jane’s addiction. check out their album “ritual de lo habitual.” classic…
@gregg - you can still learn the lyrics. and if you ever come out to LA we can go to karaoke and sing along together
@michael - thank you….. guess it’s my job to become the messenger.
I’ve never heard of them either!
I might have heard their songs before, but didn’t know who it was…I’m more into the newer stuff… I’d sing along if I knew the lyrics!!

Folks that have never heard of the Cure? What is this world coming to?
Oh man, I’m loving the 80’s videos, Keep them coming.
hahahaha… you don’t even know what i have up my sleeve!
LOL
