    MTV Icons - The Cure ?

    Didn't even know this happened but just stumbled on the start of it on MTV2 here in the UK. Anyone seen it and should I be worried that someone is going to destroy a song I love?

    Hadn't seen or heard this, but cool regardless.

    And I don't think we have much to worry about, no one can butcher a Cure song as bad as 311 killed "Love Song".

    Spend you some brain.

              It's from the Adam Sandler movie, 50 First Dates. It's got a reggae feel to it. Blah.

                  I love that one too. I'm trying to find a download of the show, or even some of the songs.

                  If I turn them up, I'll send you some links.

                            That's my most favorite Cure song ever. I even tried to cover it when I was in High School.

                                pretty much the perfect pop song in my eyes...it is the song I am using to learn to play guitar

                                  We move like cagey tigers
                                  We couldn't get closer than this
                                  The way we walk
                                  The way we talk
                                  The way we stalk
                                  The way we kiss
                                  We slip through the streets
                                  While everyone sleeps
                                  Getting bigger and sleeker
                                  And wider and brighter
                                  We bite and scratch and scream all night
                                  Let's go and throw
                                  All the songs we know...

                                  Into the sea
                                  You and me
                                  All these years and no one heard

                                  It's a treacherous thing
                                  We missed you hissed the lovecats

                                  We're so wonderfully wonderfully wonderfully
                                  Wonderfully pretty!
                                  Oh you know that I'd do anything for you...
                                  We should have each other to tea huh?
                                  We should have each other with cream
                                  Then curl up by the fire
                                  And sleep for awhile
                                  It's the grooviest thing
                                  It's the perfect dream

                                  Into the sea
                                  You and me
                                  All these years and no one heard

                                  Hand in hand
                                  Is the only way to land
                                  And always the right way round
                                  Not broken in pieces
                                  Like hated little meeces...
                                  How could we miss
                                  Someone as dumb as this?

                                  I love you... let's go...
                                  Oh... solid gone...
                                  How could we miss

                                    Standing on the beach
                                    With a gun in my hand
                                    Staring at the sea
                                    Staring at the sand
                                    Staring down the barrel
                                    At the arab on the ground
                                    I can see his open mouth
                                    But I hear no sound
                                    I'm alive
                                    I'm dead
                                    I'm the stranger
                                    Killing an arab

                                    I can turn
                                    And walk away
                                    Or I can fire the gun
                                    Staring at the sky
                                    Staring at the sun
                                    Whichever I chose
                                    It amounts to the same
                                    Absolutely nothing

                                    I'm alive
                                    I'm dead
                                    I'm the stranger
                                    Killing an arab

                                    I feel the steel butt jump
                                    Smooth in my hand
                                    Staring at the sea
                                    Staring at the sand
                                    Staring at myself
                                    Reflected in the eyes
                                    Of the dead man on the beach
                                    The dead man on the beach

                                    I'm alive
                                    I'm dead
                                    I'm the stranger
                                    Killing an arab

                                          The Cure is my all time favorite band followed by Erasure.

                                          Both are gone now for the most part but thats life.

                                            heard the sad news about Andy Bell? On the plus side they are touring next year and I *will* see them.

                                                If you like the cure, check out The Rapture, and Interpol.

                                                  It's always a pleasure discovering there is a minority on this board with good taste in music.

                                                  Love The Cure. Finally got to see them at Curiosa NYC in august along with Interpol.

                                                  Can't believe they let Blink 182 cover that shit though

                                                  How's the deftones one? should be ok at least?

                                                      You sure about that? Erasure is playing in January here in Florida.

                                                        The Cure and Erasure have both toured this year and The Cure had a top 10 hit this year.
