The Cure: "Wrong Number"

[singingsparrow]

I remember when I was seven years old this video was probably the one that freaked me out the most, with the ticket booth zombie man, the eerie neon special effects, and who the heck was that guy dancing in that suit? He looked like the host of some 70's game show.

"Wrong Number" has to be one of the most underrated songs of The Cure if not THE most underrated. At over six minutes long, it is buzzing with Alternative rock flair and somber lyrics painted in shades of green, tangerine, red and gold. I especially love the ending with Rob Smith muttering, "Hey, you're still there? Sorry...wrong number. yeah, sorry, wrong number!"

Sincerely,
Noah Eaton

I think that was the Never Enough video. The one with the band trapped inside that circus display box.

Although Wrong Number does kick ass, and is underrated.

Ohhh, this is probably my favorite Cure song except for maybe "Fascination Street." You can tell it's the Cure but it fit in with the time period it was released. It was quite popular on Hits 106 when it was out.
