  • shut up hoes this song ROCKS NERDS peace

  • This is what you need to hear when you wake up. just to get you going in the mornings.

  • Not a fan of this, just sounds like a midi-track in comparison to the original. No feeling in it.

  • @Deuron3 No.

  • do you have any link to download this???

  • best. cover. ever.

  • @cpob1688 sorry but the best cover ever was Hurt by Johnny Cash.

  • Way more Ben Folds songs should have this many views!!

  • sorry this sux compared to the cure,its a joke,not remotley good,

  • kinda like this one more than the original because the piano is more defined, but as far as lyrics, The Cure gets credit of course.

  • i effing love this more than the real song.

  • sorry, no "edge" to this cover at all, it does not do Robert and The Cure justice, this proves there are only 2 bands in the world, The Cure and then the rest

  • it made feel as happy as i feel when i listen to the original

  • Comment removed

  • couldnt change for the cure<3

  • I can't stand how people like Ben Folds aren't credited more for their music.

  • @JTBproductionss The general public are retarded. Retarded like Deathawkgnar as it would seem. Hence why mainstream radio is a joke. Not a funny one either, an annoying one, like a knock knock joke. However, credited to the invention of auto tuners and highly payed song writers, talented musicians who can actually play an instrument AND sing make less money than untalented halfwits like Katy Perry or, whats that group with the 3 fags that all the young kids like? Jonas brothers. Those feltchers

  • @stickybud12 But is it really about the money? Can't any artist at any point in time make the choice to sell out? Isn't it cooler that they don't get all the money, and they keep making music because of how much they love it? That's how I feel.

  • So whichever one you've heard first you like better right? Right.

  • really liked this cover until the singing starts...don't think his voice is a good fit for this song

  • You're all ritards. This is win.

  • @lepopnoir ... I would like your comment, except I don't know what "ritards" are. (People who kill brain cells overdosing on Ritalin?)

  • This is a lamentable cover.

    Robert Smith must be fuming!

  • @Sarson72 actually, Ben Folds has a good relationship with the Cure. He's always been a big fan, and I'm sure it meant alot to them that he decided to include a tribute to them on his EP.

  • @Deathhawkgnar It's good to see kind people still out in the world.

    Douche.

  • It's so much fun to play this! I've started this for piano lessons, and it's definitely my favorite of anything I've ever done. :)

  • This version is so pretty!

  • pure energy !!

  • i love that fast paced drum beat, makes me feel lyk jumping around

  • this is really good, ben folds voice is good. i dont think its as unique or good as robert smiths, but its definitely good

  • I gotta say, I know a lot of people debate on which is better, but when I first heard this version, I fell in love with it...

    Not saying the Cure is terrible, I'm just saying that this is a modern version with a lot of heart, and I absolutely adore it.

    Ben Folds is just a gorgeous mind.

  • Im gonna name my kid Ben Folds,

    Such an awesome name.

  • @ChioSuper94 she’s gonna hate you for that.

  • Ben Folds basically billy-joalized this song! Nice!

  • Anyone know if there's sheet music for this floating around the internets? I might try my hand at transcribing it ... we'll see how that goes.

  • Interesting Interpretation. It didn't quite work for me, but a valiant effort by a great band. 4/5

  • not bad at all, cheers

  • The Cure as played on a pub piano, funny.

  • this is by FAR the better version of the song

  • Yupp

  • Comment removed

  • i prefer x10000 the original version.

    <3 The Cure.

  • Faster...yes...better....no.

  • its an...interesting cover....

    but i'll always prefer the cure's original

    yeah Robert Smith!!

  • figures, Ben Folds can take an amazing song by The Cure and make it even more amazing

  • @boonetip00 I think you mean make something amazing generic and lame. This is fucking awful.

  • I found this song whith an app of the iPhone that says the name of the song

    Wonderful!

  • Jeez how I prefer the Cure version... :/

  • As heard in the new Apple iPad promotional video

  • @mdjanson the version in the ad seems to be a really decent edit, or an actual instrumental version of this song. i want the instrumental version almost as much as the device in the promo vid!

  • I agree - iPad is fail - Ben Folds is win

  • That's not what i said at all, they both clearly win in my book.

  • @redheadedkris Well at least we can agree on BF :)

  • Aye, that we can :)

  • Ditto!

  • i adore this song, and in particular this version

  • Comment removed

  • Another Ben Folds cover that I enjoy more than the original. Well done!

  • i like this song :] lyrics r kinda sad though but it's ok :D

  • @stephenp1968 u suck

  • I think it loses a lot with the synth being replaced by a piano. Great song though.

  • there is a version wich is better than that (for me), but it isn´n appear in youtube. It's from The obligattions. Girl voice is incredible.

  • love this song soooo much! the lyrics are like... depressing... but it's so upbeat and happy tempo'd! :D

  • you are a complete fucktard for even thinking that comment say robert cannot sing is like claiming fish carnt swim

  • @dragonfitter I don't know what comment you're replying to, but I've gotta say...the way this is written is pretty retarded.

  • @dragonfitter

    ...or that you can't spell.

  • ur kidding right?

  • where the hell can i find this cover??? what cd? whereeee?????/

  • Supersunnyspeedgraphic, the lp.

  • One of my Favorites covering another one of my favorites =D

  • Wow, this is such a great cover! :D

    Hes taken the original and utilized every piece of it to transform the song into something that sounds the same...yet gives such a different feeling

    I LOVE IT!!!!

    Once again ben folds' ultimate awesomeness triumphs, and his amazing skills in music kick ass!!!

  • i absolutely love this cover.

  • i love itttt:)

  • IMPROVEVERYWHERE!!!!

  • he/she is referring to improveverywhere . com

  • He did this song? :D

    I love his cover of "Bitches ain't shit" by Dr Dre.

  • great cover of one of the greatest songs of the 80's ...........

  • its not about which is better

  • awh ben fold's voice is so cute sounding.

  • Fun, upbeat, great piano. Very good cover of a very good song by an amazing band.

  • I love both versions honestly. They're both really enjoyable to listen to. I mean, obviously everyone will say The Cure's original song was the better of the two, but only because it IS the original. I think they're both equally great though. I mean, their styles are pretty distinguishable from each other and have different ways of playing music.

  • I agree completely!

    I absolutely LOVE ben folds...

    I absolutely LOVE the cure....

    It isn't even possible for me to decide which one I like better. They are both amazing =D

  • The Cure is a band that means a LOT to me, and so is this song. You can't really even compare this to the original. When Robert Smith sings, I can feel the emotion, the pain. When I hear this, the only emotion I feel is disappointment.

  • yeah!!! it's really!!!!!

  • That's why it's a cover. Idiot.

  • His voice is way to boyish to do The Cure.

  • so i heard this before i ever heard the cure one and when i heard the instrumentals sampled on the new girl talk cd i thought it was a ben folds cover haha

  • Ben Sheets bricks.

  • Love Me some Ben Folds and now thanks to this song I'm getting into the Cure. I didn't realize they sang most of the songs they sang.

  • great stuff, the cure are my favourite all time band, with a multitude of sonic styles they just rock.

  • this a great cover. obivously its no rob smith, but he definetly wouldnt be emberassed by it

  • cool cover, vocals dont compare to robert smith's tho.

  • love this song...best song ever!

    <3

  • I like it buddy...

    Thanks
