Santigold - Killing an Arab (The Cure cover) @ Lollapalooza 2009 in Chicago

[DJEclipseNiagara]

It takes cojones to play it live without altering the lyrics like Robert does nowadays, because not everyone knows that the song is based on Camus' 'L'Etranger'.

sucks ,,sucks ,,sucks,,horrible cover

[perroturcas]

jajajaja.... esta re parchado ese video, el baile y todo XD

[SugarBean915]

I hate how all these comments seem to be aimed at the contraversial nature of the song, rather than how well than the band did. Santigold, I never knew of you before I searched up "The Cure covers" but I will certainly be searching now; I love the talent of your band members, and their enthusiasm.

YouTube comments are an eternal well of entertainment.

[Handthatfeedzyou]

i wonder what Robert Smith thinks about this..........

[fraserstreetrecords]

"the book was boring as all get out" - they need to disable Youtube comments.

[beefwithbroccoli]

camu's - the stranger

[ashtrayheartx]

@Sasquatched23 Has nothing to do with hating Islam. It's based ona book.

[ohlookitsjoey]

people, this is a cover of the "killing an arab" by the cure about the novel "The Stranger."

but without that knowledge I guess it does take on a different connotation

[FabuLiz218]

@ohlookitsjoey i read that book....it was boring as all get out lol but a song a about it is a whole lot better

[sjin93]

[fuclcjewtube]

what the hell with the racist nigger bitch

[CheckeredDemon310]

@fuclcjewtube

.....this song is not what you think it its and you are calling HER a racist? The song doesn't even use any racial slurs in it.

[pqboi]

@fuclcjewtube The song was inspired by the book "the strangers" and was not meant to be racial in anyway.
