How is this related to Zomby?

[AuralSects1]

The most perfect pop track ever recorded

[OnLoanToEverton]

WOW! Your the first person I've ever seen or heard say that these are your #1 and #2 Cure songs of all time. They are also my 2 favorites. I've met a lot of Cure fans that don't even know these 2 songs. They are by far my favorite band of all time!

[InCatlandWithJane]

i LOVE this song. it's my 2nd favorite Cure track of all time. my # 1 fave Cure song is "A Few Hours After This" (both songs that are B-Sides on the UK pressing for the 12" for "In Between Days")

and - some Cure triva for fans who may not know - "The Exploding Boy" was the inital working title for this record. or - as we now know it to be, "The Head on the Door".

thanks for the upload of this version. it's so brilliant that i can never get sick of this song. neva eva

One of the best, and unknown, Cure songs!

[thestarsgoblue]

where the fuck did you find this?

[lovetownsend]

@thestarsgoblue thats what i was thinking lol

[spudsy27]

I didn't know this was originally by the cure either.. it sounds so much like an alkaline trio sort of song, alot like their other songs. so yeh very cool

[webster670]

So do you think Porl was playing the sax in this performance?

[Carollanzaa]

I LOVE THE CURE!!!!

[bananafish16]

[gogotomgo46]

Does anyone know what the time signiture of this song is? Its crazy.

[TheGreatIndoors1979]

@gogotomgo46 4/4 to the floor :)

[Ferrignohh]

i been listening to alkaline trio for ten years now, and i never knew they covered The Cure...im slightly embarrassed lol

[ColtsKilla9527]

this songs like trippy lol

[theonlytruepunk]

@ColtsKilla9527 Like, I am so sure.

[joli222000]

Brilliant. Haven't heard this for years.

[podisracer]

alkaline trio do an excellent cover of this song!

[TheExpertsInc]

@podisracer TRUE THAT!

[MephProduction]

never understood how this was cut from the album.. it's a real gem

[TheSkoeter]

@MephProduction

yeaalways felt like this should replace screw or hws it called form head on the door

[theonlytruepunk]

@MephProduction I think I have this as a B side on "Inbetween Days"

[webster670]

@MephProduction I agree. And A Few Hours After This is absolutel perfection! They're both definitely album worthy songs.

[DaydreamNationx24]

@MephProduction

I think it was probably because it's such a strange sounding song, even by The Cure's standards.
