On Candy Striped Legs the Spiderman Comes Softly Through

You recognize those lyrics above if you are a fan of the excellent band known as The Cure. If Robert Smith had gone with a green tint to his hair in this live performance, he would have looked like Heath Ledger's "Joker" some 20 years before the role. Interestingly enough, this became The Cure's highest charting single in the UK making it all the way up to #5. Here is The Cure with "Lullaby"...

You Make Me, Make Me, Make Me

As we creep up on Halloween, I always think of The Cure as being a somewhat fitting band for this holiday... so for today, enjoy the undeniably quirky, and totally unique band The Cure with a video not choreographed by Paula Abdul, but nonetheless works very well for them... from 1987, here is "Why Can't I Be You?"...
