The Cure- Friday I'm in Love
- The dancing in this video does not seem to have any choreography, there is no acting, but there are quite a few scenes in which the band are shown playing, with Rob smith singing.
- The video consists of fun scenes, where they look like they are having a good time. They are seen picking up and playing with random objects, perhaps trying to show how fun and random they are.
- The record label demands a lot of scenes of Rob Smith because he is the lead singer and in some ways he is the lead of the band. Another reason as to why The Cure's record label would demand a lot of scenes of Robert Smith is because a lot of men and boys in the 80's and 90's would look up to Rob as a role model and a fashion icon.
- The lyrics aren't very relevant to the video, as they just seem to be trashing the set and playing with props and costumes.
- The director of this music video is Tim Pope, and the band actually has multiple record labels. Fiction, Suretone, Geffen, Polydor, Elektra, Asylum and Sire records all play some part in producing music for The Cure.
- Rob Smith's wacky and out of control, punk rock hair is certainly a motif.
- There are also a couple of inter-textual references to do with this song, for example, the opening line to the song, 'I don't care if Monday's blue' is from the New Order song 'Blue Monday'.
- Robert Smith also stated that 'the song about seeing your girl on Fridays was for people who "aren't actually fans of The Cure."
