Matt Knight’s 4:20 HIT of the Day – The Cure “Friday I’m In Love”

The "4:20 HIT of the Day" is a song I think will give you some good vibes, 'spark up' nostalgia or just remind you about a tune you might love but just haven't heard in a while. This was posted on a Friday, the song has "Friday" in the title and it's an instant classic. So it's got all the makings of today's "4:20 Hit of the Day." It's The Cure "Friday I'm In Love." Released as the second single from their ninth studio album Wish in 1992, the song was a worldwide hit, reaching #6 in the UK and #18 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US. Robert Smith described it as both "a throw your hands in the air, let's get happy kind of record" and "a very naïve, happy type of pop song." During the writing process, Smith became convinced that he had inadvertently stolen the chord progression from somewhere, and this led him to a state of paranoia where he called everyone he could think of and played the song for them, asking if they had heard it before. None of them had, and Smith realized that the melody was indeed his. "It's always been paradoxical that it's pushed down people's throats that we're a goth band," Smith observed. "Because, to the general public, we're not. To taxi drivers, I'm the bloke that sings 'Friday I'm in Love'." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGgMZpGYiy8 [ss-signup design_id="251773"]
