Sexy For "The Cure"

No, I'm not talking about the Sussex nightmare of 1976 (alright I do like The Cure, but at the same time I acknowledge that it’s not going to get me anywhere- just like being 22), but something much funnier. What’s funnier than Just Like Heaven? I’ll tell you what is- being sexy for The Cure on Halloween. Makes you feel funnier than listening to Just Like Heaven doesn’t it? That’s because it is. I don’t mean funny like when a Mormon asks you if he can go “south of the boarder” on your first date (that happened to my friend, not me, I swear I would never go out with a Mormon), or funny like when you see a pregnant teenager on the day of her GED graduation smoking cigarettes in the back parking lot, or funny like this- No I mean you feel funny like when you smell fermenting menstrual blood in the gas station bathroom, or funny like being a hot cop on Halloween, or funny like wanting to live in a building with a fountain outside. These songs and their mille fois (it’s French!) make me feel funny in a lot of different ways, Par Example (French!): funny like a Hitler mustache, funny like a “that’s what she said” joke and funny like when you wake up and realized that you shaved your cat and left only his paws furry.

*More Rapey than the Bob Marley version and infinitely less cool.
** Again, more Rapey than the others
*** More Rapey isn’t necessarily what we are looking for to put you in this list- this song if less Rapey than let’s say I Would Die 4 U or other songs with number letter short cuts. But you don’t have to take my word for it!
**** It’s not just because they are both gay, get off my case!
***** I believe this actually refers directly to anal rape, but again, not the only thing that should make you feel funny about this.
