Music video by The Cure performing The Lovecats. (C) 1986 PolyGram Video International - Hudba
Smith has said that this song was meant as a joke. He wrote it drunk, promoted it drunk and shot the video drunk.
@@inigoa.c8380 lol
Imagine being that talented writing such a masterpiece while being drunk. Legend, I could never.
@@inigoa.c8380 I know about his problems. I'm straight edge, I already get angry when I only drink a glass. I don't do drugs, my body can't handle it and that's like the only information I have from myself. And no, I'm not real, are you? And no, I don't mean that as an insult. I seriously can't believe my dumbass exists.
My kind of idle.
@@inigoa.c8380 I am a girl lol.
man wrote a whole bop while being drunk, what a legend
You can see it in his eyes he was drunk
you can see the stages of drunkennes that he was in. he was pretty buzzed in the beginning, then in the scenes where he's on the floor he's... different
the polka dot shirt is the first phase
He is beautiful man.
I dunno, some of the best things I've ever done have been while drunk
1:34 that kitten tried to scratch him and you can see him flinch and say "au". honestly the cutest thing ever
YES!!!!!!!
:)
😊
My favorite part of this amazing video! ❤
I love this cause it’s the equivalent of showing your girlfriend a cute picture of cats on your phone and going “aw baby it’s us :D “
Hello, How are you doing? It’s nice seeing you here
LITTERALLY
EXACTLY
Yes but in drugs
Hey Nou
I love that The Cure always look like they had such fun making their videos.
Scott Herbert you seen Caterpillar Girl as well 🤩😂
So u haven't seen the hanging garden video
@@david_post_punk this music video is unconfortable (at least, to me It is)
Especially close to me lol
@@dualtahunter4043 Nice picture
my dad and i used to dance to this song in our kitchen shortly after him and my mum broke up, i may have not have noticed it then but now i look back at those memories of him and i and begin to realise that he was a sad man, but somehow whenever we seemed to be dancing together everything was better
him and i still love this song to this day and i’ll never forget that this is *our* song
So u stayed with mom after this?
That is super sad.. in the UK this is mating call
awwww, great dad
Same here !
@@devishin4312 wow... it doesn't get any ruder than that
This song is so oddly catchy,and i’ve had it on repeat for 2 hours or maybe 4 today
Same
NO ONE could have performed this song better than he does in this video. EVER
😊
Me when im drunk: *unable to walk*
Robert when he's drunk:
I remember when I was like 10 years old I had a crush on this guy
I am 17 still have one
me too 17 and still have =)
Rober Smith by the way
I still do
i still do
i’m so immensely grateful that my mother introduced me to this band at a young age. such a fun song 🫶🏻
Hello, How are you doing? It’s nice seeing you here
Same !!
@@robertsmith2119Hello
Same my older brother loved them. Brings back happy memories 😮❤
The fact this was done entirely drunk shows how good the cure is !
One of the great things of a band like The Cure, is diversity. They can make a 1000 songs that all sound very differently, and yet still you know when it's a Cure song. This song to me is just sheer nostalgia. Best days of my life were in the Eighties. :)
That's why they're one of my favourite bands. They have an unmistakable sound that can adapt to different styles. Also Robert Smith has one of the most iconic voices of all time.
Exactly ! Boys Don’t Cry sound really pop, Just Say Yes bollywood vibes, Lovecats idrk how to describe it, cat pawns I guess. Love it, most of their songs sounds different which is pretty rare. ❤️
Well that's sad.
One of the many reasons why they're my favourite band.
Verdade
If Tim Burton had directed The Aristocats.
eresseisilra bruhh there using ded cats
@@dragonflower829 *yummy*
eresseisilra 😂😂
Tim burton likes the cure so it kinda makes sense lol
So accurate ! You could write it on your CV ! And why not send it to Sotheby's ? Artcurial ?
0% dogs
0% rats
0% pigs
100% cats... lovecats !!
You sound like a Pink Floyd album.
Hahaha hahahaha
I lovecats!!
Lol Tolhurst as Sylvester.
There were some hated little meeses though.
37 years and still sounds great. 🙂
Me: I am straight
Robert Smith holding a kitten: No
me: I am lesbian
Robert Smith holding a kitten: no
@@beefromashroom Typical lesbian.
@@sharp14x what’s that supposed to mean 😂
@@sharp14x ?
@@user-gk9ut9qc1o i think he or she is trying to say that lesbians say theyre lesbian but actually like men, which is BS. we can think men are cute but not date them, you know
Ok but Robert Smith in this video is the cutest thing to have ever happened to us as a species.
TheMrJay8 Oh god I know
Is that johnny greenwood?
Iovecats
Leen Hennekam Yep
Cute
He’s so beautiful
The first song that introduced me to The Cure. My stepmom played it for me when I was 7 and kept asking her to put it on repeat. I could perfectly visualize a colorful pop-up storybook style of two tigers falling in love. I plan on using the instrumental as my graduation walk song!
My mum and step dad usually play with song in my car when we’re driving and this has always been my favourite, it’s just so obscure but so amazing at the same time
Did you graduate, if so congrats 🎆🎉🎆
@walkswithdeadhair56 YES I DID!! And I gave an improvised speech that folks cry 🙏 my proudest moment
Robert Smith with a Kitten. I've never felt so gay before
@@inigoa.c8380 I mean about me.
Not about him
I've never felt so straight before and I'm bi lol
Verständlich ,Robert ist auch eine Art Liebesgott. Da fallen Mann wie Frau rein in diese Energie, die wirklich Mystisch ist und aus den tiefen der Wälder kommt 💘
Sein Lied Forest ist kein Zufall 😊
@@inigoa.c8380 but he literally is
Robert Smith is so wonderfully, wonderfully, wonderfully, wonderfully pretty
this is my favorite comment ever lmao
*was
@@matiimo6239 what do you mean, was? He ain't dead mate
Apart from his boatrace...
naurata ei yhtään haha
I love the fact that he's playing with the cats this whole time filming 😻
The Cure isn't a band it's a feeling! you can tell their sound still influences so many modern indie artists, my friend is one of them, The Cure were the sound track to our high school days, every song is a timeless classic to us, while I'm here I wanna throw my friend some love for all the good times, he's a music producer now and makes great indie tunes on his laptop, try searching Lonely Gimmick - Roll Me Over, you may be in for a surprise
When i get really depressed i come to this video because it honestly makes me the happiest person, Robert is just so adorable! The Cure is literally the cure for me
He said he was drunk out of his mind while filming this.
Well, you can kinda tell... I mean, this is clearly not how Robert Smith was publicly behaving, so it's kinda apparent
Known fact most tunes are created by this way.
Like most of his videos/concerts. He's extremely shy.
I thought he was in that state permanently 😃👍
@@obody-sl9np a lot of people behave differently in music videos, that’s what acting is.
well deserved entry into hall of fame this group rocked the 80's
I made up a whole dance routine to this at 8 years old and my mom filmed it and put it on a dvd one of my funniest childhood memories 😂
Put it up on the net for us to see…
Love hearing this
I don't care if RS did this song as a drunk joke... it's phenomenal and I love it.
We move like cagey tigers
We couldn't get closer than this
The way we walk
The way we talk
The way we stalk
The way we kiss
We slip through the streets
While everyone sleeps
Getting bigger and sleeker
And wider and brighter
We bite and scratch and scream all night
Let's go and throw
All the songs we know
Into the sea
You and me
All these years and no one heard
I'll show you in spring
It's a treacherous thing
We missed you hissed the lovecats
We missed you hissed the lovecats
We're so wonderfully wonderfully wonderfully
Wonderfully pretty!
Oh you know that I'd do anything for you
We should have each other to tea huh?
We should have each other with cream
Then curl up by the fire
And sleep for awhile
It's the grooviest thing
It's the perfect dream
Into the sea
You and me
All these years and no one heard
I'll show you in spring
It's a treacherous thing
We missed you hissed the lovecats
We missed you hissed the lovecats
We missed you hissed the lovecats
We missed you hissed the lovecats
We're so wonderfully wonderfully wonderfully
Wonderfully pretty!
You know that I'd do anything for you
We should have each other to dinner
We should have each other with cream
Then curl up in the fire
Get up for awhile
It's the grooviest thing
It's the perfect dream
Hand in hand
Is the only way to land
And always the right way round
Not broken in pieces
Like hated little meeces
How could we miss
Someone as dumb as this?
I love you, let's go
Oh, solid gone
How could we miss
This hasn’t gotten enough appreciation so thank uuu👏👏🖤🖤
Thank u so much!! ♥
Constanza Rios I was born for this
@@littlefinger307 Oh yess
Or, you know, subtitles
Omg. Robert could not be any more adorable 😸
This video is the cutest thing ever, I fell in love with robert watching this when I was 16 (1989) 😅
A man who makes a song about cats, drunk and the video has kittens?? He was a keeper in my book. Ah... the 80's... such a fun happy time 🖤💜🖤
Seriously this band changed my life in my teenage years and I still love their music.
It's too good to be forgotten.
This was one of my mum's favourite songs, she used to play it loads when i was little. Stumbling across it on accident two years after her death has made me cry throughout the whole song. This song will always mean so much to me.
💜
God bless you
my two favorite things ever: Robert Smith and a kitten
Robert Was a Total Babe Back In The Day.
His Concerts Were Always Fire!🔥
I Think He Favor The Actor
John Cusack From
“Say Anything”
Haven't heard this since Art school in the 80s. Wow, they're just so damned good. My jaded nearly 60 y-o ears are blown away.
If I’m ever sad, depressed or in a bad mood, I just watch this video because it brings me so much joy.
Hello, How are you doing? It’s nice seeing you here
Sorry Marina and Chrissy and Sherin. Gideon was my boyfriend in France. His brother was Jorge.
Me too it always brightens my day when I'm bummed out
@Robert Smith if this is the real Robert Smith thank you for this and all your music but this song in particular helps me deal with how far away I am from my lady love 😞
me fr
Robert playing with kittens is legit the cutest thing ever
My cat used to always listen to this song. RIP Poe
Day 1 of listening to The Cure everyday (thank you Dad for introducing me to them!)
go ❣
go ❣
go ❣ 👍
And Robert Smith is single-handedly taking on Ticketmaster now... and WINNING.
How was it
@@user-pt2pj8zq6l 10/10
There was a kid who wanted the whole class to sing this song for the end of the year song in primary school, no joke
rwmovies good choice haha
good man himself
So.. did you sing it or not?
Good parents.
And u just came here to check this shit out?
Honestly robert is very cute in this video
Like a cuddly cat!
true♥
what happened to him? drugs?
? lol...age?
I was in love with him back then... :D
this is my favorite from the cure.
his face, his voice, his smile, his soul, the perfect man ♥
If Disney decides to make a Live Action of The Aristocats this song must be in it
This song will now forever remind me of Neil. A man I had the pleasure of knowing, but unfortunately not well enough to call him my friend. He died very sadly a couple of weeks ago aged only 42. A nice man who always had an ear for anyone, and helped disabled children in his spare time. This song was played in the church as he was carried in, it brought a tear to my eye, and a smile to my mouth. Thanks Neil. R.I.P.
He is my hero. I want this to be played on my funeral too
wr0ngun I’m late but RIP Neil ❤️
lauren hunter I’m even more late, but Neil sounds a very special man. May he enjoy an eternity of amazing tunes and witty lyrics 😍😘 xxx
F
rip neil, he sounds like a legend o7
I lovee the way robert looks in this video he's so prettyy
They should play this on the tour!!! Was at the Dallas show and they were amazing!! Robert's Smith's voice is still amazing and live was superbly fantastic!!!!!!!!
We were hoping it would be played at Shoreline show but they didn’t
Same. For some reason I feel this might me a difficult song to play live.
Can't believe how adorable Rob looks in this video 😭
1:18 the cutest moment in the history of music.
Ikr he's so cute
Is it him or the cat or both of them
@@kgkeir8049 Definitely both. It's a ridiculously adorable combination.
@@Missjunebugfreak yeah
Absolutely agree
Two of my favorite things in the world: Robert Smith and cats 😍 ah, my heart!
Robert Smith and cats will bring world peace.
смит здесь такой молодой и весёлый... это умиляет и одновременно заставляет грустить, я боюсь стареть(((
I think it's impossible for anyone to hate this song...
I think you are right :)
Tilda Adade totally agree
+Tilda Adade I second that - cos the likes of me loves The CURE & the likes of me loves CATS and I am sick to death of the arrogant pompous prat's who for some twisted reason, think it's just another notch on their belt to pay good money to go to Africa with the sole intention of cornering then torcthering & murdering The KING of The CATS! SCREAM!
+Lorraine Ward the song is about sex, not cats lol
+deadbutdreaming Fallen Angels? never heard that one before...
there are claims that it was inspired by a book , but in all the years since it was written Smith has never claimed that to have any truth... What makes you think it has anything to do with angles?
You know that noise throughout the song? ...the one that sounds like the sounds cats make when they are having sex? ...is that connected to angels too? :D
Noone is talking about how funky that double bass is doe...
Even when Drunk, Robert Smith still manages to deliver a Banger.
he looks so adorable aww
Anyone listening in 2019?
The cure honestly never gets old!
cant argue with that
.... How GREAT New Wave was.
never stopped :p
Listening in 2019? ....I just came back from yesterday's concert ... Amazing guys never getting old :)
Never ever forever haha
I was listening to this and my cat sat down beside me. I just love my cat
They know when youre talking about them.
Oh boy we loved this song. Loved it so much. The 80s was great in music in general, but this group and this song was just incredible. We listened to it, danced to it and enjoyed it with friends. We saw them in concert, but unfortunately we had nose bleed seats, so we just heard the music and met some amazing people, which was popular, go to the new wave club or a concert and just meet some amazing people. Still nostalgic when I hear it now, just turned 57 years young and enjoy this music just as much.
RIP Andy Anderson (the drummer who died today)
RIP Andy
Rest in peace 💕
I didnt know that thank u 4 sharing may hes soul rip
R.I.P
Is dont died in my mind and this miusic its good for Ever
Good Bye Brò
This is my first time listening to this band and i must say it
*OH NO,HE'S HOT*
I can't escape from JFK- help
@@uncanevolante3884 he is everywhere
Thats true nsocndx
@Cameron Cash Hopkins everyone ages lol, same thing’ll happen to you if it hasn’t already
Who ?
So handsome, so young......
This song made me start listening to The Cure. I loved cats when I was a kid, still do❤️🐱🐱
same shit for me
Robert Smith - beautiful,theatrical,cute as always!
Morrissey.
@@carlosdaniel058 is not as talented as RS
@@punkpoetry Yes? I think the guitar is big for little Robby
Can we talk about how cute Robert looks in this?
He always is
i believe that it's the best song ever
Damn all comments from these adults talking about how they grew up listening to the cure and then there’s me (a fourteen year old) who stumbled across just like heaven last year and now has an obsession with this band. :)
I love the way he is comfortably crazy around the camera - that has to be the way he is! Can't do several takes to get that kind of behaviour!
He's drunk 😉
1:22 Seeing Robert Smith with that kitten is a blessing.
This was the first Cure song I heard, think I was 13 or so. Loved it and have loved Cure ever since. What strikes me now is how well executed the song was, the arrangement, the use of so many musicians (cellist, trumpets, violins) and not just the usual guitar keyboard and drums. I mean the song was basically a lark yet there's an underlying level of quality that the band couldn't bring itself to fall below. Today this seems astonishing.
hey man, things'll get better
at least 4 ppl liked it
The 80s wave🐈🐈⬛
Loving the stuffed cats.
Robert is the main cat in this video!
perfect people that create perfect songs dont exis-
oh wait
THIS
The beautiful young Rob Smith is a sweet cool cat ! The song a little bit jazzy, sense of humor. Was recording in Paris (France). We still love you The CURE. I ❤ you Robert Smith ❤🎉
I have been depressed for too long. 😢 My poor broken young heart 💔 then my life changed with this song 🪄 Thanks Robert Smith,💐💐💐 This is really The Cure 💫💫💫💖💖💖
Im 15 and the cure is honestly my favourite band i wish music was still like this
im 11 but same also this song was my childhood
Lots of bands have been influenced by the cure. I recommend new flesh by the current joys
Try Tamino, Leprous, or Steven Wilson's music. Pretty much all the best music these days isn't in the Charts, or on TV. 😉
Dont give them ammunition. just go out and seek the kinda music you like. Music is too far spread nowadays to say "i wish music was still like this"
You wait until you discover Linkin park..Chester Bennington...The band are finished with our Chester...Trust me you want to see Real emotion, Heartbreak, Watch and Listen to the story of the God of music...Even though he’s Passed, it is pure and Real , When Chester bangs out a raw Song, You will see the heart breaking honesty of his words...I think you should love it...He’s the best ever...❤🙏🍒
Todas las canciones de the cure son espectaculares, pero esta es la que mas me gusta por q amo a the cure y a los gatunos.
Aguante ser catlover
Best song ever made
I’m so excited for their concert next month, i hope they play this song
OMG - There is no cuter thing than Robert Smith with a kitty! -
I know right!
i thougth so also, until i realized they used stuffed taxidermy cats in their video.
My cats love this video.
Do they prick up their ears at the high guitar sounds? Love the way it changes key suddenly and unexpectedly for that end bit as well.
i love the cure
It's my song, it represents me
*The Cure* you still live till end of time
I like how Tim Burton had the same hairstyle as Robert after he discovered the band.
Toxik-Vermin sounds more like your jealous than actually like the fact.
who wouldn't be. I want that haircut
🤣
1 year's time this song will be 40 years.. Remember it well, I was 18. Ahh where has life passed.
Songwriting prowess on full display. Smith. Pure genius.
RIP Mr. Anderson. What a life, What amazing songs. The Cure were on their own level, a truly original Uk band, easily one of the best ever worldwide.
People say that the cure are a bunch of sad goth people I wounder have they seen this video and heard this song🤔
My English teacher was talking about my goth phase and he went "oh no you found The Cure didn't you" and I was confused because this is the only one of their songs I listen to really
Pornography is the sad goth one
@Patrick Bateman just like you.
@Patrick Bateman yes you are :)
goth is not always sad :)
I love him
im obsessed with this video omg there’s crack in it or something
Oh my, Robert Smith is The Cute!
BEST SONG EVER
Yes x)
Robert smith hanging out with cats looks like a really fun music video to film.
It's punk and jazz in the mix, brilliant x
that double bass
As a violinist, just looking at it makes me tired ... 😄
I love it so much I wanna cry
John
love that the cure just took loads of shit into a house someone was trying to sell, dressed up as cats and happily released the video as if there was nothing strange about that
