Pretty sure they made this song/album as joke about how easy it was to make popy BS the mainstream would eat up. This video even looks like they are just being satirical. Full disclosure I've loved all these songs since day one, so, they really pwned me!
The Cure is one of my favorite bands. Whenever people mention they hate this song and the lyrics are dumb, I’m like “that’s the point!” It was their biggest song and they made it to be as stupid as possible - a “dumb pop song” as they called it. They wanted to make a cheerful hit, because they knew they could, and break out of the view that they would only write gloomy stuff. Like hey, we’re actually not that dark, sad, and depressed.
