"Fri I'g in Love" is a song by British rock ring the Cure. Released as the second single from their ninth studio album, Wish (1992), in May 1992, the song was a worldwide hitting, reaching number six in the United kingdom and number xviii in the United States, where it also topped the Modern Stone Tracks chart. Information technology also won the accolade for European Viewer'south Choice for Best Music Video at the 1992 MTV Video Music Awards.

Robert Smith, the song'south principal writer, described it in 1992 as both "a throw your easily in the air, let's get happy kind of record" and "a very naïve, happy type of popular song."[6]

Production [edit]

During the writing process, Robert Smith became convinced that he had inadvertently stolen the chord progression from somewhere, and this led him to a country 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 realised that the melody was indeed his.[7] "Information technology's ever been paradoxical that it's pushed down people'south throats that we're a goth band," Smith observed. "Because, to the general public, we're not. To taxi drivers, I'yard the bloke that sings 'Friday I'one thousand in Beloved'. I'chiliad not the bloke who sings 'Milk shake Dog Milkshake' or 'One Hundred Years'."[8]

The song was written to be a slower number than its upbeat concluding rendition. While the track was recorded in D major, the commercially released version sounds a quarter-tone college (halfway between D and D-sharp) due to Smith forgetting to disengage the vari-speed role on the multi-track recorder later on toying with it before the actual recording process took place. When played live, the song is played in its original intended key as opposed to the speed discrepancy heard on the record.[9] The track was produced by David M. Allen and the Cure.

Release [edit]

"Friday I'm in Dearest" was the second single taken from the band's ninth studio album, Wish, and was released in the United Kingdom on 15 May 1992. Unusually, 2 formats of the song were released on a Friday instead of a Monday, so it debuted on the UK Singles Nautical chart at a low number 31 on the chart week commencement 17 May.[i] The following calendar week, after the other two formats went on sale,[one] the single rose to number eight and peaked at number half dozen during its 3rd week on the chart.[ten] In the United states, the vocal reached number xviii on the Billboard Hot 100, giving the ring their final American summit-twoscore hit to date.[11] Information technology was as well the band'south final song (in a string of 4) to top the Billboard Modernistic Stone Tracks chart, matching the success of their previous single, "High", with a four-week stint at number one.[12]

Music video [edit]

The video, directed past Tim Pope, features the band performing the song in front of various backdrops on a soundstage, in homage to French silent filmmaker Georges Méliès: the video features the appearance of characters from his The Eclipse, or the Courting of the Sun and Moon. Throughout the video the ring play with various props and costumes while several extras wander effectually, causing chaos and ultimately trashing the fix. Tim Pope makes a cameo at the beginning, riding a rocking equus caballus and yelling out high-pitched stage directions through a plastic megaphone after inhaling helium from a balloon. The band's Japanese make-upward artist also makes an appearance. The final shot is of bassist Simon Gallup crouching and peering into the camera while wearing a bridal veil and property some champagne.[xiii] The producer of "Friday, I'm in Love", Dave M. Allen, makes an advent in the background, also belongings up props. Another oddity is the band's name on the drum—a scrawled "The Cures" rather than the ring's singular name.
