Isn't this on the soundtrack to a Muppet movie?

Muppet with shocked out hair like Robert Smith of The Cure

Robert, is that you?

Great version of an amazing song.  Way more playful and perky than the original.

Actually, he was one of the "fathers" of Goth - and The Cure's music was/is considered part of the Goth canon. Emo evolved out of Goth, so you might more appropriately say he was Emo's ancestor, distantly related - a proto-Emo, perhaps?

I think the plethora of remixes has made me hate the Cure sooner than I otherwise might have.

Not a great song to begin with, so the extended remix just dilutes it further.

For a moment I thought this was a a tune from a recent iPhone or iPod commercial then I realized it was The Cure. 
Saw them in '08 down in Tampa...fantastic 3 hour long show...{#Dancingbanana}

Here, here. It needs to break into a chorus. The music puts an image in my head of watching a worm or snail crawl.

This is my new favorite Cure song first because it's good, but it edges ahead of Pictures of You because it's so different and cheery. 9 maybe 10 by the time I finish the song.
