"Friday I'm in Love" is the second single taken from the album Wish (1992) from The Cure. It is among the band's most well-known songs.

[edit] History

"Friday I'm in Love" was nominated for a Grammy Award and won the best Music Video from MTV. The song, which originally was written to be a slower number than its upbeat final rendition, is also musically remarkable because while it was recorded in D major, the tape speed in the mastering process was slightly askew, resulting in the commercially released version sounding halfway between D major and E-flat major, a semitone higher.
