Retro music video: “Friday I’m In Love”

While English rock band The Cure may be well-known for their somber, depressing and downright angsty tunes, this one's a little more upbeat. The video is interesting, too - there's lots of dancing, glitter and horribly sketchy outfits (and makeup).

Fresh air, delicious food and plenty of outdoor activities - how's that sound to you? We think it sounds pretty swell, ourselves.

Flash Game: Spanking Monkeys can be fun!
