Lets see how big a CURE fan you are. What CURE song was in the background in the Sprint Mobile tv commercial?

Thank you for the link!  :)

Too easy (I'll leave it to others to post the solution here)...

It's not REALLY a The Cure song, they used a similar guitar riff as in Lullaby - but is not Lullaby.

According to adfibs it is a cure song.

No, it's not. It's inspired in Lullaby but -if you listen carefully- you wil notice is not Lullaby

For whatever reason (ignorance, lazyness, "nobody's-gonna-give-a-f**k-anyway" attitude), they're wrong.

I can imagine them putting this together...

- Hey, we got this cool ad here, now we just have to get some music for it.
- Look at that Gordon guy... who was that goth band with that, like, really creepy song about Spiderman? The Curse, right?
- The Cure, I think. Unfortunately, they won't clear any song for us.
- Well, let's get someone to make a sound-alike. You know, sloppy beat, some chorused guitar...
- Goth guy, goth music. Nailed it.
and we close our eyes to sleep
to dream a boy and girl
who dream the world is nothing but a dream

It is very similar, as a Cure fan you'll hear it very soon when you watch that ad.

That's probably how it went. Well said!  :lol:

That one chord in the background sounds a bit (a lot) like Lullaby but the rest is completely different.

Let's be correct, it was Matti who suggested how the story went:
