Lol Tolhurst x Budgie

This is a cover of the 1980 classic from The Cure. In 2023, Mojo ranked the song number one on their list of the 30 greatest Cure songs. (Of course, Lol Tolhurst was the drummer on the original.)

Of the song’s video, Budgie says: “The video has me and Lol as Clockwork Orange Droogs drumming on a Cadillac, while Fred Armisen takes a sledgehammer to a WC.” Armisen adds: “I loved being a part of this. I feel very lucky that I got to work with Budgie and Lol… It gave me a feeling of ‘drummers unite!’”: www.youtube.com
