Hopefully we haven't had this thread already... I really can't remember.
The other night when I was introducing my friend to Cure videos, she asked me what Wrong Number was about. I really didn't have a sufficient answer for her. I just wanted to hear what all you guys have to say about it.

sometimes I think this song is a mess when robert didnt really know what to do next, and sometimes I think its a ball of confusion that works hand in hand with the video... "I had the best laid plans since Southern America"... er?!

My friend took the song in a very... reproductive manner. "Is there room in your life for one more trip to the moon?" And then the weird heads with tails fly toward the egg--I mean moon. And I was just like, "DUDE, I never ever thought about it that way before..."

Reading through the lyrics, I can see how her interpretation kinda works.

I should just change my answering machine message to "Hello, you've reached the Wrong Number", especially since I expect to get many calls from the school when Joey starts kindergarten next month.

I wanted to use the part where the girl and Robert are talking in the middle of the song as my answering machine on my cell phone. Just never got around to it becuase I hardly use the da.mn thing anyways. Wendi - Joey, your son? I thought school started in September? Mind you it's been awhile since I've gone to school in the states.

No kidding.
Whenever I listen to Wrong Number, I just imagine a strange dream. Or if I really look deeper into the song it could be about when plans don't go right in general. "best laid plans" "sorry wrong number", just when sh!t don't turn out right, I guess.

Wow... never though about it that way before. I can really see what you're getting at though--and I think I quite agree.

Why does it have to be that way. Why do the best laid plans go horribly, horrible wrong?

because life would be unbearably dull if everything did go to plan (though it would be nice just ONCE in a while!)
