History

No music video was filmed to promote the single, believed to be because Robert Smith felt the last video for a single release exclusively in the USA, "Fascination Street", was not what the band were aiming for. Because of that "Strange Attraction" remains the only The Cure single (not counting original mix of "Boys Don't Cry") without a music video.
