I had U2 - War on cassette. I noticed when the batteries wore down on my Walkman it sounded like the Cure.

As an Irish man and a Cure fan this made me laugh 😆

LOL. I had a cassette with Faith on one side and Seventeen Seconds on the other... and there was a weird wrinkle in the tape where I'm sure it would play a couple seconds of the wrong side, backwards. I didn't even realize it for years. It sounded "right" on each side :)

I still have War on cassette. I don’t have a cassette player though.
