While Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me is loaded with delightful pop tracks, the album also features some of The Cure's most unique and challenging music; in that vein Like Cockatoos is a fan favorite you'll never hear on a radio. The swirling, aquatic keyboards, bird samples, and Smith's stream of consciousness vocal delivery are all held together by Gallup's stalking baseline and ominous percussion work by Boris Williams. The effect is haunting, claustrophobic and ethereal.
