"Mint Car" is a song by English rock band the Cure, released as the second single from their tenth studio album Wild Mood Swings in June 1996.
It reached the top 20 in Finland and Iceland and peaked at number 31 on the UK Singles Chart.
Robert Smith has stated in an interview that he thought this song was better than the British top-10 hit "Friday I'm in Love".
All of the B-sides, except the remixes, would go on to appear in the 2004 box set Join the Dots.
Chris Gerard of Metro Weekly was unenthusiastic of the song saying it was "utterly inconsequential" and "a pale imitation of far better guitar-based pop songs like "In Between Days" and “Friday I’m in Love.”[4]Anthony DeCurtis of Rolling Stone dismissed it as "shiny, happy, self-consciously clichéd" [5] All tracks were written by Robert Smith, Simon Gallup, Perry Bamonte, Jason Cooper, and Roger O'Donnell.
