Robert Smith, lead singer of the UK goth rocker band The Cure, went viral on Friday night after giving an astonishingly "deadpan" interview to commentators at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

When Mr. Smith was approached by an overzealous interviewer Carrie Keagan, she asked him how thrilled he was to attend the event.
