"Among his favorite new songs so far is one called "Another Happy Birthday," which he described as "unlike anything the Cure have done before. It's not a verse-chorus-verse type of song, but more fluid."
Taken from this Interview from 1997. I did not know the title had ever been mentioned before this tour.
The interview has been mentioned in this current article from stereogum:
I think it is just an interesting finding. I remember we were talking a couple of times here about this leaked tracklist of the new album and no one else seemed to have heard this title before. No need to react so irritably.

It might have been that the title hadn't attached itself to this particular composition at the time. I've heard otherwise, that Another Happy Birthday was the preliminary title for 39 at one point. That would fit the description of "fluid not verse/chorus/verse" better too, AHB as performed isn't that unconventional in its structure (IMO)
Just heard the A the Night Like This solo of this video… I just don’t understand...
Reeves solo? It's way different from Robert's version of old. Robert seems to like to let him loose on this one though. I like both the old way and the new.
