"Killing an Arab" has been covered by Frodus on the 1995 Radiopaque compilation Give Me The Cure, and again in 2004 by DJ Riton.
•
Composer Robert Smith has said that the song "was a short poetic attempt at condensing my impression of the key moments in L'Étranger (The Stranger) by Albert Camus".
•
The "killing another" lyric was also used during the 2007-2008 4Tour.
•
In the US, The Cure's first compilation of singles, Standing on a Beach (1986), was packaged with a sticker advising against racist usage of the song.
•
This song lends two of its lines to the titles of one of The Cure's compilation albums, Standing on a Beach, and to its CD/video counterpart Staring at the Sea.
The album's titles are both taken from the opening lyrics of The Cure's debut single "Killing an Arab".
