The Curse of Singapore Sling (also known simply as The Curse Of) is the first studio album by the Icelandic neo-psychedelia band Singapore Sling. It was released in August 2002 by record label Hitt.
An 8-track demo version of the opening track, "Overdriver", was made available online on the Iceland Airwaves music festival website in 2001. The MP3 was titled "Overdrive".
The closing track, "Dirty Water", was a cover of the 1966 hit single by garage rock band The Standells.
Edda (Hitt Records), the now-defunct Icelandic label, produced a music video for "Listen". No single was actually released. The black-and-white clip was directed by Arni Thor Jonsson from the Reykjavík studio Sagofilm and was released in Iceland on 22 October 2002. It shows girls from a volleyball league wearing bikinis and dancing.
The album was released in August 2002 on CD by Hitt Records, and was licensed and released in the United States a year later by the independent label Stinky Records.
