专辑介绍

&The Dope Show& is a song from Marilyn Manson's 1998 album Mechanical Animals, released in September of that year as the album's lead single. The lyrics were written by Marilyn Manson and the music composed by Twiggy Ramirez.

Barry Walters of The Village Voice commented &The Dope Show is the first Manson single as memorable as its video. Over a skipping Gary Glitter beat, the pied piper of gloom celebrates the Clinton-era narcotics of oral stimulation and headrushing authority. Its sing-along chorus lends the social study a levity the Reznor period denied, and the bite-sized lyrics--bon mots like &Cops and queers make good-looking models&—help the medicine go down. Despite the guitars pumping the hook in the proven grunge tradition, this bouncy sugar pill is radical for Manson not only because it's pop, but also because it's something few '90s rockers have attempted: it's sexy.& He went on to conclude, &This born sophist once merely dared to deconstruct sexiness. By now embodying it, Satan's ambitious little helper has relocated Manson theory out of its logical head and into a freshly liberated and femme-y cyborg that sets it in motion. Its slinky gloss going against the rough Reznor grain, Manson's alien mannequeen declares independence from the industrial factory.&

&The Dope Show& was nominated for the Best Hard Rock Performance category at the 41st Grammy Awards (1999). Spin Magazine ranked &The Dope Show& the 3rd Best Single in their 1998 End Of Year List. The music video for the single would later win the Best Cinematography in a Video category at the 1999 MTV Video Music Awards. (wiki)
