"mOBSCENE" is the inaugural single taken from the 2003 album The Golden Age of Grotesque by Marilyn Manson. Lines in the song chanted by female vocalists, "Be obscene, be, be obscene..." are remarkably similar to "Be Aggressive", a 1992 song by Faith No More that features the chorus "Be aggressive, B-E aggressive," also chanted by cheerleaders.

[edit] Notes
- "Paranoiac" is a non-album track, but actually a remix of the song "Para-noir" from The Golden Age of Grotesque.
- "Tainted Love - Re-Tainted Interpretation" is in fact an acoustic rendition of Gloria Jones' hit.
- The video features Dita Von Teese who Manson was dating at the time (and would subsequently marry, and then divorce).
- The cover art is a photograph by Gottfried Helnwein and parts of the video were inspired by Helnwein's stage, costumes and make-up of the theater-production "Macbeth"- in Heidelberg, 1988 and Berlin, 1995[1].
