"We Care a Lot" is a 1987 single by rock band Faith No More. It was released on the albums We Care a Lot and Introduce Yourself. It is one of the band's most famous songs. It is notable as one of the first songs to blend rock, funk, and hip hop music.
The lyrics of this song are about a range of things the band "cares a lot" about, such as the LAPD, the "food that Live Aid bought" and even the Garbage Pail Kids. The original version, released in 1985, mentioned Madonna and Mr. T. This was altered for the rerelease for social relevance in 1987.
From 2005 to 2007, the song has been featured as the theme to the Discovery Channel program Dirty Jobs.
The bass part bears a resemblance to that of "Stay Up Late" from the Talking Heads' 1985 album Little Creatures.
The song continued to be sung by Mike Patton during the band's later tours, occasionally changing the mention of Rock Hudson in the lyrics to Rodney King.
