From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Looks or the Lifestyle? is the fourth album by UK based Grebo band, Pop Will Eat Itself. This album is considered to the blueprints to the later album Dos Dedos Mis Amigos, as it features a heavier and darker sound on some of the tracks. This album features the debut of Fuzz Townshend on drums and possibly the best known Pop Will Eat Itself song, Bulletproof!.
[edit] Tracklisting:
- England's Finest
- Eat Me Drink Me Love Me Kill Me
- Mother

- I've Always Been A Coward, Baby
- Token Drug Song
- Karmadrome
- Urban Futuristic

[edit] Notes:
- The songs Token Drug Song, Karmadrome, Harry Dean Stanton and I've Always Been A Coward Baby features samples from the original English dubbed 1989 anime Akira (film), whereas Get The Girl, Kill The Baddies samples the Jane's Addiction's Mountain song.
- The lyrics to Get The Girl, Kill The Baddies quote almost verbatim from the film Total Recall where Arnold Schwarzenegger's character Doug Quaid is told he will "get the girl, kill the bad guys and save the entire planet". Doug Quaid is also namechecked explicitly in Token Drug Song.
- Pretty Pretty takes its lyrics from Dennis Hopper's character Frank Booth in the film Blue Velvet, along with a nod to the lyrics of the theme tune to the popular Australian soap opera Neighbours.
- The song Harry Dean Stanton was originally supposed to have dialogue spoken by Harry himself, but this was later removed due to copyright reasons.
