The lyrics were written by Marilyn Manson and the music composed by Twiggy Ramirez. Song information"The Dope Show" came at a point in the history of Marilyn Manson which saw the band shedding the dark, nihilistic trappings that had characterized the previous album, Antichrist Superstar. Jeordie White (Twiggy Ramirez) has stated on the Q/A section of his website that the song came from "Ripping off Iggy Pop's song Nightclubbing" from his album The Idiot. He also called it "A mixture of Oasis and T. Rex". The song's verse and chorus structures, delivered in drastically different styles, give the song a "hybrid" feel: electronic sounds are juxtaposed with classic rock-derived guitar sounds for a tone that is both classic and futuristic. The verse is carried by a deep, rolling B-to-D walking bassline provided by Twiggy Ramirez and accented by repetitive, synthesized hi-hat. The chorus, on the other hand, features a 4/4 stomp that drummer Ginger Fish described as "a full bump and grind. . . stripper beat",[3] power chords also played by Ramirez, who also played the simple, but effective lead guitar parts in the final chorus. The song was written and recorded in 12/8 time, using a swing beat in the verses. In keeping with the album's themes of narcissism and consumerism, the lyrics are an admonition against buying into idolisation and fame, and helping to perpetuate life in the public eye, including especially mass culture and show business. Further references are made to the obvious attractions and glamour of the world of fame, obsession, and drugs — and to the vacuity and absurdity of such a world. Echoing Andy Warhol's prediction that everyone "will be world-famous for fifteen minutes," Manson reproves society for partaking of this glittery, sinister utopia, declaring that "we're all stars now, in the dope show". "The Dope Show" was nominated for a 1999 Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance. An excerpt from the song was included in "Weird Al" Yankovic's "Polka Power" medley in 1999. Music videoThe video's imagery employs several direct homages to The Holy Mountain, most specifically a sequence involving the destruction of plaster casts of the main character's body in a crucifixion pose. In addition, sculptural pieces by German artist Rebecca Horn are re-created such as "Overflowing Blood Machine" in which Manson is bound by long, red, blood-flowing tubes. In the limo sequence, "Cornucopia" a construction which seems to join the mouth and breasts with a self-nursing effect. The video won a MTV Video Music Award for "Best Cinematography", as well as the "Maximum Vision" award. It was filmed on standard cinema-grade Kodak 35 mm film stock; the contrast, saturation, and color tinting were all altered dramatically to obtain its vintage look. The video was filmed over two weeks — extreme in comparison to the industry standard of two days. Interscope Records funded the video, while HSI Productions produced and filmed it. Manson co-directed.{{citation needed|date=August 2013}} The "Hollywood Hills" scene with Manson walking outside was actually filmed in the city of Simi Valley in southern California. The building in the background is the House of the Book building at the Brandeis-Bardin Institute. "The Dope Show"'s performance sequence was filmed in front of the Los Angeles Municipal Traffic Court Building, South Hill Street by architect William Allen.{{citation needed|date=August 2013}} The Brutalist architecture did not permit a reasonable angle or height from which to film; instead, the band was placed on top of the trailer of an 18-wheeler transport truck. Cameras situated on mechanical arms, and at a distance across the street, were used to film the dramatic concert shots. These scenes are interspersed with cuts of underground transgender performer Goddess Bunny (aka Sandie Crisp) dancing in a yellow, sequined dress, similar to that worn by Twiggy Ramirez in the same video. The costumes for the video, including the dresses and Marilyn Manson's red, diamond-patterned boots (which featured a 6-inch sole and heel) were designed jointly by Manson and Terri King.{{citation needed|date=August 2013}} The Goddess Bunny's custom couture sequin gown (worn for the video and the live MTV awards performance), was designed and hand sewn by Kris Hendrickson Testanier of San Francisco.{{citation needed|date=August 2013}} The video reached #16 on MuchMusic's 50 Most Controversial Videos, for Manson's shocking appearance. The video is available on a DVD included with some editions of Lest We Forget, as well as on the VHS compilation God Is in the TV, which also included "uncensored" outtake footage, such as Twiggy Ramirez, Madonna Wayne Gacy and the Goddess Bunny undressing in the back of a limousine. An alternate version of the video just featuring Manson and various close ups was released on the old Marilyn Manson website Marilyn Manson.net prior to the official release. Parts of this first video can be seen in the finished video. Lyrical variationDuring live performances, Manson often changes the lyrics. As seen in The Last Tour on Earth the lyrics go from "Cops and Queers" to "the pigs and fags".[5] Also the line "the drugs, they say are made in California" is changed to "the drugs, they say are made right here in (city name)". However, if the city name does not reach four syllables, the lyrics are changed. For example; during the Rape of the World tour in Austin, TX, the line is: "They say are made in fuckin' Austin". Also, the line "We love your face, we'd really like to sell you" is regularly changed live to "We love your face, I'd really like to cum on it"[6] ReceptionCritical receptionBarry 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."[7] Spin described the song as a "Warholian discourse on [...] celebrity narcissism set to a creeping, pounding synthetic beat." They described the lyrics as simultaneously "pedantic" and "mildly alarming" but complimented "Manson’s campfire-ghost-story vocals and industrial rhythms" as the perfect complement to "druggy reveries and stomping choruses straight out of T. Rex’s Electric Warrior."[8] Accolades"The Dope Show" was nominated for the Best Hard Rock Performance category at the 41st Grammy Awards (1999).[9] Spin ranked "The Dope Show" the 3rd Best Single in their 1998 End Of Year List and 17th in their 2018 retrospective The 88 Best Alternative Rock Songs of 1998.[8][10] The music video for the single would later win the Best Cinematography in a Video category at the 1999 MTV Video Music Awards.[11] Formats and track listings{{col-begin}}{{col-break}}UK CD single 1
