This article is about the EP. For other uses, see Smells Like Children (song) and Smells Like Children (tour).

Template:EP

Smells Like Children is the first EP by Marilyn Manson, released on October 25, 1995 by Interscope Records. It was initially meant to be strictly a remix EP, but various contributions by engineer and Skinny Puppy producer Dave Ogilvie, Nine Inch Nails keyboardist Charlie Clouser and new material by the band resulted in an eclectic combination of material.

Background information

A number of covers are included on the album, most famous of which is the band's cover of Eurythmics' "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)", which helped to skyrocket the band into the mainstream. The other covers on the album are the Patti Smith song "Rock 'n' Roll Nigger" and Screamin' Jay Hawkins' "I Put a Spell on You". Manson's recording of "I Put a Spell on You" was also featured on the soundtrack for the David Lynch film Lost Highway.

Early promotional copies of Smells Like Children featured unauthorized samples from Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, as well as other sound bites considered too extreme; the album was re-edited for proper release. The removed songs were the original opening track, "Abuse, Part 1 (There Is Pain Involved)", featuring Manson and Danzig tour bus driver Tony Wiggins speaking to a masochistic girl, attempting to calm her down when things get really out of hand, and "Abuse, Part 2 (Confessions)", featuring an interview with a teenage girl who confesses to molesting her 6-year-old cousin.

"May Cause Discoloration of the Urine or Feces" was also featured as part of the sound scape "Revelation #9", released on the single for "Get Your Gunn".

The untitled hidden track contains two bonus tracks: a slower, more ominous version of "Shitty Chicken Gang Bang" and, around six minutes in, a disturbing audio experiment known as "Poop Games".

Trivia

• The cover art and title were inspired by the Child Catcher, the antagonist of the 1968 film Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. The Child Catcher wears an all-black suit, with a top hat, and has moderately long black hair. His most recognizable feature is his elongated nose, with which he is able to smell children and find where they are hiding.
