- The correct title of this article is mOBSCENE. The initial letter is shown capitalized due to technical restrictions.
"mOBSCENE" is the first single of the fifth album The Golden Age of Grotesque. 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.
