| − | '''''Smells Like Children''''' is a 1995 album by [[Marilyn Manson]]. Although initially intended to be a Remix EP, 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. The album was produced by [[Trent Reznor]] and Marilyn Manson.

| − | 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 into the release proper. The removed songs were the original opening track, "Abuse part 1", featuring Manson and Danzig tour driver [[Tony Wiggins]] speaking to a masochistic girl, attempting to calm her down when things get really out of hand, and "Abuse part 2", featuring an interview with a teenage girl who confesses to molesting her 6-year-old cousin.

| − | The "One Legged" referred to in "Dancing with the One Legged", was a Huggy Bear doll (the pimp from Starsky and Hutch) that the band used as a container for drugs; it had one leg.
