| Whoever made the call thought to themselves that Meat's biggest ever hit was a duet - although it really wasn't, it just had a featured female vocal at the very end. His second biggest hit (in Europe) was another duet (I'd Lie For You). Both were lead off singles from new albums. That's the level of imagination that the music industry has nowadays, and probably the reason that IACBTMN was done as a duet in the first place. Oh, and I actually prefer 'Smack My Bitch Up'. The vocals are better, the production is better and it makes better sense as a non-duet. > Honestly, whoever made the call, and supported the call, > to go with IACBTMN as the lead single (or a single at all, > for that matter) ought to be fucking fired and forced to > get out of the business, because those people have no > fucking sense for this sort of thing.
