Mobscene

Marilyn Manson

Description

^{Brian Hugh Warner (born 5 January 1969), better known by his stage name Marilyn Manson, is an American musician and artist known for his outrageous stage persona and image as the lead singer of the eponymous band. His stage name was formed from the names of actress Marilyn Monroe and convicted murderer Charles Manson. In 2004, the band's hit "mOBSCENE" was nominated for a Grammy Award for "Best Metal Performance".
"Mobscene" trademarked as "mOBSCENE" is the inaugural single taken from the 2003 album The Golden Age of Grotesque by Marilyn Manson. Lines in the song chanted by female vocalists, "Be obscene, be, be obscene..." are inspired by the cheerleading chant in Faith No More's "Be Aggressive". Many critics have also compared lines in this song to the TV gameshow in the 2000 film, Requiem for a Dream, starring Jared Leto. The song was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance, but lost out to Metallica's, "St. Anger."}
