...About Nothing," all awash in a swirl of percussion and spot-on "galactic surf guitar," mines the same glam vein, but with a new wave twist. Unlike the first track, it's got an actual melody, and the track itself wouldn't sound out of place on a Porno for Pyros CD. Given Weiland's voracious propensity for aping other musical artists, it then comes as no surprise that Porno for Pyros bassist Martyn LeNoble plays bass on most of the tracks, including this...

With a star's neon name: Dirk Diggler...

With a European openness and security about the human body, the Doktor pokes fun in "Porno-Person" at the American tendency toward absolute public condemnation of purveyors of porn. As the song's narrator, the "porno-person" tells of "eating porno-food/driving porno car" and ultimately, in the final incongruous shocker, being "body without soul."
