♫ There's no earthly way of knowing which direction we are going. There's no knowing where we're going, or which way the wind is blowing. Is it raining? Is it snowing? Is a hurricane a-blowing? ♫
The Spooky Kids era involved a more wild approach in its themes and a less serious, often comedic tone. The band is a sillier Marilyn Manson than the one that evolved over the years with more Alice Cooper and schlock horror dashed beside a little Willy Wonka and other darker children's characters thrown in for good measure. Through most of the era, the band had worn little to no makeup, and the outlandish costumes and performances the band would become known for were only in their early stages. Most themes dabbled with children, innocence, fiction, candy, serial killers, religion, and America. The band had yet to achieve international fame nor significant airplay outside of their local area. This, however, would change with the release of the band's cover of Eurythmics' 1982 hit "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)", as the song and its bizarre video launched the band's career into the mainstream.
