Producer Mutt Lange, expressing great liking of it, suggested that it be developed into another song. Īlthough already behind schedule, Lange felt that the album was still missing a strong crossover hit and that this last song had the potential to be one. Within two weeks the song was completed, smoothed out, and included as the twelfth track on Hysteria. Įlliott claims the song was at least partially inspired by the Aerosmith and Run-DMC version of " Walk This Way", which made him realize the potential of the mixing of rap and rock. The song's lyrics were written after Elliott and Lange went to opposite ends of the studio control room and delivered stream-of-consciousness words into a pair of dictaphones while the song's backing track played. In the Hysteria episode of the Classic Albums documentary series, Elliott said he thought he heard the phrase "love is like a bomb" on Lange's tape "and that set the whole tone for the lyric." They then swapped dictaphones and tried to determine what each other's words were. But it's a dubious classification - watching the Kantamanto Market clean-up at days' end gives its lie.Two intros were recorded for the song: the studio version has "Step inside, walk this way, you and me babe, hey hey!" and then cuts immediately to the guitar, while the single version has "love is like a bomb" and a slightly longer progression.īy the spring of 1988, Hysteria had sold 3 million copies, which was not enough to cover the album's $5 million production costs. Only 7 per cent of clothes sold in Australia are classified as recycled.
When these clothes fall out of favour with their owners, the vast majority of them end up in landfill. But on a per capita basis, Australia is the highest consumer of textiles anywhere in the world outside of the US. That also contributes to this overproduction."Īustralia, with clothing retail sales in 2020 of about $22 billion, may not have the economic scale of the US or the UK, where combined the industry turned over $468 billion in the same period. "We should find it in our size and the colour that we want.
"We have decided that convenience is a human right and we think that when we go shopping we should always be able to find exactly what we want," she said.
"A lot of brands overproduce by up to 40 per cent."Įqually, she believes consumers are "somewhat complicit". "Waste is a part of the business model of fashion," she said.
