Interesting facts and trivia about We Care a Lot - Live in Munich 9th November 1992; B-Side. By Songfacts®.

Through black humor, this song found Faith No More singing of the pomposity of the Live Aid generation. "We were very sarcastic," keyboardist Roddy Bottum recalled to Mojo in 2015, "and that's where 'We Care a Lot' came from: it drew on the stuff we loved - Soulsonic Force, Kraftwerk and the first Run-D.M.C. album - while poking fun at modern culture and the media stuff we thought was stupid."

The lead vocals are by Chuck Mosley, who was FNM's lead singer until 1988. Mosley, who wrote the lyrics along with Roddy Bottum, considers it the first rap-rock song. In a Songfacts interview with Mosley, he explained that while the Red Hot Chili Peppers rapped over funk and the Beastie Boys rapped over beats, this track was the first instance of rap over rock.

The song was released the same year that Rock Hudson became the first high profile victim of AIDS. The actor's death is referenced in the lyric, "We care a lot about disease, baby, Rock Hudson, rock."
