Girls, Girls, Girls is the fourth studio
album, released on May 15, 1987 by
glam metal band
Mötley Crüe. The record features a more
blues-influenced sound than previous albums
[citation needed] and contains the hits "Wild Side" and "Girls, Girls, Girls". The record also reflects the band's hard-living lifestyle, and pays homage to their love of riding fast, large
motorcycles, drinking
whisky, and spending long nights at
strip clubs. There are darker sides to the album as well, notably
Nikki Sixx's song "Dancing on Glass", about his addiction to
heroin[citation needed], and "Wild Side", which tells of destructive lifestyles and the pitfalls of decadence.
[citation needed] The album peaked at No. 2 on the
Billboard charts.
[1] On the week it might have reached No. 1,
Whitney Houston's second album,
Whitney, debuted at the top of the charts.
[2] Eventually, the group's 1989's offering
Dr. Feelgood would go on to claim the top
Billboard spot.
[1] Members of the band have stated that if they hadn't managed to write two successful songs that this album would have been the end of their careers.
[citation needed] This is because they were all fighting addictions to drugs and alcohol. Controversy surrounded
Girls, Girls, Girls' third
single, "You're All I Need," which, although a
ballad, featured lyrics that detail a lover's grisly
murder.
[citation needed]All lyrics written by Nikki Sixx except "Jailhouse Rock" by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller.&_160;
