Album DescriptionAvailable in:
America's Least Wanted is the full-length debut album by rock band Ugly Kid Joe, released in September 1992 on the Mercury label. The title is a parody of the famous phrase "America's Most Wanted".
The album was a commercial success, charting three singles on the Mainstream Rock Tracks ("Neighbor", "Busy Bee" and "Cat's in the Cradle"). "Cat's in the Cradle" also reached number six on the Billboard Hot 100 and number eleven on the Top 40 Mainstream. As of 1995, the album has been certified double platinum.
Two of the songs had previously been included on the band's 1991 debut EP As Ugly as They Wanna Be though some small changes were made for this album: "Madman" was given a new vocal track while "Everything About You" was given a spoken intro by actress and then Saturday Night Live cast member Julia Sweeney as her questionably gendered character, Pat. Incidentally, this was not the first time the song had been associated with "SNL" - it had previously been included in the SNL-based movie Wayne's World, which was released seven months before.
The difference between CD and LP versions of this album is that the song "Goddamn Devil" appears as its first track on the B-side.
