"Disposable Teens" is a song by American industrial metal band Marilyn Manson. It is the first single from their fourth full-length studio album, ''Holy Wood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death)'', released in 2000. It was released in two standalone physical formats. The first, titled "Disposable Teens Pt. 1," was released on November 6, 2000 in the UK. It features Manson's cover of John Lennon's "Working Class Hero".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Disposable Teens 1 (Import ) )〕 The second, titled "Disposable Teens Pt. 2," followed on November 14, 2000 and features a cover of The Doors' "Five to One".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Disposable Teens Pt. 2 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Disposable Teens #2 (Import ) )〕 "Disposable Teens Pt. 2" was also released as a 12" picture disc vinyl LP.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Disposable Teens #2 Vinyl )〕 It is considered a teenage anthem of sorts, echoing what Manson see as teenagers who act violently in retaliation against parental and social authority. The chorus borrows lyrically from The Beatles' song, "Revolution." The song also paraphrases George Orwell's book ''Nineteen Eighty-Four'', "Rebel from the waist down", the original line being "You're only a rebel from the waist down'. Here, it has been given new meaning as a pop culture reference to Elvis Presley's infamous swiveling hips, satirizing the assertion that they, and by extension rock 'n' roll, had caused the "decline of Western Civilization" and given rise to 'disposable teens'. The song is featured in ''Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2'' during the opening credits. Professional wrestler Christopher Daniels has used the song as his theme in Ring of Honor and several independent promotions, as well as an instrumental remix for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling made by TNA's official music composer Dale Oliver. The song is also featured as downloadable content for ''Rock Band'' as part of the "Mayhem Tour Pack" and as a playable track for ''Guitar Hero Live''. ==Single== "Disposable Teens" was composed by John 5 and Twiggy Ramirez.〔 The lyrics were written by the band's frontman Marilyn Manson. During pre-release interviews, Manson described it as a "signature Marilyn Manson song." Its bouncing guitar riff and teutonic staccato has roots in Gary Glitter's song "Rock and Roll, Pt. 2." Its lyrical themes tackled the disenfranchisement of contemporary youth, "particularly those that have been (up ) to feel like accidents", with the revolutionary idealism of their parent's generation.〔 The influence of The Beatles was critical in this song.〔〔〔 The chorus echoed the Liverpool quartet's own disillusionment with the 1960s counterculture movement in the opening lines of their ''White Album'' song "Revolution 1".〔〔 Here the sentiment was re-appropriated as a rallying cry for "disposable teens" against the shortcomings of "this so-called generation of revolutionaries", whom the song indicted: "You said you wanted evolution, the ape was a great big hit. You say want a revolution, man, and I say that you're full of shit."〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Disposable Teens」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
