Mad, Bad, and Dangerous to Know (Dead or Alive album)


Mad, Bad, and Dangerous to Know is the third studio album by British pop band Dead or Alive, released on 21 November 1986 on Epic Records. Continuing their association with the Stock Aitken Waterman production team, Dead or Alive scored several hit singles from this album, including "Brand New Lover", "Something in My House", "Hooked on Love" and "I'll Save You All My Kisses".
The video for "Something in My House" was an homage in part to Jean Cocteau's film La Belle et La Bete. In addition to an image of singer Pete Burns, the cover features one of the game walls at the Chateau de Raray, where some of the scenes for La Belle et La Bete were filmed. The cover photographer is Bob Carlos Clarke.
The phrase "Mad, Bad, and Dangerous to Know" itself comes from a statement by Lady Caroline Lamb describing controversial English literary figure Lord Byron.
