    I believe I was in sixth grade when that album came out.

    First of all, it used a whole lot of synthesizers, which were pretty new technology at the time, and I felt like I was living in the future when I heard it.

    As to the album cover, it somehow didn’t register with my that it was a baby smoking.

    Rather, it made me think of teenagers smoking in the high school bathroom.

    Motley Crue’s Smokin in the Boys Room came out a year later, so I don’t think that influenced my mental image.
