Both 'Love is Pain' and 'Snakeskin Voodoo Man' were used in the TV movie 'Casualties of Love: The "Long Island" Lolita Story"' which was based around Joey Buttafuoco's affair with Amy Fisher. Buttafuoco also starred in the video for 'Snakeskin Voodoo Man' and was claiming to be the band's manager around this time.
