Pop Will Eat Itself - Touched By the Hand of Cicciolina (Video)
In this classic music video from 1990, Pop Will Eat Itself delivers a unique blend of alternative rock and electronic music. "Touched By the Hand of Cicciolina" showcases the band's signature style, characterized by catchy riffs and playful lyrics, as they address themes related to celebrity culture in a cheeky manner.
