Written by bassist Nikki Sixx, the song is the title track of their album of the same name. The song charted at No. 30 on the U.S. Mainstream Rock chart. The song has been described as a heavy, riff-driven rocker with a dark tone. [1] Like many other heavy metal songs, it stirred controversy for allegations that it encouraged devil worship.
The other members were not very receptive to that idea. Then, while trying to find a suitable name, Mars remembered an incident that occurred when he was playing with a band called White Horse, when one of the other band members called the group "a motley looking crew". He had remembered the phrase and later copied it down as 'Mottley Cru'.
The name Mötley Crüe came about at the suggestion of Mars. In the early days of White Horse, someone had referred to the band as a "motley looking crew" and Motley Crew was a name they had initially considered using. Sixx liked the name and subsequently altered it to Mötley Crüe. [7]
