W.A.S.P. "Inside the Electric Circus"

Inside the Electric Circus is the third studio album by heavy metal band W.A.S.P., released in October 1986 through Capitol Records; a remastered edition featuring two bonus tracks was reissued in 1997 through Snapper Music. The album is the band's first to feature singer and bandleader Blackie Lawless playing guitar, having switched from bass to rhythm guitar. It reached No. 17 and 35 on the Norwegian and Swedish albums chart respectively, and No. 60 on the U.S. Billboard 200; it remained on the latter for 19 weeks.

Although, "I Don't Need No Doctor" was originally performed by Ray Charles, the W.A.S.P. cover is much closer to Humble Pie's 1971 version of the song. A video was made for this song.
