In March 1995, the band began a two-month tour, this time with Monster Voodoo Machine as support. This would be drummer Sara Lee Lucas’s last tour with the band. Kenneth Wilson, better known by his stage name Ginger Fish , then joined the group before they embarked on a tour with rock band Danzig and metal band Korn . The band then relocated to the new home of Nothing Studios in New Orleans to begin work on remixes and b-sides for Portrait ‘ s third single, ” Dope Hat “, releasing a music video inspired by the boat ride scene from the 1971 movie Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory . The proposed single eventually developed into Smells Like Children , which included the band’s version of the Eurythmics ‘ ” Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) “, their first hit; the song’s music video was placed in heavy rotation on MTV , in stark contrast with the “Dope Hat” video, which the same channel had banished to late-night airplay only a few months prior.
