First pressings of ''Make Believe'' contained an incorrect mix of "We Are All on Drugs", featuring different lyrics in the pre-solo bridge section. Upon discovering the mistake, the band had the correct version place on later pressings of the album, and released it as a single. There is also a censored version called "We Are All In Love", which is mainly used for airings of the video on stations that object to the drug reference, but has also turned up on a promo cd in very limited numbers. | First pressings of ''Make Believe'' contained an incorrect mix of "We Are All on Drugs", featuring different lyrics in the pre-solo bridge section.

When the song was serviced to radio, the band was not free to immediately film a video. In order to get a quick video made to promote the song, a hastenly-edited video was constructed using footage from a 1985 video for the song [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhTdKigJhZc "Fear No Evil"] by heavy metal band [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grim_Reaper_(band) Grim Reaper]. Eventually, a proper video - employing heavy use of green-screen effects - was shot and distributed. | When the song was serviced to radio, the band was not free to immediately film a video.
