The lyrics to "[[Supernature (song)|Supernature]]", written by [[Lene Lovich]],<ref name="rc"/> have a [[Science fiction|sci-fi]] theme: it concerns the rebellion of mutant creatures—created by scientists to end [[starvation]] among mankind—against the humans. The album also featured "Sweet Drums", a three-minute-and-ten-second drum breakdown. The original French album cover was again different, having a gatefold opening with nudes in the centre. The music itself was the same. "Supernature" was used as the [[theme music]] to [[Thames TV]]'s ''[[The Kenny Everett Video Show]]'' (as well as being danced to by [[Hot Gossip]] in the same show), which was shown across the United Kingdom.<ref>[https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0148807/ Marc Cerrone profile], Internet Movie Database; retrieved 20 May 2013]</ref> More recently, on July 26, 2024, the [[2024 Summer Olympics opening ceremony]] used the theme '''Supernature''' as one of the main songs played with an outstanding spectacle of lights coming from the [[Eiffel Tower]] and performed by a [[sign language]] artist.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Landrum Jr. |first1=Jonathan |title=rom the opening ceremony to DiscOlympics, Cerrone still reigns nearly 50 years on |url=https://apnews.com/article/olympics-2024-cerrone-discolympics-ebe8803aaaa23e9ed2ceb32941f17481 |website=Associated Press |access-date=17 August 2024 |date=29 July 2024}}</ref>
