It was the most television exposure the band had received up to that time, but the band's behavior on the show, including swearing during the broadcast, resulted in a lifetime ban from Saturday Night Live. The band performed "Bastards of Young" and "Kiss Me on the Bus" on Saturday Night Live on January 18, 1986. More than 20 years after the album's release, the song remains popular as a college radio anthem. "Left of the Dial" is a reference to college radio stations, which were usually on the left side of a radio dial. Similar videos were also made for "Hold My Life" (in color), "Left of the Dial" (minus the speaker-bashing), and "Little Mascara" (also in color). At the end of the song, the speaker is kicked in by the person who was listening to the song. The album also contains the song " Bastards of Young," which was given a now-infamous black-and-white video, consisting mostly of a single unbroken shot of a speaker. It appears later on Pleased to Meet Me with one of the original guitar parts changed to a horn part. Stylistically, the album shows Paul Westerberg's diverse influences, including Alex Chilton's Big Star on "Hold My Life," Roy Orbison and Duane Eddy on " Swingin Party" and Nick Lowe on "Kiss Me on the Bus."
