Fallen Angel by Poison
It was released in 1988 in their album Open Up and Say… Ahh
Fun fact: The song is about a young girl who grew up in a small town and goes to Los Angeles to try to make it as an actress. This theme is also a reference to the history of the band itself: Bret Michaels (vocals), Bobby Dall (bass) and Rikki Rockett (drums) all left their native Pennsylvania for Los Angeles in their quest for fame.

Unskinny Bop by Poison
It was released in 1990 in their album Flesh & Blood
Fun fact: The meaning of "Unskinny Bop" has always been shrouded in obscurity. C.C. DeVille later confessed that the phrase "Unskinny Bop" has no particular meaning: he invented it as a temporary measure while writing the song, before vocalist Bret Michaels had begun working on the lyrics.

Something To Believe In by Poison
It was released in 1990 in the album Flesh & Blood
Fun fact: The cover art for the single depicts a tattoo on Bret Michaels' (lead singer) arm of a cross with the words "Something to Believe In". The tattoo artist, according to him, had been drinking and spelled "believe" incorrectly putting the "e" before the "i". It was attempted to be corrected by adding a rose to the cross that covered the misspelling.
