Poison hung the name of their 1986 debut on "Look What the Cat Dragged In", and the title track plays like the band stamping its name on the door. All four members share the writing credit, and the same four do the playing: Bret Michaels out front, C.C. DeVille on guitar, Bobby Dall on bass and Rikki Rockett on drums.

Ric Browde produced, with Jim Faraci co-producing and engineering and Michael Wagener handling the mix, and Enigma and Capitol put the record out. It wasn't one of the album's singles; that job went to "Talk Dirty to Me", "I Want Action" and "I Won't Forget You". But as the song the album was named for, it sets the tone for the glam metal that follows.
