"Flaunt It" is the debut album by British band Sigue Sigue Sputnik. The album featured a remix of their hit single "Love Missile F1-11", used in Ferris Bueller's Day Off and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City; as well as "21st Century Boy". "Flaunt It" was unique in that the band auctioned off spots between songs for advertisements. Ultimately, L'Oréal, i-D magazine, and short-lived London pirate television station NeTWork 21 were complemented by fictitious ads for the Sputnik Corporation; a spoken word advertisement (narrated by the Sputnik Corporation voiceover) for EMI closes the album.
Sigue Sigue Sputnik succeeded in their attempt to create the ultimate rock & roll fantasy, one full of violent, futuristic imagery that was cartoonish, yet often if you listened close enough, had, surprisingly, something to say.
