Manic Street Preachers siempre se identificó con ideas marxistas e izquierdistas, tomando siempre causas que comúnmente no eran escuchadas, como la canción "Baby Elián" que narra la historia del pequeño Elián González que nuevamente trajo a colación la histórica rivalidad entre Estados Unidos y Cuba .
Han participado de importantes festivales como el Glastonbury y son considerados como una de las bandas europeas más trascendentes de la música, pese a lo poco difundida de su música en América Latina por ejemplo.

Little Baby Nothing (With Traci Lords)
No one likes looking at you
Your lack of ego offends male mentality
They need your innocence
To steal vacant love and to destroy
Your beauty and virginity used like toys
My mind is dead, everybody love's me
Wants a slice of me
Hopelessly passive and compatible
Need to belong, oh the roads are scarey
So hold me in your arms
I wanna be your only possession
Used, used, used by men
Used, used, used by men
All they leave behind is money
Paper made out of broken twisted trees
Your pretty face offends
Because it's something real that I can't touch
Eyes, skin, bone, contour, language as a flower
No god reached me, faded films and loving books
Black and white TV
All the world does not exist for me
And if I'm starving, you can feed me lollipops
Your diet will crush me
My life just an old man's memory
Little baby nothing
Loveless slavery, lips kissing empty
Dress your life in loathing
Breaking your mind with Barbie Doll futility
Little baby nothing
Sexually free, made-up to breakup
Assassinated beauty
Moths broken up, quenched at last
The vermin allowed a thought to pass them by
You are pure, you are snow
We are the useless sluts that they mould
Rock 'n' roll is our epiphany
Culture, alienation, boredom and despair
You are pure, you are snow
We are the useless sluts that they mould
Rock 'n' roll is our epiphany
Culture, alienation, boredom and despair
Si os lo estáis preguntando, efectivamente, la que aparece en el vídeo no es Traci Lords. Por lo visto no estaba disponible en ese momento, así que usaron a esa modelo que fingió cantar su parte.
