:"For the album by Warrant, see Dog Eat Dog (Warrant album).""Dog Eat Dog" is an album by Joni Mitchell, released in 1985. It was her second album for Geffen Records. The album was a surprising departure for Mitchell due to its synthetic sound. Lyrically, the album dealt with prominent issues in mid 1980s society, such as televangelists, consumerism and famine in Ethiopia. One of Mitchell's most unusual songs, "Smokin' (Empty, Try Another)" was recorded by sampling the sound of the cigarette machine in the hall of the studio where "Wild Things Run Fast" was recorded.
