"Lady Picture Show" is a song by American alternative rock band Stone Temple Pilots. It was the third single released from their third album, Tiny Music... Songs from the Vatican Gift Shop. It was also one of three tracks on the album to reach #1 on the Billboard Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart.
Scott Weiland wrote in his autobiography, Not Dead and Not for Sale, that the song "is about the horrific gang rape of a dancer who winds up falling in love but can't let go of the pain."
"Lady Picture Show" also appears on Thank You, a greatest hits compilation released in 2003. It was also used in the unaired pilot episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer during the scene where Buffy is at The Bronze.
