Genesis Platinum Collection Featuring the Illegal Alien Song

The Genesis Platinum Collection features all of the Genesis greatest hits including their 1983 song "Illegal Alien" from the Genesis album. The song depicts stereotypical problems involving illegal aliens followed by the chorus "It's no fun being an illegal alien". The song was controversial because of a part where the immigrant tries to trade sexual favors from his sister as a bribe to across the border that was edited out of the radio version and the music video in which band leader Phil Collins depicts the lead binge drinking, chain smoking, and Mariachi music playing immigrant with a fake Mexican mustache and accent at times wearing a sombrero.

The Genesis Platinum Collection includes all of the English rock bands most popular songs including "Land of Confusion", "Invisible Touch", and "Mama". The band consists of lead drummer and singer Phil Collins, guitarist Mike Rutherford, and Tony Banks on the keyboard.
