"Jesus Built My Hotrod" is a 1991 single by Ministry and was the band's most popular song up to that point. The track features a driving beat and speed metal guitar work which backs Butthole Surfers' singer Gibby Haynes gonzo vocal stylings. It is notable for its polyrhythmic structure with the guitar riff in 5/4 and the drums in 4/4. According to Al Jourgensen's autobiography the single sold over 1.5 million copies worldwide. The song was released November 7, 1991, a little more than half a year before it appeared on ''Psalm 69: The Way to Succeed and the Way to Suck Eggs''. MuchMusic and MTV championed the accompanying video (which featured, among others, various footage of vintage NASCAR and drag racing events) and it enjoyed repetitive plays on both stations. The photo that adorns the cover of the single depicts a 1970 Chrysler 440 Six Pack V8 engine (equipped with 3 2-barrel carburetors). At one point in the video, a 1970 Plymouth GTX, equipped with the 440 Six Pack, is shown driving down the street, as the "Air Grabber" hood scoop opens. The song reached number 19 on the U.S. Modern Rock Tracks chart, was number eight on ARIA's alternative singles for 1992 and was number 3 in (John Peel's Festive Fifty for 1992 ). Some of the vocal samples are from movies, including Brad Dourif in ''Wise Blood'', and Dennis Hopper in ''Blue Velvet''. The song is available for download in the ''Rock Band'' series of games. A lyric from the song ("Ding a ding dang my dang a long ling long") was used (without spaces) as a cheat code in the video game ''Sleepwalker''. The song was featured in the 2014 Ubisoft video game, ''Watch Dogs''. ==Track listing== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jesus Built My Hotrod」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
