They need more songs like this

0.75 sounds like metal country mix of music

Wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa waa

Wait people don't know? Yes this is the same lyrics from the Ministry song (Jesus Built My Hotrod), but the dispute over t-shirt sales was about RATM selling their t-shirts for half the price of everyone else on the Big Day Out tour right? They got banned and had to sell them outside the festival grounds unless they jacked up prices. This is the story I know from the early 90's.

this song: Aaaaaaaah!

Well then, that sticky damn fusion, sticky sticky son of a gun,

Yabadababatabana am I on the run?

Whenever that all the fusion damn sticky sticky son of bitch?

Yabadababatabana am I on the hitch?

I said ooooooooooooh wa waa waa wa wawa wa waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

Well then, that sticky damn fusion, sticky sticky son of a gun,

Yabadababatabana am I on the run?

Wah wah wah wah wah wah darlin' do you still tell me to play?

Yabadababatabana am I on midday?

I said ooooooooooooh wa waa waa wa wawa wa waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

WHAT NOW............

Whenever that all the fusion damn sticky sticky son of bitch?

Yabadababatabana singing on a pitch!

Whenever that all the fusion damn sticky sticky son of bitch?

Yabadababatabana am I on the hitch?

I said ooooooooooooh wa waa waa wa wawa wa waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa



WAH! Jesus Built My Hotrod: Soon I discovered that this rock thing was true
Jerry lee lewis was the devil
Jesus was an architect previous to his career as a prophet
All of a sudden, I found myself in love with the world
So there was only one thing that I could do
Was ding a ding dang my dang a long ling long

Ding dang a dong bong bing bong
Ticky ticky thought of a gun
Everytime I try to do it all now baby
Am I on the run
Why why why why why baby
If it's so evil then?
Give me my time, with all my power
Give it to me all again (wow)
Ding a ding a dang a dong dong ding dong
Every where I go

Everytime you tell me baby
When I settle down
Got to get me a trailer park
And hold my world around
Why why why why?

Ding ding donga dong dong ding dong
Dingy dingy son of a gun
Half my time I tell you baby
Never am I all for sure
Why why why why why baby
Sicky sicky from within
Everytime I stick my finger on in ya
You're a wild wild little town bitch
Now how 'bout ding a dang dong dong dong ling long
Dingy a dingy dong a down

Everytime you tell me baby
When I settle down
Got to get me a trailer park
And hold my world around
Why why why why?

In my dang a ding a ding a ding dong
A sticky sticky son of a gun
Ding a danga danga dong dong ding dong
Why why never know
Why why wack a dong a dang ding dong
Then you take it on the bill
Ding dang dong don't dong
Whoa!

I wanna love ya!

Why why why, why why darling
Do you do you tell me to play?
Half the time I talk about it all now baby
You know what I'm talkin' about I said
Why why why it'll
Ticky ticky ticky ticky
Son of a gun
Ding ding dong a bong bong bing bong
Ticky ticky thought of a gun

Bing bing bang a bang a bang bing bong bing a bing bang a bong
Binga bing a bang a bong bong bing bong bing banga bong

Bing bing bang a bong bong bing bing binga binga banga bong
Bing bing bang a bang bang bing bong

Ding dang a dang bong bing bong
Ticky ticky thought of a gun
Everytime I try to do it all now baby
Am I on the run
Why why why
It'll ticky ticky ticky ticky ticky ticky
Dawn of a gun
Bing bing bang a bong a bong bing bang a
Ticky ticky thought of a gun
Bing bip bip a bop bop boom bam
Ticky ticky through the day

If you got a doubt 'bout baby
The memory is on the bed
Why why why why why
Darlin' uh it don't know
When my time is on
Might tell me never do it on his own
If my time was all as is yours
Make me burn a wish
When my time with you is brutish
No I'll never not ever

Why why why why why why baby heavy hell
Alone and it's here it's this thunder
The thunder oh thunder

Jesus built my car
It's a love affair
Mainly jesus and my hot rod

Yeah, fuck it! NOT. THE. SAME!

It was a love affair. Mainly Jesus.

Probably the best song on independent worm salon in my opinion this and alcohol

Best song ever!

I did have a "Jesus Built My Hot Rod" T-Shirt. Maybe there was a dispute- Gibby's "lyrics'" Did he get a cut of what is often the most profitable segment of a band's products.

this sucks so soooooooo SO BAD

You're alone on that one buddy

Butthole Surfers and Ministry both toured with Rage Against the Machine on the 'Big Day Out' tour.
RATM were selling their t-shirts at half the price of everyone else, hence the origin of this song.
Yes it is Gibby doing lyrics on Jesus Built My Hotrod, I don't understand this comments section.

Oh, and RATM were banned from selling their t-shirts, unless the matched price with everyone else, that was the cause of it all.

so who won that battle did rage have to charge more for their shirts or did the other bands charge less

Is like punk, I like it

Yes its the same lyrics.I would guess its them making fun of people who think they sold out for collabrating with Ministry.Considering its called "Some Dispute Over T-Shirt sales" Id guess thats a reference to selling out.Sadly their last good album.

mmh, i think the meaning is literal, two fans disputing which band did the song, ministry or butthole surfers?

Its because the "Jesus Built my hotrod" T-Shirt was Ministrys bestselling T Shirt during this era and Gibby wrote the song, but it was a minstry T-Shirt.

These are the lyrics to "Jesus Built My Hotrod".

MINISTRY 🖤🖤🖤

Nicole Novo YEAR!MINISTRY!LOVED💜

i believe Gibby wrote them

@Uncle Staple Gibby wrote the the lyrics, except for the 'Wise Blood' samples by Flannery O'Connor. "Where you come from is gone, where you were going to, weren't never there..."

Fucking Ministry up the ass. Equally good.

He plagiarized himself.

hell yeah

album?!? how about band?

Rubber or brass"?

There's either something I'm missing, or these guys make no fucking sense.... but whatever it is, I love what I'm hearing

these 2 songs are nothing alike. open your ears.

gibby sung Jesus buit my hotrod for Ministry. duh.

exactly!!!!

Just a thought, but I listen to a lot of different music and the Butthole Surfers are unlike everything else I've ever heard, and make most of the things I've heard in my life sound pedestrian and samey and a bit shit. Also love Th Ledgendary Shack Shakers - check them out!

I don't know why people compare this track to Jesus Built My Hotrod. Gibby's always been known to scat scream

this is still 1 of my all time favorite albums

Most underrated album of the '90s! These guys are heroes.

A damn good band.

kick ass
