Jesus Built My Hotrod - Ministry - MP3 instrumental karaoke

"Jesus Built My Hotrod" is an industrial rock song by Ministry, featuring vocals by Gibby Haynes of Butthole Surfers. Written by Al Jourgensen and Paul Barker, it was released as a single in 1991 and appeared on the album Psalm 69: The Way to Succeed and the Way to Suck Eggs in 1992. Inspired by both The Trashmen 1963 hit "Surfin' Bird" and Flannery O'Connor's novel Wise Blood, "Jesus Built My Hotrod" blends rapid-fire polyrhythms, metal riffs, and samples, highlighting the band's distinctive fusion of rock and industrial sounds. Its lyrics are an eccentric, high-octane tribute to speed and American muscle cars, drawing inspiration from Al Jourgensen's stock car driver stepfather. The single became a notable success for Ministry, reaching number 19 on the U.S. Alternative Airplay chart. Its energetic, chaotic feel made it a defining track in their discography, representing a carefree, rebellious spirit intertwined with the band's darker, more aggressive musical undertones.
