Third Reich 'N Roll

"The Residents were founded in the late sixties in the Bay Area, widely heralded for their ability to turn heads by staying out of musical confinements and shocking, out-of-this-world concepts. Each and every record in their legacy (which add up to more than 60 albums), is a groundbreaking exercise. The "Third Reich n Roll" is (aptly named) their third album. It revolves around the concept of pop music being fascist by selling fake rebellion to teens, keeping them docile and controllable. Maybe thats why American Bandstand host Dick Clark is pictured on the cover in a Nazi costume holding a carrot. The album dissects and ridicules famous pop songs (among which James Browns Papas Got A Brand New Bag) on both of its sidelong medleys. In all, it is said that no less than 29 pop songs are maimed and mangled into a mind shifting sonical experience that invites the listener to detect every pop culture reference thats in it."
