Seriously, it's dangerous to listen to this song while driving. Also I fucking love the story behind recording of this piece - Gibby Haynes being absolutely shitfaced drunk, being capable singing only this fabulous gibberish and uncle Al using his sampling magic and making this song as awesome as it is. Fucking love it.

"At this very moment on stage We have drummer A playing in 7/8, Drummer B playing in 3/4, The bass playing in 3/4, The organ playing in 5/8, The tambourine playing in 3/4, And the alto-sax blowing his nose." - Frank Zappa (for reference, this is the song: ruclips.net/video/acpOO0kvfn4/видео.html)
saw them that tour as well. I wss 17.. body count, sepultura then the mighty ministry.. one of the loudest and best shows that I've seen.. the mosh pit covered most of the airplane hanger type venue.. mattress tied around concrete columns.. they were on the floor by the end of the show..
****Fun fact. Stories regarding the song's recording, given in various accounts over the years, hold that the first Lollapalooza tour, with Butthole Surfers featured in its lineup, came in Chicago to perform in Summer 1991. After the Surfers’ performance, lead singer Gibby Haynes had visited the Chicago Trax! studios. There, Ministry frontman Al Jourgensen asked Haynes if he could record vocals for the song, then only featuring guitar and drum parts with no vocals, mainly due to its beat structure. While alleged to be drunk at this point, Haynes had been performing his parts for some time, before falling asleep. As Jourgensen later explained, he spent about two or three weeks at home after that session, editing the tapes on a two-track recorder in order to render Haynes' performance as somewhat audible. He then overdubbed additional instrumental parts, samples from drag racing competitions and tape noises. In the end, Jourgensen and bandmates added a spoken-word intro to fit Haynes' “moronic” singing. Around the same time, guitarist Mike Scaccia and drummer Bill Rieflin had recorded a demo of them playing as fast as they could; initially conceived as a joke, it became the single's flipside, “TV Song”. After he finished editing, Jourgensen was contacted by Sire Records about getting a recorded material. Jourgensen sent a tape of “Jesus Built My Hotrod”, since it was the only song he had by this time. Sire staff were irritated with only having “Jesus Built My Hotrod”, as well that most of an advance, initially intended for the record, were spent by Jourgensen and his acquaintances on drugs. Jourgensen told them to either release the song and pay another advance, or terminate a contract. The label chose to release the song, with no further expectations from the band.
Gibby, drunker than shit, stumbled into ministrys studio, looking for some blow. Al was passed out & gibby, now totaly geeked on coke blew out the lyrics like a machinegun. and thus, history was made.
No word of a lie I put an Altezza in a river to this song, flew over a traffic island, across a road and slid down the riverbank sideways. Landed with the engine facing up 😂 next time I'll buy a V8.
@MKULTRA damn brother go to work. Gibby Haynes Jerry Lee Lewis where I live was the devil Go2work brother effing Gibby Haynes where I live freaking snow.

@@johnnydarter Brother you should Google the shit. I don't have the time, patience, or skill to do the story justice in a RUclips comment. But I do promise it is worth the read.
My awesome introduction to Ministry was Lollapalooza in '92 in Atlanta. The entire day is an epic memory punctuated by Ministry's performance. This and 'Just One Fix' are phenomenal live, whole set was dope! I will never forget!
I was at the Charlotte show. Twilight came and every concession stand was torn down by mobs and three giant bon fires were set on the steep hillside. It was the craziest mosh scene I’d ever been in. The police did not stop the show and Ministry opened with So What. Intense beyond belief. Most did not stick around for the headliner, The Chili Peppers, as I’m sure you remember.
I was at the Scranton, PA show. Of course, back in those days, Jerry Lee Lewis was the devil and Jesus was an architect previous to his career as a prophet.
Mindblowing piece of music. The single sold 1.5 million copies, it was the zeitgeist of 91-92, but Al had become a production genius before that, he worked his ass off
Excellent. Do you remember Dave Kendall from "120 Minutes?" The story goes that MTV sent him to the studio where Ministry was mixing this album to do an interview for the show. He showed up drunk and high out of his mind, stumbled and fell on the f*cking mixing board--ruining what Al was working on!! Al KICKED THE SHIT OF HIM!! Kicked his ASS!!!!! A bloodied Dave screamed at Al, "Do you know who I am??? I'll end you", and Al was like "Whatever, get the fuck out of here!" and that was end of Dave Kendall's career. 🤣🤣😅
It’s funny how it’s so *different* than all other Ministry songs, and still one of the best. When I first heard it in a store, five seconds into the first guitar solo, I smacked my money down.
_"all other"_ includes the nice "Effigy" (ruclips.net/video/ZUj8RosWIrg/видео.html) and my favourite "Just like you" (ruclips.net/video/n_dwXd0U774/видео.html). Well, it was my favourite prior to the release of "In case you didn't feel like showing up" where all those songs shifted from being nice ideas to being brilliant.
Here in 2024! I just recommended this to a young friend who said he just saw PRIMUS in Chattanooga. I used to watch this video on Headbanger's Ball in the 90s
This was my intro to modern Ministry. I actually knew With Sympathy as a youngin in the 80s and loved it. I had no clue about their stuff after, other than Halloween. Saw this on Headbanger's Ball, couldn't believe it.
Gibby walked in to the studio (drunk ) while ministry was recording and (drunkenly) belted out the lyrics to some dispute over t-shirt sales. And here it is.
@@WobblesandBean Yes. It's in the Ministry Autobiography. Gibby came in after being drunker than fuck on a five day bender, and reeked of gin so bad someone said he smelled like paint thinner. They propped him up on a stool and hit record after giving him a mic and letting him go on for like 10 minutes before he feel OFF the stool and kept rambling. After all the music was recorded for this song, it took Al three days to cut tape of Gibby's gibberish, and try turning it into a song.
Hey! I hear music in random noise, too. It's called Musician's Ear. (And it's maddening sometimes... especially when you can't keep up with writing what you hear!)
I have a T-shirt with this song on it. A girl came up and asked me when I was saved. I told her Ministry saved me and saved my life...if she only knew..
I was a young dj and played this song when it first came out at a high school prom in Mathews , Va. I will never forget the look of the teachers and adults :) and most students. The few students that wanted to hear it had the time of their lives during this 5 minutes!
The oh-so easy to offend, overly strict teachers and trendy, snowflake students that made up my high school would never have allowed Jesus Built My Hotrod (or any Ministry song) to be played at prom. Mambo No.5, Livin' La Vida Loca, & Macarena were what they wanted.
Junior year of high school, a buddy an I connected over our love of Mopar cars. I had a beat up '84 D100 Ram, an he had a built 383 Fury III we would sometimes take to the local 1/8th mile track just to have fun. I later bought a beat up '81 Dodge/Mitsubishi Mighty Max that was static slammed to the ground. Looking to improve his skills in body work, I offered my little rig an did some work with him in his parents' garage, often well into 2am. $4 sack of burgers from a place I've since forgotten. It wasn't perfect, but it was pretty cool. After graduation, we drifted apart. He was from a loyal Mopar family an was on track to be a master mechanic for all things Mopar at the age of 20. Last I heard years later, he had a bad breakup with his girlfriend/fiance', pulled over on the side of a road somewhere in his nearly-restored '85-86 Ramcharger, an ate a .45 hollowpoint... When we spent countless hours after school an during weekends trying to make something of my $500 pile, I had this song on one of my tapes. He'd never heard it before, but after, he would play on repeat time an again. I was almost sick of it, lol. Now, I just wish his brilliance would have gotten past his 23-24th birthday. He was a GENIUS. Only now I suspect he might have had some sort of autism/ADHD/or other social disorder. He never really connected with anyone that didn't share his absolute passion, including girls. I think his first true stable relationship ending sent him over the edge. R.I.P., Scott. Ding a Ding Dang, Brother.
First time I ever heard this song/band was when my dad just put a new speaker system in his avalanche and he put a subwoofer under the entire back seat section and my god the windows were shaking. I was 7 then now I'm 19 and still cant get enough of this band.
I remember when I was in high school this song came on. I was w my mom, she was driving and she said , this is stupid. And I was just sitting there laughing.
That's funny,my parents were the same way.but I never listened.i love to dance to these fun bands.i love them.a party band.hard to find this days.they are fun.but my parents always let me be me.yeah,they suffered a little,because I am a girl,but that is rock n roll.and that's life.when you are a teenager in the USA.a part of life.big deal.😂💡👍🎶☕️
OMG I just remembered driving aimlessly with my buddy one night around 1982 tripping balls on shrooms playing this song over and over holding an little American flag out the window just because it was hysterically funny at the time. . We started out in Philly and went to get a cheesesteak 2 blocks away and ended up in New Hope Pa about 80 miles away. Forever known as the New Hope with no hope mushroom trip. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.✌️
Mushroom trips wow. I went to a holistic practitioner yesterday , he has me hold a metal wand , it was connected to a wire that was trading my electrical currencies . Then he got codes sent to his computer saying Marijuana and shrooms are a stress to my body .
Lyrics for those interested Les Claypool: I'm goin' down to South Park, gonna have myself a time. Kyle + Stan: Friendly faces everywhere, humble folks without temptation! Les Claypool: I'm goin' down to South Park, gonna leave my woes behind. Cartman: Ample parking day or night, people spouting: "HOWDY, NEIGHBOR!" Les Claypool: I'm headin' down to South Park, gonna see if I can't unwind.
There's a "Surfin Bird" feel in that fast jibberish ahah! Musically it fuses the intensity and punch of electronic body music with the raw aggressivity of speed metal and hardcore punk, love it!
Jake here, I let a guitar go to some other s point. If you can travel rails then find the Texan with a limit ed edition bc rich warbea St by. If you can t find it keep asking. It's sound is 100percent :if you can use music 100percent intra venous coke rush. Getting old I stored it in a preacher s office for 5yrs. Finally taxed for it. if you can find it, it will be around Austin Texas. Lot's of delay and mix your mids in. I will here the some bitch, hopefully. Most recent album it's herd on. Butthole Surfers Electric Larry Land.
Maybe Watch Dogs was kind of a sloppy, but still, I were like T-Bone and Jordi, and honestly, it has a really good soundtrack (when you had to defend T-Bone, as well when you had to kill all these Viceroy's in brick factory to blackmail Bedbug). And in had a little potential, but unfortunately, too little.
I first listened to this in the 90's when I was in school but I could never know would represent my life years later, this is my song for 2019 Christmas !
As soon as T-bone blasted this over my phone in game, I fucking cracked up because it was so well suited for the situation. Then I proceeded to sit there, and listen to it for a few times after the mission.
Cassette old school as fuck , it would have needed a shit load of pencils to wind that tap back into the casing . The sound that would have been emitted from the cassette player when it chewed up the tape it would have been something else !!!!!!
guy at a skatepark was blasting music on his BOOM BOX (i’m 38 lol ) when i was doing my run and this comes on… SMH got a nice lil adrenaline kick and i ended up cracking 2 ribs… Thanks ministry 😂😂 #goodtimes
I gotta say, ministry is one of few bands I still trip out too from my early teenage years. Al is a musical genius in my book... Hope to catch em live next month in Cleveland...
Sometimes I wish I was a teenager in the early '90's, when all this awesome music came out......then again, sometimes I'm glad I was a teenager in the late '80's, because the crap I had to listen to made this stuff sound so much better.....
The story behind how they got the vocals is great. Jourgensen had been trying to get the vocals done for a while but was unsatisfied with it. Gibby Haynes showed up, wasted on something, so bad they could barely keep him in the chair, literally had to put him back in it multiple times. He supposedly ad libbed all the vocals in one go and then passed out.
I was playing Wacth_Dogs, and then when I was ready to move on problems show up. It was then when T-Bone asked me if I have good music to that moment and it was then when this song started to play and that mission became the best of the game.
This is my favorite Christian band
lol
@Natalie Pawlik - I think I just fell in love with you ✨🌙🌼❤☮ (;

The music is what I miss most about the 90s.
That and the chicks.
My youth... But yeah, the music was amazing.
Fucken A. So much has been lost. Weird. We should have kept the best bits and evolved.

I was a young dj and played this song when it first came out at a high school prom in Mathews , Va. I will never forget the look of the teachers and adults :) and most students. The few students that wanted to hear it had the time of their lives during this 5 minutes!
The oh-so easy to offend, overly strict teachers and trendy, snowflake students that made up my high school would never have allowed Jesus Built My Hotrod (or any Ministry song) to be played at prom. Mambo No.5, Livin' La Vida Loca, & Macarena were what they wanted.
Junior year of high school, a buddy an I connected over our love of Mopar cars. I had a beat up '84 D100 Ram, an he had a built 383 Fury III we would sometimes take to the local 1/8th mile track just to have fun. I later bought a beat up '81 Dodge/Mitsubishi Mighty Max that was static slammed to the ground. Looking to improve his skills in body work, I offered my little rig an did some work with him in his parents' garage, often well into 2am. $4 sack of burgers from a place I've since forgotten. It wasn't perfect, but it was pretty cool.
After graduation, we drifted apart. He was from a loyal Mopar family an was on track to be a master mechanic for all things Mopar at the age of 20.
Last I heard years later, he had a bad breakup with his girlfriend/fiance', pulled over on the side of a road somewhere in his nearly-restored '85-86 Ramcharger, an ate a .45 hollowpoint...
When we spent countless hours after school an during weekends trying to make something of my $500 pile, I had this song on one of my tapes. He'd never heard it before, but after, he would play on repeat time an again. I was almost sick of it, lol.
Now, I just wish his brilliance would have gotten past his 23-24th birthday. He was a GENIUS. Only now I suspect he might have had some sort of autism/ADHD/or other social disorder. He never really connected with anyone that didn't share his absolute passion, including girls. I think his first true stable relationship ending sent him over the edge.
R.I.P., Scott.
Ding a Ding Dang, Brother.
THE BEST SPEED METAL SONG EVER. YOU CAN'T MATCH THE FREEDOM OF THE 90's or the 70s ECONOMICS WILL NOT ALLOW IT.
Or the 80s.
It's not economics fault, blame social media
A Gibby Haynes vs. Scatman John mashup is sorely needed
From the early 90's, but amazingly it still sounds fresh and not dated, it rocks, love this track.
Finally, after 35 year, I got to see Ministry do this jam live! Thanks Yall! Thats been on the bucket list for a minute.
First time I ever heard this song/band was when my dad just put a new speaker system in his avalanche and he put a subwoofer under the entire back seat section and my god the windows were shaking. I was 7 then now I'm 19 and still cant get enough of this band.
lucky bastard
I played this song for my dog..
..and....
..he cut me a line out of HIS bag....
Now THATS A GOOD DOG😁

I remember when I was in high school this song came on. I was w my mom, she was driving and she said , this is stupid. And I was just sitting there laughing.
That's funny,my parents were the same way.but I never listened.i love to dance to these fun bands.i love them.a party band.hard to find this days.they are fun.but my parents always let me be me.yeah,they suffered a little,because I am a girl,but that is rock n roll.and that's life.when you are a teenager in the USA.a part of life.big deal.😂💡👍🎶☕️
If she thinks this is stupid, wait until she reads the lyrics to I am the Walrus!

98% of this song is jibberish, and I'm completley fine with that.
+Samuel Skillern Never been to a auction sale?
Not yet.
True. I loved this song since I first listened to it.
True.
exacty!
Jesus (and Ministry) built my hot rod. It's fondly remembered at Twilight Zone / Luv-A-Fair / Cruel Elephant here in Vancouver BC 🇨🇦
Back in the early 90's, I once ran 50 stop lights in this songs honor.
fucking rebel.
whatever happened to Ministry
They broke up in 2008, Had one reunion in 2011.
I just saw them last night in Denver
Cool! didn't know they were still touring.
OMG I just remembered driving aimlessly with my buddy one night around 1982 tripping balls on shrooms playing this song over and over holding an little American flag out the window just because it was hysterically funny at the time. . We started out in Philly and went to get a cheesesteak 2 blocks away and ended up in New Hope Pa about 80 miles away. Forever known as the New Hope with no hope mushroom trip. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.✌️
82? This song didn't come out till 91.
@@gabrieljames4910 They must have been really good mushrooms.

Mushroom trips wow. I went to a holistic practitioner yesterday , he has me hold a metal wand , it was connected to a wire that was trading my electrical currencies . Then he got codes sent to his computer saying Marijuana and shrooms are a stress to my body .

Never went to church but my Ministry sure did help me threw my teenage years......i miss the 90,s
my dad is 64, he LOVES ministry even bought their dvds. awesome when we sit down and watch them. hes a big fan of Uncle Al, and my dads name is Al!
Leeann Spence well you have a baddass dad like mine!
Leeann Spence THATS SO KOOL LEEANN , KEEP ROCKIN 😈❤💋
Lol I'm 50 this is what I listened to in my 20's...
"Haven't you heard? I'm the Vigilante, I clean up mess like you."
I'm here from Watch Dogs, in case you didn't catch my meaning
U kids with your stupid cartoons... 😒
Great song. It's good to rangadangdang your dangalonglinglong.
this is the kind of ministry i can get behind...... i am thankful i grew up in the 80-90's....
Amen brother!!
Amen to that
There's a "Surfin Bird" feel in that fast jibberish ahah! Musically it fuses the intensity and punch of electronic body music with the raw aggressivity of speed metal and hardcore punk, love it!
Ministry: I want to make a song that sounds like cocaine
Everyone: huh?
Ministry : yes
😂
Jake here, I let a guitar go to some other s point.
If you can travel rails then find the Texan with a limit ed edition bc rich warbea St by. If you can t find it keep asking.
It's sound is 100percent :if you can use music 100percent intra venous coke rush. Getting old I stored it in a preacher s office for 5yrs. Finally taxed for it. if you can find it, it will be around Austin Texas. Lot's of delay and mix your mids in. I will here the some bitch, hopefully.
Most recent album it's herd on.

Gibby Haynes: Hold my mirror.
No, Gibbey was on meth in this video. Dickloads of meth.
Listening to this music while defending T-Bone... fuck yeah!
+Ármin Lakatos Watch Dogs- best game
+Ármin Lakatos Good choice in profile picture.
+Denis Jawa Watch Dogs was not even in the 50 best games in the year it was released
~~(8:>
Maybe Watch Dogs was kind of a sloppy, but still, I were like T-Bone and Jordi, and honestly, it has a really good soundtrack (when you had to defend T-Bone, as well when you had to kill all these Viceroy's in brick factory to blackmail Bedbug). And in had a little potential, but unfortunately, too little.
this song was the best on the dancefloors back in the 90's still love it
I first listened to this in the 90's when I was in school but I could never know would represent my life years later, this is my song for 2019 Christmas !
When you need to clean up after a houseparty but your parents come home in ten minutes:
Perfect!! Lol
Bass Lightyeah holy shit. Hahahaha!
Perfect plan. I did so. Nobody stayed at my place! They all went out, before...
Been there done that too many times to ashamed of it anymore
😂🤣😂🤣
I need this song every few months. Play really loud to reboot your brain.
Me an my buddy met Al Jorgensen at Blackhawks game in the 90s gave us an autographs, KOOL ASS DUDE.
Every time I listen to MINISTRY.
SO DO MY NEIGHBORS ALSO.
And the neighbors Love it as well !!
so do and my neighbors listen to as well hearing me playing musinc they are listening to the loudness
As soon as T-bone blasted this over my phone in game, I fucking cracked up because it was so well suited for the situation. Then I proceeded to sit there, and listen to it for a few times after the mission.
ah you too ? i wanna redo the whole game just for this mission, love it so much
This song is what made that game enjoyable for me. No matter how boring it was grinding to 100%, this song made it worthwhile.
paddmaddproductions IK! Whenever i was driving or even on the street doing "side-quest" i always listened to this song, always, lol
Only good song on the whole soundtrack
What game?
This song has saved my ass on so many long hauls in the rig!! Thank Jesus for Ministry!!!
Jesus rebuilt my Peterbilt.
@@lesfaul4924🤘🤣🔧
Was driving a 440 six packed Dodge Coronet RT as a daily driver when this came out. Still drive it but not daily. Great song and video
Can't believe 30 yrs flew by I even bought the album on cassette!!!!!!!
never forgetting the RAVEN king
I still have the cassette. Need it, my 90s era tape player is WAY more powerful than my computer audio rig...
Cassette old school as fuck , it would have needed a shit load of pencils to wind that tap back into the casing . The sound that would have been emitted from the cassette player when it chewed up the tape it would have been something else !!!!!!
@@tomassalazar647 wish I still had my boom box . Remember the joys of making a mixed tape 💜💜💜
@@missq3989 those were the days!!...
The song that introduced me to Ministry and been hooked every since... Psalm 69 still their best album :)
Damn Christian music speaking in tongues like that.
This is the new good shit

Convert to Christianity, repent later
You have now been baptised.
Taken from one of the best albums ever made. Listening to it since 93.
I saw Ministry playing this song live and that was an epic moment!
jealous!!!!
Did Gibby sing it??
Must have. I guess. Never seen them live so...I just never imagined that he would be there everytime they played that song
IC Ministry live more than any other band going on 20 X Plus
The story behind this single is legendary.
What is that
How did this song never make it into a Tony Hawk game? It’s one of the most 90s/00s things I’ve ever heard!
Look up junkyard killyard
This song never gets old
ikr?
Will you Dingadigdang my dangalonglinglong??

Such a nice track to listen to while roasting the pawnee militia.

I fuckin love Watchdogs.
"Go ahead"
"Im takin some heat here, man!"

omgggg i just love this song so much, my dad used to play it when we were home alone, bro song is a legend
3:35 -- There's no use trying to talk, no human sound can stand up to this, loud enough to knock ya down....
Dennis Hopper : "LETS HIT THE FUCKEN ROAD!!!!"
This replaces my morning coffee
Nah, add a couple shots and a couple lines
I'd go to church a lot more if they played this kind of meaningful & inspiring music there---Wow!
Tourniquet, Deliverance, Vengeance Rising, Blood Good, etc...
Weapons grade perfection. Rising to the level of genius.
Jesus built my car!
Best song ever made !!! Thank you Ministry!!!
One of the best, if not the best, hard driving songs ever!
guy at a skatepark was blasting music on his BOOM BOX (i’m 38 lol ) when i was doing my run and this comes on… SMH got a nice lil adrenaline kick and i ended up cracking 2 ribs… Thanks ministry 😂😂 #goodtimes
It’s always those kind of tunes that make me wanna send it 🎉
Ladies and Gents, and others. The best driving music invented.
I gotta say, ministry is one of few bands I still trip out too from my early teenage years. Al is a musical genius in my book... Hope to catch em live next month in Cleveland...
Sometimes I wish I was a teenager in the early '90's, when all this awesome music came out......then again, sometimes I'm glad I was a teenager in the late '80's, because the crap I had to listen to made this stuff sound so much better.....
plenty of good music in the 80"s
Yet it's all better than the crap of today
I'm 44 and every night I can relax with this song before going to bed
The story behind how they got the vocals is great. Jourgensen had been trying to get the vocals done for a while but was unsatisfied with it. Gibby Haynes showed up, wasted on something, so bad they could barely keep him in the chair, literally had to put him back in it multiple times. He supposedly ad libbed all the vocals in one go and then passed out.
I was playing Wacth_Dogs, and then when I was ready to move on problems show up.
It was then when T-Bone asked me if I have good music to that moment and it was then when this song started to play and that mission became the best of the game.
And the Robots of T-Bone Helped The for The Portfolio became the best mission of the game too!
That change to his guitar riff from major to minor at 2:10 is brilliant. Ministry is living speed. Hooked.
Classic!!!
T-Bone
hope is for fools
I'm 52 this my time 91!!!!!! Generation X rules!!!!!!!!!
