Thunder Kiss '65 – White Zombie

This song references several media releases from the year 1965, when singer Rob Zombie was born, including "Satisfaction" by the Rolling Stones and "What's New Pussycat" by Tom Jones.

The audio samples "You're all shook up, aren't you baby?" and "I never try anything; I just do it. Wanna try me?" are taken from the 1965 movie Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!

The single was released 3 times before it appeared on Beavis & Butthead, where it garnered national popularity and became a hit, eventually receiving a Grammy nomination.
