Jesus Built My Hotrod is a 1991 single by Ministry and was the band's most popular song up to that point. The track features a driving beat and speed metal guitar work backing Butthole Surfers' Gibby Haynes gonzo vocal stylings.
The song was released November 7, 1991, a little more than half a year before it appeared on Psalm 69: The Way to Succeed and the Way to Suck Eggs. MuchMusic and MTV championed the accompanying video (which featured, among others, various footage of vintage NASCAR and drag racing events) and it enjoyed repetitive plays on both stations.
The song reached #19 on the U.S. Modern Rock Tracks chart and was #8 on ARIA's alternative singles for 1992.
Some of the vocal samples are Brad Dourif from the movie Wise Blood.
