"Real Solution #9" is a song off the Astro-Creep: 2000 album by White Zombie which was used as a promo single in 1995. The song is about the actions of Charles Manson and his "family". The song's name is a spin play on the title of the song "Revolution #9" by The Beatles, from whom Charles Manson derived many of his theories. The song features many audio samples taken from an interview of Diane Sawyer who was speaking to one of the Charles Manson "family" women and an audio clip of Charles Manson speaking the words "I keep a close watch on this heart of mine, I walk a line". The audio sample "are you hurt in any way? Do you feel like hurting yourself?" is from the television series COPS. The song also contains the tag line "Who Will Survive and What Will Be Left of Them?" from the movie The Texas Chain Saw Massacre poster in the lyrics. The distortion in Rob Zombie's vocals is caused by Power Rangers walkie talkies, which he uses throughout the song. It was the final song to be recorded for the Astro-Creep: 2000 album. Also, a remix version of this song can be found on the EP Supersexy Swingin' Sounds.
