"Super-Charger Heaven" (sometimes referred to as "Devil Man" due to its chorus) is the third and final official single off the Astro-Creep: 2000 album by White Zombie. The song can also be found on Rob Zombie's Past, Present & Future, the greatest hits album The Best of Rob Zombie, and a remix can be found on Supersexy Swingin' Sounds. The lyrics contain the line "Bury me an angel, God I need some inspiration" This is a reference to the 1971 film Bury Me an Angel. The audio sample contained at the beginning of the song "Look I know the supernatural isn't something that is supposed to happen, but it does happen" is from the original 1963 film The Haunting. Also, the song contains an audio sample of Christopher Lee speaking the words "It is not heresy, and I will not recant" from the opening sequence of the 1976 Hammer film To the Devil a Daughter. The audio sample in Latin is also from the movie and spoken by Christopher Lee, it translates as "you are working in your heart, you are not God, never are you in unity and you are common, out of union in despite of God". The song also includes the line "ring a ding rhythm", this was a film about jazz by Amicus films. The song made an appearance in the 1995 action film Judge Dredd starring Sylvester Stallone. The artwork for the single contains the japanese superhero Devilman, which is also referenced in the chorus of the song.
