Ministry's, "Jesus Built My Hot Rod"
Misheard Lyrics:
Jesus was the devil.
Original Lyrics:
Jerry Lee Lewis was the devil
"Jesus" adds: "The liner notes say, "Jerry Lee Lewis was the devil". But if you listen to the song, it is absolutely clear that that is not what they are saying. They are saying, "Jesus was the devil". They just didn't want to print that as the official lyrics. But it's absolutely clear, and the number of syllables is different." [Ed.'s note: When I checked out 'Psalm 69' from the library, the intro did say "Jerry Lee Lewis was the devil". But on the video for "Jesus Built My Hot Rod", I thought I heard the blasphemous lyric you are referring to. I don't know if Ministry cut a cleaner version of 'Psalm 69' for Walmart or not. The controversy continues!]
