"Super-Charger Heaven" is the third and final single off White Zombie's 1995 studio album, Astro-Creep:2000 . 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 artwork for the single incorporates the Japanese superhero Devilman,who is also referenced in the chorus of the song.
Like many White Zombie songs,the song contains clips from old horror films. The song opens with spoken words:"Look,I know the supernatural is something that isn't supposed to happen,but it does happen",a sample from the 1963 film The Haunting .
The song contains a section of spoken Latin,from the 1976 horror film To the Devil a Daughter . The Latin states:Insipiens in corde suo,non est deus. Non est qui faciat bonum,non est usque ad unum. Es excommunicatus,ex unione fidelium. ("The fool (hath said) in his heart,There is no God. There is none that doeth good,no,not one. Thou art excommunicated from the union of the faithful.") The first two sentences of the Latin passage are quotations from Psalm 53.
Another line from the same film,"It is not heresy,and I will not recant!",is also spoken by actor Christopher Lee and sampled in "Super-Charger Heaven".
The lyrics contain the line "Bury me an angel,/God,I need some inspiration",a reference to the 1971 film Bury Me an Angel . The song also includes the line "ring-a-ding rhythm",which was a film about jazz by Amicus Films.
The music video,the third music video made for a song off the album,features the band playing live on stage at California,Las Vegas,and Detroit. Alice Cooper joins the band on stage for a few brief seconds during the video.
