The Third Reich 'n Roll (Music)	comment	The Third Reich 'n Roll is a 1976 studio album by the American Avant-Garde Music band The Residents. It was released to immediate controversy because of the Nazi imagery used on the album cover and in the lyrics themselves.However, The Third Reich 'n Roll is a Concept Album poking fun at the Nazis. It features an absurd complot theory that the Nazis actually created rock 'n' roll to brainwash the youth.note Another interpretation is that the group REALLY pokes fun at conformity in pop music, comparing it to fascism/Nazism. Still, the record is hardly flattering to Nazis. They supposedly did so through famous American Bandstand presenter Dick Clark, which explains why he is shown on the cover in a Nazi uniform. In line with this theory The Residents covered a handful of well-known rock and pop tunes from the 1950s and 1960s and sang them in a German-sounding voice with a lot of Teutonic noise and World War II imagery. Pure Nightmare Fuel to some, a hilarious Cover Album to others.The album remains one of their most popular. It has only two tracks, "Swastikas on Parade" and "Hitler Was a Vegetarian", which take up the whole album. Many well-known pop melodies can be recognized, though this is not always easy.

The Third Reich 'n Roll (Music) / int_3ccaf3ac	comment	No Swastikas: In order to get this album released in Germany, a censor bar was slapped onto every swastika and Nazi reference. The ploy would've worked if all of the Nazi references weren't small and scattered everywhere. Played straight with the other reissues. The Mute records cover is a black with the title and a disclaimer while Euro Ralph has new artwork with Hitler, holding a carrot, with Madonna on the forested outskirts of Berchtesgaden. In some cases the album was released in a totally black cover.

It may even been the first James Brown sample ever! Also, the very first seconds of the whole record are sampled from an actual German-language version of Chubby Checker's "Let's Twist Again".
