Sieg Howdy!
Encyclopedia
Sieg Howdy! is the second album
by Jello Biafra
and The Melvins
. It consists of songs recorded during the same sessions that produced their first collaboration Never Breathe What You Can't See
but not used on that album, plus remixes of four songs from the first album.
The opening track, a cover of the Alice Cooper
classic "Halo Of Flies", has special significance for Biafra and The Melvins, as Biafra had heard The Melvins cover it when he first witnessed the group perform live.
Also featured on the album is an updated version of "California Über Alles
" with new lyrics by Biafra about the recall campaign that placed Arnold Schwarzenegger
in the California governor's office, as well as "Those Dumb Punk Kids (Will Buy Anything)
", a song where Biafra openly criticizes his former Dead Kennedys
bandmates.
The remix of "Enchanted Thoughtfist" is the first time Biafra and his fellow co-conspirator in Lard
, Al Jourgensen
of Ministry, have collaborated on a recording since the sessions for Pure Chewing Satisfaction
and 70's Rock Must Die
. "Enchanted Thoughtfist" may also be a reference to the Meat Puppets
song Enchanted Porkfist.
In the track listing on the back of the CD and Booklet it lists Kali-Fornia Über Alles 21st Century (live) as 5, Wholly Buy-Bull as 6, and Voted Off The Island as 7.
