[edit] Music and lyrics
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 Hammer film To the Devil a Daughter. The Latin states: Insipientia corde suo, non es deus. Non est vita qui adorem, non es usque ad unum. Es excommunicatus, ex unione fidelium. (Foolish of heart, thou art not a god. There is no life for those who do not adore, and to a man thou hast not. Thou art excommunicated from the union of the faithful.)
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.
