Satan On Fire

SOF was an early side project collaboration between Manson and his friend from Amboog-a-lard, Geordie White (later to be known as Twiggy Ramierez). Manson played lead bass and White was on vocals. It was supposed to be a Christian thrash-metal band designed so that they could sneak their message into Christian night clubs. According to interviews, they recorded a track named Mosh For Jesus, which got airplay on local Christian rock radio stations. No copies of this song have surfaced in the fan community yet, though.

In a brief interview that was in one of the Spooky Kids newsletters, Manson described Satan On Fire:

Chad:  What is "SATAN ON FIRE"? Manson:  SATAN ON FIRE is a band in town that calls themselves "christian death metal."  They hate the Spooky Kids because we are what they call "Satanic-Bisexual-Substance-Abusers." but to show them i can love anyone, we are going to let them play with us at the BUTTHOLE SOUTH. Chad:  Is Gordy White really your lover? Manson:  No comment.

In the October 1996 issue of Guitar World, Manson and Twiggy had this to say about Satan On Fire when interviewed:

Manson: Right before he [Twiggy] joined Marilyn Manson, we had two different side projects together. One was Satan On Fire, a fake Christian death metal band we started because we wanted to play at Christian nightclubs. Twiggy sang and I played lead bass. The premise was that we were a death metal band that was singing for Jesus. We wanted to infiltrate Christian nightclubs and cause havoc. But then we also formed another side project together called Mrs. Scabtree, where I played drums and Twiggy was the lead vocalist, dressed up like a black woman. Ramirez: Videotapes of that are floating around. GW: Did you actually infiltrate these Christian nightclubs? Manson: Well, we never really got that far, but we did have a song out that we got them to play on the radio. It was called "Mosh For Jesus." Ramirez: The Mrs. Scabtree single that was played on the radio down there was called "Herpes." It mentioned all the local girls who had herpes. GW: It must have been a very long song.

Four of the mystery tracks from the 100 Minute Demo have been identified as Satan On Fire songs by Scott Putesky. Now keep in mind that he didn't actually play on any of these songs, and they certainly don't sound like anything like Christian death metal, but so far it's the best explanation we've got.

There is also some confusion over the track that was listed as Number Nine. There are actually three tracks between Devil In My Lunchbox and Cat In The Hat, but the track listing on the oldest known copy of the demo only has Number Nine listed in between. It's not know if there were proper names for all three of these songs, and the taper forgot to list them, or if all three are presented as a whole called Number Nine. The first section starts with a bunch of Spooky Kids hotline messages set to a drum machine beat, and is commonly known as "Bone Job," a title made up by the idiot bootleggers who made White Trash Vol. 3. The second part is a spoken word piece by Manson, retelling a night out on the club scene (commonly listed as "Blood, Shit, and Cum," another title made up for White Trash Vol. 3). The final piece is commonly known as "Those Fuckin' Bitches" because is features a sample with that quote from the film Desperate Teenage Lovedolls.

Cat In The Hat (note: this is a reading of the book taken from a kids record and set to music) The sun did not shine. It was too wet to play. So we sat in the house All that cold, cold, wet day I sat there with Sally. We sat there, we two. And I said "How I wish We had something to do!" Too wet to go out And too cold to play ball. So we sat in the house. We did nothing at all. So all we could do was to Sit! Sit! Sit! Sit! And we did not like it. Not one little bit. *BUMP* And then Something went bump! How that bump made us jump! We looked! Then we saw him step in on the mat! We looked! And we saw him! The Cat in the Hat! And he said to us, "Why do you sit there like that?" "I know it is wet And the sun is not sunny. But we can have Lots of good fun that is funny!" "I know some good games we could play," Said the cat. "I know some new tricks," Said the Cat in the Hat. "A lot of good tricks. I will show them to you. Your mother Will not mind at all if I do." Then Sally and I Did not know what to say. Our mother was out of the house For the day. But our fish said, "No! No! Make that cat go away! Tell that Cat in the Hat You do NOT want to play. You should not be here. You should not be about. You should not be here When your mother is out!" "Now! Now! Have no fear. Have no fear!" said the cat. "My tricks are not bad," Said the Cat in the Hat. "Why, we can have Lots of good fun, if you wish, With a game that I call UP-UP-UP with a fish!" "Put me down!" said the fish. "This is no fun at all! Put me down!" said the fish. "I do NOT wish to fall!" "Have no fear!" said the cat. "I will not let you fall. I will hold you up high As I stand on a ball. With a book in one hand! And a cup on my hat! But that is not ALL I can do!" Said the cat... "Look at me! Look at me now!" said the cat. "With a cup and a cake On the top of my hat! I can hold TWO books! I can hold up the fish! And a little toy ship! And some milk on a dish! And look! I can hop up and down on the ball! But that is not all! Oh, no. That is not all... "Look at me! Look at me! Look at me NOW! It is fun to have fun From up there on the ball. And Sally and I, We saw ALL the things fall! And our fish came down, too. He fell into a pot! He said, "Do I like this? Oh, no! I do not. This is not a good game," Said out fish as he lit. "No, I do not like it, Not one little bit!" "Now look what you did!" Said the fish to the cat. "Now look at this house! Justify My Love (note: This is a cover of a Madonna song, with altered lyrics) Wanting, waiting for you to justify my love I want you to chew my balls In Paris, Niagara Falls I want you to lick my toes Los Angeles, San Francisco With the fags and the ho's. Wanting, waiting for you to justify my love For you to justify my love... Oh oh oh oh. Oh oh oh oh. Wanting, waiting for you to justify my love Wanting, waiting for you to justify my love

Thanks to Spooky Nate for the lyrics!
