ong

Manson, who had guest starred on Celebrity Deathmatch before, was asked by MTV to write a song about the show. Manson composed a song about people's obsession with violence and how they're influenced by TV, which he felt fit the show's satire about society.

Near the end of the song, the lyric "This is what you should fear, you are what you should fear." from Manson's song Kinderfeld, off the earlier album, Antichrist Superstar is recurred.

The song features many stylistic similarities (including vocal delivery and guitar riffs) to the classic Ministry song "Burning Inside", released 10 years earlier. Manson considers it as somewhat of an homage as he was a fan of Ministry.Fact|date=September 2007
