“Just One Fix” is the third single from industrial metal band Ministry’s 1992 album, Psalm 69: The Way to Succeed and the Way to Suck Eggs. The song features samples from Sid and Nancy along with a sample of Frank Sinatra reciting “Just One Fix” (from the movie The Man With The Golden Arm).
The video features footage recorded by the band Coil of one of Al Jourgensen’s influences, author William S. Burroughs.Burroughs also provided the singles cover art.
Sampling:
It is rumoured that the Rammstein song Du Hast is based on the track, or that the guitar riff in the Rammstein track was cut and sampled directly from Just One Fix due to the similarity in the guitar riffs of both songs, but the members of Rammstein are quoted as saying that they were simply highly influenced by Ministry.
The sample of “Gimme the thorazine. You don’t need the thorazine” is a slowed down excerpt from the movie The Trip. Peter Fondas character Paul is actually tripping on LSD and crying for thorazine while Bruce Derns character John is trying to calm him down.
Video:
A music video for the song was produced, and is notable for featuring Beat author William S. Burroughs in both audio and video samples. This version of the song features a repeating audio sample of Burroughs saying “Never trust a junkie.” It was featured in an episode of Beavis and Butt-head, where the title characters declared it to be officially the “best ever”.

“New World Order” is a political doctrine/conspiracy theory about a central, one world government. (US President) Bush Sr. is quoted with saying N.W.O. on several occasions around this time, using it in his speeches and is most likely the first figure of authority to expose the public to this phrase in the states.
