“Thunder Kiss ’65” is the first and only official single from the album La Sexorcisto: Devil Music, Vol. 1 by White Zombie.
The audio samples “You’re all shook up, aren’t you baby?” and “I never try anything I just do it. Wanna try me?” are taken from the 1965 movie Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!

Reception:
The single was released three times as a single before it gained the attention of Mike Judge and its video was aired on Beavis and Butt-head in 1993. The popularity of the single resulted in White Zombies first Grammy nomination for Best Metal Performance later that year. In May 2006, the song was ranked #32 on VH1s list, ’40 Greatest Metal Songs’.

Music video:
The support MTV provided by playing the “Thunder Kiss ’65” music video increased the bands popularity greatly (especially after having been played during the MTV animated series Beavis and Butthead on the episode “Yogurts Cool”). The video was directed by Juliet Cuming and features the band playing the song out somewhere in a desert with Go-Go Dancers and “monsters”. According to Rob, it is the lowest budgeted music video released by the band.
