Third Reich & Roll is a 1976 album by the U.S. avant-garde pop group The Residents. Their second (officially) released album, it is a parody of pop music and commercials from the 1960s. The work consists of two side-long pastiches of various songs from the period including "Land of 1000 Dances", "Good Lovin'", "Telstar", "Hey Jude," "96 Tears," "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida," "Light My Fire," and "Sympathy for the Devil". Better realized and executed than their first album, it also generated controversy due to its cover art which featured television entertainer Dick Clark in a Nazi uniform holding a carrot while surrounded by swastikas and pictures of a dancing Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun. A version was marketed in the 1980s for German consumption which heavily censored much of the cover art.
The album was originally released on Ralph Records.
