"Turn Me On 'Mr. Deadman'" is a song by American nu metal band The Union Underground. The song was released as the first single from the band's only studio album to date, ...An Education in Rebellion. The song peaked at no. 11 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart.
Musical style
Metal Hammer called the song "a nu metal anthem" and stated the song "owes more to Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson's industrial stomp than it does to Limp Bizkit's big-shorted shenanigans."
Reception
The song was ranked at no. 36 on Metal Hammer's list of "The 40 best nu metal songs of all time".
Marilyn Manson heard the song in a strip club and hand-picked The Union Underground to be his tour mates. The band would tour with Manson in fall 2000.
