The Union Underground led with "Turn Me On Mr. Deadman" when they released ...An Education in Rebellion in 2000, still the only studio album from the American nu metal band. Patrick Kennison wrote the music and Bryan Scott the words, and the two co-produced it alongside Don Gilmore, who also engineered, before Brendan O'Brien mixed it. It peaked at 11 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart.
Metal Hammer later hailed it as a nu metal anthem that leaned toward the industrial stomp of Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson rather than Limp Bizkit's baggy-shorts antics, and ranked it 36th among the genre's 40 best songs. Manson himself heard it in a strip club and chose the band as his tour mates, taking them out on the road in the fall of 2000.
