In 2003 he made his directorial debut with the release of the film 'House of 1000 Corpses' to a lukewarm reception, though it garnered quite a cult-following. Its sequel, 'The Devil's Rejects,' was released in 2005. It was received much better than the first film, even getting the 'thumbs up' from well-known film critic Roger Ebert. Also in his films is his wife Sheri Moon Zombie.
In March 2006, he released his newest album, entitled "Educated Horses". The album was a more stripped down, raw rock record, and quite a departure from the techno-industrial feel of the old Zombie albums. While this change, along with Zombie's change of appearance (he lost the dreadlocks and went back to his natural hair color, blonde), upset many of his fans, it allowed Rob to experiment with his style without deviating from his core fan base.
The new album also featured two new band members. John 5, of Marilyn Manson fame, and Tommy Clufetos, the former drummer for Ted Nugent and Alice Cooper, replaced Mike Riggs and John Tempesta, who had left the band in 2003 to work on other projects.
Hellbilly Deluxe 2, released in February 2010, is the first release where Rob Zombie worked with his full touring band. Previous albums were written and recorded by Rob Zombie himself and a rotating set of musicians. Commenting on the change, Zombie stated, "I've always had a revolving roster of studio and touring musicians, but the three guys in my band now have been on tour with me for years. So we're making it as a band. It's called Rob Zombie, but we're treating it like a band.
His half-brother, Michael Cummings is the lead singer of Powerman 5000.
White Trash Freaks
Rob Zombie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
White trash freaks and a boogaloo doll
She got a sweet face smile and a wicked grin
Shot to her crib is an unborn twin
Dressed in poly of the union jack
Looking like a new world shark attack
C'mon, get on
Get on, get on
The broken bones and microphones
C'mon, get on
Get on, get on
The broken bones and microphones
She ride a mean machine called sugar doll
? winter Christmas fall
The heart sweet shotgun wind up toy
cranking on a shift like a menoloy
Shake it baby, shake it baby
C'mon, get on
Get on, get on
The broken bones and microphones
C'mon, get on
Get on, get on
The broken bones and microphones
Calling all white trash freaks and a boogaloo doll
White trash freaks and a boogaloo doll
White trash freaks and a boogaloo doll
She's a war hung painting heading west
Outlaw ringo across her breath
Covering a nasty pitball scar
Life ain't shit If you ain't a star
I said, Life ain't shit If you ain't a staarr
C'mon, get on
Get on, get on
The broken bones and microphones
C'mon, get on
Get on, get on
The broken bones and microphones
Calling all white trash freaks and a boogaloo doll
White trash freaks and a boogaloo doll
White trash freaks and a boogaloo doll
Doll, doll, doll, doll
The lyrics to "White Trash Freaks" by Rob Zombie are a call-out to all the people who are considered outcasts by society, the "white trash freaks", and a celebration of individuality. The lyrics describe a woman who embodies this outsider mentality and lives life on the edge. She's pregnant, has a tough exterior, and rides a motorcycle named "sugar doll". She's covered in tattoos and scars, but still, she is confident and powerful. The chorus repeats the line "get on, get on, the broken bones and microphones", which can be interpreted as a call to action for people to embrace their differences and live boldly.
Moreover, the lyrics also suggest that society often dismisses individuals who don't fit into predefined norms or standards, which is the reason why they're referred to as "white trash freaks". However, the song's message is that these individuals shouldn't be ashamed or afraid to embrace who they are and their uniqueness, regardless of how society perceives them. Additionally, the reference to "boogaloo doll" can be interpreted as a reference to an individual's self-expression, through attire or other forms.
