The Residents likely heard this song quite a bit as experimental musicians who had just released their first record. with A Horse With no Name being a #1 hit in 1972 its was a easy choice for their 3rd album The Third Reich 'n Roll. This song has never been performed live by the group as is cut from all live version of "Swastikas on Parade". While not official their are three total versions of this song on the "Groovy Greats RDX" and the "Meet The Third Reich" bootleg.
