Which punk band released the song 'California Uber Alles' in 1979?

The Dead Kennedys released the song "California Über Alles" in 1979.

The track was the American punk band's debut single and their first recording, issued in June 1979. It appeared on the band's independent label, Alternative Tentacles, with "The Man with the Dogs" on the B-side. The release helped establish the band's sharply political and satirical identity within the San Francisco punk scene.

Written by vocalist Jello Biafra with John Greenway credited for lyrics, the song imagines a dystopian California ruled by then-governor Jerry Brown. Its title parodies the German phrase "Deutschland über alles," while its lyrics combine political satire, surf-rock influences, and exaggerated authoritarian imagery. Readers sometimes confuse the original single with the later album version: the song was re-recorded for Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables in 1980. In 1981, the band also issued an updated version, "We've Got a Bigger Problem Now," which turned its attention toward Ronald Reagan.
