"California Über Alles" was the first single by the Dead Kennedys. The record was released in June 1979 on Optional Music with "The Man with the Dogs" as the b-side. The title track was re-recorded for the band's first album, Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables (1980), and the version that appeared on this single, as well as the single's b-side, are available on the rarities album Give Me Convenience or Give Me Death (1987).
The lyrics were written by Jello Biafra and John Greenway, and Biafra composed the music[1] in one of his rare attempts at composing on bass.[2]
This song was featured in the video game Tony Hawk's American Wasteland and as a downloadable song in the Rock Band series. It is also sampled in a song by the Dance-Punk/Big beat trio The Prodigy, "Dead Ken Beats".
The song was also featured in the 2010 film, The Social Network.

Isn't this song call "we've got a bigger problem now" ? The lyrics are the same but just changed a little bit.
