Homages in Modern Culture
Hurrah, die Butter ist Alle! served as the inspiration behind the song "Mittageisen" by Siouxsie and the Banshees; the song was re-recorded in German and released as a single with Heartfield's work as the cover art. The Swiss darkwave band Mittageisen (1981–1986) called themselves after this song title.
The band Blurt recorded a song called "Hurrah! Die Butter Ist Alle" on their 1986 album "Poppycock".
The British hardcore punk band Discharge used Heartfield's work "Peace and Fascism" for the cover artwork of their compilation "Never Again".
