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".

Famous quotes containing the words modern and/or culture:
“Though collecting quotations could be considered as merely an ironic mimetism—victimless collecting, as it were ... in a world that is well on its way to becoming one vast quarry, the collector becomes someone engaged in a pious work of salvage. The course of modern history having already sapped the traditions and shattered the living wholes in which precious objects once found their place, the collector may now in good conscience go about excavating the choicer, more emblematic fragments.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“The treatment of African and African American culture in our education was no different from their treatment in Tarzan movies.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
