"Sheriff Fatman" is a song by English indie rock band Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine, released in 1989, and featured on their debut album, 101 Damnations (1990). The track is probably their best-known original composition.[1] The lyrics rail against slum landlords and their intimidatory tactics used against tenants, and include references to Nicholas van Hoogstraten (referred to as "Nicholas van what's his face") and Peter Rachman, as well as Nazi war criminal Klaus Barbie.[2] "Sheriff Fatman" featured on the influential 1990 Madchester compilation album Happy Daze.
