Refused, also known as Santa Dog '99, is an album released on CD by the Residents in 1999 to celebrate the end of the millennium. It collects the 1972 Santa Dog EP as well as every rerecording of the title track (also known as "Fire") that had been made up to that point, as well as new recordings made especially for the album. It was originally released by Ralph America in a limited run of 1333 copies (in reference to the Number of the Beast, given that 1999 minus 1333 equals 666).[1]
