The image is a Buddhist monk setting himself on fire, probably based on an event on a Saigon Street in June 1963, Buddhist monk Thích Quảng Đức lit himself on fire and set off a chain of events that led to America's involvement in the Vietnam War, with the text ‘Holiday in Cambodia’ & ‘Dead Kennedys’.

"Holiday in Cambodia" is a song by American punk rock band Dead Kennedys. The record was released as the group's second single in May 1980.  The song was written shortly after the genocidal dictatorship of the Khmer Rouge, led by Pol Pot, which is estimated to have been responsible for the deaths of roughly a quarter of the Cambodian population between 1975 and 1979. The lyrics are critical of disingenuous college-aged students in the Western world, contrasting their lifestyle with that of those under the Cambodian regime.
