The Bloodhound Gang became immensely with their outrageous yet funny single "The Bad Touch" and have since released a few CD's. Outside of this one hit wonder that is good for a laugh if you listen to it every once in a while, the band is an absolute joke (no pun intended). I give them an extra star because there are some people who remained big and can't even produce a mildly interesting song, but regardless the only song worth a gander is The Bad Touch.

Bloodhound Gang mix rock and rap on this CD with outrageous lyrics that are the most surreal I've heard since Beck (a white-trash version of him anyway). This is definitely not one for the lyrically squeamish. During the course of the CD they manage to make reference to bestiality ("I Hope You Die"), drugs ("Mope"), oral sex ("Yummy Down on This"), finding words that rhyme with portions of female anatomy ("Three Point One Four"), cross-dressing ("A Lap Dance is So Much Better when the Stripper is Crying") and a blasphemous song with the same theme as the movie "Bruce Almighty" including the phrase "But would I be a good Messiah with my low self-esteem?/If I don't believe in myself would that be blasphemy?". Add in to that a really great use of samples and cameos including porn star Chasey Lain, Homer Simpson, Falco and Pac-Man and you have an album that's a lot of fun to listen to even if it doesn't tax the gray matter a whole lot (other than to chase down the samples).

HIGHLIGHTS:
"I Hope You Die" is probably one of the best revenge fantasies since Johnny Cash's "A Boy Named Sue". Frankie Goes to Hollywood has never sounded as tough as they do on the sample in "Mope". "Ballad of Chasey Lain" is a funny take on the sort of sad character who believes they have a shot with porn actresses. "The Bad Touch" was a dancy, clever ode to 'the nasty'. An unexpected twist comes with "Along Comes Mary", a punked-up cover of the 60s tune from The Association.

LOWS:
I could really have done without "That Cough Came with a Prize" or "This is Stupid" (opera singers made to sing a ridiculous lyric..which isn't even 'stupid funny'...it's just dumb).

BOTTOM LINE:
Despite the fact that this is the sound your kids probably like, you DON'T want to get this for them. It deserves every bit of the explicit sticker...and then some. Unlike some of Blink 182's moments of toilet humour, Jimmy Pop and company pair it with wit making it one that wears fairly well over the years even if it's not a "classic" or even one you'll have in your player on a weekly basis. You either love this or hate it..borrow it from someone first. As for this 34 year old guy, I love it. For extra hijinks, visit the Website at http://www.bloodhoundgang.com

3 1/2 stars

Its a genious. Lupus Thunder on guitar, Evil Jared Hasselhoff on bass, DJ Q Ball on the turntable, Willie the New Guy on drums, Jimmy Pop with vocals(correct me if Im wrong on any of this). Put it together and you have a pretty bada** band. Horray for Boobies is one of those CDs you cant live without. It makes you look good if you have it. You might want to wear one around your neck or something. Jimmy Pop's lyrics are undeniably genious. Lupus has good riffs but mainly consists of power chords and such, although it still sounds great. Evil Jared plays great bass. Anyway, the CD is for those who want some allout punk/rap/rock/whatever music. Its a must

What comes to mind when you hear the name Bloodhound gang? You think of their album Hooray for Boobies. Released on February 29, 2004. Most of you have heard their song Bad touch also known as the mammal song. "You and me baby be aint nothing but mammals." The good thing is there are 20 tracks on this CD so if you don't like one you have many others to choose from.
Their songs are I Hope You Die, The Inevitable of the great white dope, Mamas boy, Three point one four, Mope, Yummy down this, The ballad of Chasey Lain, R.S.V.P, Magna Cum nada, and many other great tracks. This does have the Explicit Lyrics sticker, so I don't recommend getting this for a young child. The type of music is like a hip-hop and rap/rock mix. The band has two other CDs Mope and Use Your Fingers. And yes both of those are explicit content. If you like this bad you might like Static X, Korn, and Slipknot. If you like bands like 50 cent and Jay Z you might not like this band. Id would give this band a 4 out of 5 for quiet a few good songs and a few bad,
