Bloodhound Gang is still a band! have been for 31+ years now.... How would they get canceled when they are still an active band?
Hey, you listened to my video suggestion! Cool!
"Retired". Ya because when you are a 40 year old man behaving like they did it's pathetic.
Hey @ThePunkRockMBA I love your content, your depth of musical knowledge is amazing! But...
I notice that you refer to KROQ in LA, you call them K-R-O-Q, instead of K-ROQ (K-Rock). Is there a reason for this, or is it just to be extra specific about the station call letters?
Once again, I love your work, you're awesome!
In July 2023, Jimmy Pop said that he was still working on making Bloodhound Gang music and that the band has not broken up.
Bands like Bloodhound Gang can't be cancelled because the people who laugh with them give exactly zero fucks about the people who would try to cancel someone.
I mean let’s be real you gotta be REALLY famous and do something REALLY bad to actually get cancelled it’s all overblown. Labels wouldn’t get this off the ground floor today though that’s for sure.
💯 💯
100%. Frankly I've always liked em and unless they do some actually henious shit I couldn't care less.
I love the description "the South Park" of music. I have been describing their music the same way forever. The band is also so self-deprecating that it makes trying to "cancel" them completely pointless. Same with bands like Infant Annihilator. who the hell is actually going to take a band with that name seriously? love me some IA, too. 😂👊
@@HotStrange"You need to be really famous and do something really bad"... Uh no you don't? All that needs to happen is a female writhing a fake "i wuz rapd" post about u, evidence not even needed. u will be canceled instantly no matter who you are
"I'm not black like Barry White, no, I am white like Frank Black is" - I always loved that line
I always like that line "the winner is the thinner, I wouldn't have to take her ass out to a fancy dinner"
Yeah thats such a cool line, i remember hearing it for a the first time, thinking, "did he just say, "im not"etc." Rewinding it listening again, "yeah he did, thats awesome!"
I always loved the opener of Yummy Down On This .. “Ouch, it won’t reach my mouth. If I could do it myself, I’d probably never leave the house”
Lifes short and hard like a body building elf, is one of my favourites 😂
"toxic shock syndrome gets more girls than me"...... (did he really say that?.... yes of course)
I’m 35 and I still shamelessly rock Bloodhound Gang’s Three Point One Four, Foxtrot Unicorn Charlie Kilo, Bad Touch and a handful of others fairly regularly.
Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo bro
57 an I still love One Fierce Beer Coaster.
uhn tiss for me, what a good track
Count me in! I‘ll save you a spot in the retirement Home, I’ll make it there first… or not ;)
And how many girls do you know who can play the harmonica with their 🐱
‘Lift your head up high and blow your brains out’ is my essential 90s feel good song
Life's short and hard like a bodybuilding elf!
@@deepfocus888 fucking classic
The Inevitable Return of the Great White Dope...fuckin love that song.
Shit. We're getting so old that "what can I say, it was the 90's" is a legitimate tool in our arsenal.
You're not wrong 😮
The late 20th century even
I listen to a podcast about Buffy the Vampire Slayer and there's so much (I think unintended) misogyny and racism that one of their catchphrases has become, "It was the 90's" (said sing-songy).
As teen in the 90s who loved all the stuff this refers to I feel old.
The first quarter of the century is almost over which is pretty wild.
Here in Europe, Bloodhound Gang was really popular.
They weren't controversial or shocking cause we had other acts that filled that spot, they was as more of a childish, fart-joke band that people from the ages of 6 to 75 could enjoy.
Fire Water Burn was a mega-hit and was played at every youth disco here in Sweden on repeat, and the video wasn't censored.
I love TBHG and have every album they made, plus the singles.
Got the Bad Touch Single 3 weeks before release and said "this dumb piece of shit is going to be a number 1 hit."
What helped, or did in my case really, was that a lot of European parents didnt understand sufficient English to actually hear what us 'kids' were listening to.. I was 14 (indeed as Finn says) when I bought Hooray for Boobies and 15 when I went to see them here in the Netherlands. Hell I didnt understand half of the refferences then
They were really popular in New Zealand too. I was only 5 when the Bad Touch came out but I can remember it being played on tv all the time, even years after it was released. You'd be hard pressed to find someone my age or older who doesn't know that song. Pretty sure their albums did really well on NZ charts too.
100% agree. In Portugal we had really famous controversial bands that made fun of everything in the nastiest way possible. Heck one of the guys of these bands even ran for President claiming he would buy a ferrari and a prostitute for every voter lol. BHG was just mild juvenile jokes boosted by cool music. Loved it :-) got hooray for boobies for Christmas back then ahaha
what are some of the other acts you speak of?
Haha that's because even though you were thinking "man these lyrics are low brow" you were bobbing your head XD
We all knew it was going to blow up
Their song Ralph Wiggum that is just Ralph's one liners in The Simpsons episodes as the lyrics is one of my favorite and most underrated songs of theirs.
"Salmon got her." -Ralph Wiggum, when (I think Ms. Krebapple ?) asked about his mother...
@@MichaelBrown-ff3goit's "Salmon Gutter"
They usually have a Star Wars reference in their songs, so I was surprised that "I bent my Wookie" wasn't in the song.
@@BruinsFTC24 really? Lol well ill be damned. 😆 that's what I get for thinking I know something 😏😁
So goddammit iconic I had a new love for The Simpsons thereafter. Thanks for mentioning.
I love them. Saw them on Halloween 99. I was wearing a NOFX hoodie waiting outside the venue as we got there early. Jimmy Pop came walking down the street and liked it and invited me into the bus where he gave me a beer and introduced me to his girlfriend. Then when I left the bass player gave me a crate of beer! So the show starts, Jimmy invites the crowd to spit at him and he's onstage trying to catch it in his mouth. Then he jumps into the crowd and starts rock n roll dancing with my sister ha. After the show I went to say bye to them and they invited us to spend the night partying with them but I lived like 40 miles away and had a train to catch. They are the nicest dudes ever, absolutely fantastic people.
Fat Mike is really nice especially if you hand him an unopened beer🤘
Jimmy Pop was a pretty funny writer and columnist for various magazines back in the day. He's actually a very talented writer who seemed to treat stupidity like an artform.
I'd totally forgotten he wrote magazine columns. You're right, the ones I remember reading at least were pretty funny
brilliantly said.
Their lyrics are absurd, but only in context, because otherwise they are extremely clever lol. I believe that's 95% because of Jimmy Pop.
their bass player is a damn nice dude. I got knocked out during a Slipknot show in Berlin ( a crowdsurfer with combat boots landed on me boots first). When I woke up, Evil Jared was sitting by my side on the edge of the hall offering me water.
honestly Jared and Jimmy are 2 of the nicest guys. Ive met both of them a handful of times and they are always chill
Drank with him while the opening band was playing at the metro in Chicago. I brought a breathalyzer kinda as a joke and we were getting all the girls at the bar to blow it. Dudes really tall.
Tell that to Spanky G.
@@anthonymckee3916 are you okay Mike? We understand. The fan interactions are fleeting, what you experienced was not.
Cool story, except the getting knocked out part I guess. I ended up with lots of boots in my face from crowd surfers as well, I turned around just in time to sweeten the deal even more usually xD
Wow...I remember when "water fire burn" used to get played on the radio constantly.
I’m 39 it’s one of my favorites still.
@@fbspecs83I'm 39 and never knew that was a bloodhound gang song, this blew my mind thought they were one hit wonders
Dude writes songs so effing clever. Even all the “immature dick and ass jokes”, he’s right there with Weird Al, IMO. When it comes to song writing… borderline genius
*_Jimmy Pop is a phenomenal lyricist. The entirety of “Hooray For Boobies” is pure lyrical genius, and I’m not even kidding. The pop culture references are so multilayered that even after twenty some years, I still find something new that I never caught before. For me, personally, it’s a top ten album, no question._*
All his lyrics, from all thier albums, are genius
I whole heartedly agree
Comedy gold. Fuck the 2020's *booohoo im offended*
Agreed. Hard off is my fav though. Still holds up
Came here to say essentially the same thing but less good.
love them. "A Lap Dance Is So Much Better When The Stripper Is Crying" is the quinessential 90's country song. it checks every box.
The best song for weddings ever
To this day that song will randomly get stuck in my head.
I love the visuals Jimmy Pop creates with that song
@@jonnylawless6797 Parking the beef bus in tuna town 😜
@@spliffdelakong5422 Same. My Kenwood in my car is just old enough to still have a CD slot as well as Bluetooth for Spotify. ...but I keep the Hooray For Boobies CD in my car simply because I have owned that same copy of that album for 25 years and there is something special about putting a CD in to a car stereo that just hits the spot. I keep Weezer's Pinkerton (the joke Jimmy Made about Rivers was hilarious btw) and I keep my old copy of Chocolate Starfish in the console, as well. 😂
Modern rap aint got shit on this
"Love, the kind you clean up with a mop and bucket
Like the lost catacombs of Egypt, only God knows where we stuck it
Hieroglyphics, let me be Pacific, I wanna be down in your South Seas
But I got this notion that the motion of your ocean
Means small craft advisory
So if I capsize in your thighs, high tide, B-5, you sunk my battleship
Please turn me on, I'm Mr. Coffee with an automatic drip
So show me yours, I'll show you mine, "Tool Time"
You'll Lovett just like Lyle
And then we'll do it doggy style
So we can both watch X-Files"
Fucking genius 😂❤
I don't know if it's the fact that I'm 36, but your videos almost always seem to be about artists from my youth I'm currently re-listening to. Just heard some of Hooray for Boobies last week, and oh man, does it hold up. I honestly can't even think of too many bands that can include this level of witty humor and musical talent today!
They actually had some unironically well-written/played punk songs. Ralph Wiggum, I Hope You Die, and Pennsylvania are the main ones that come to mind. Also their cover of Along Comes Mary
Those are my 3 favorite songs from them.
Do you even know what a WaWa is?
Ralph Wiggum is their best song
+1 for Ralph Wiggum man. Love that song. Pennsylvania is right there too.
“We are Baldwin brothers; not the good one but the others”
“We are the queef after; a corn star breaks the g**g b**g world record”
One Fierce Beer Coaster is a start to finish masterpiece.
absolutely
You got that shit right. Get up, you’re asleep at the wheel!
I didn't appreciate 'Your only Friends are Make believe' because I didn't know who Mr Rodgers was. Nowadays, I think the weakest song on that album is 'It's Tricky'
@@aarondunn6759 well that's not their song so I guess that's OK. At least it's a cover that's totally different front the original and not just a redo of run dmc's style
YES IT IS!!!! 😂😂😂
The world needs The Bloodhound Gang now more than ever.
The songs would pretty much write themselves. There's just so much bulls**t nowadays they could make fun of😂😂😂
Especially now and harder@HardlyKJ
I grew up in between Westchester and Philly during the height viva la bam when I was introduced to Bloodhound Gang in elementary school. Imagine being a teacher and your third grade student is singing the ballad of Chasey Lain.
The '90s-'00s was the best era for children consuming explicit material. I got in trouble in third grade for demanding my classmates start referring to me as "Sex Machine" after watching From Dusk Til Dawn with my friend and his uncle. Nowadays explicit material is way too explicit for children to consume.
I saw them in a small venue in Seattle early 2000's. Unquestionably the wildest concert I've ever been to. At the start of the show, they pulled a guy from the crowd and wanted him on stage during the show pounding warm Dr. Peppers. As many as he could. They later directed him to piss his pants, to which he hesitantly obliged. That was just one of many stage antics. Fun times.
Wasn't the deal that if they finished the case of warm Dr Pepper they'd give them $100?
Yes indeed sir, good call. There was also something with a funnel down he pants of a large man, then pouring a gallon of milk into it. Yep, I was technically an adult at that show.@@BentonHart
They did something similar when I saw them but Jimmy Pop had the guy puke on him
Seattle has the best music scene 😅 been to El Corazon, Showbox Sodo so many times and I've never been disappointed.
They did the exact same at a vancouver concert with a case of gingerale. The guy refused to piss his pants and the band took a 30minute break trying to force him to do so. It was stupid for sure
Evil Jared moved to Berlin, Germany in 2006 and became a local celebrity, with many wild appearances in clubs and local TV. He can still be seen in German formats, but has stopped drinking 😄
I still remember that boxing match against an Olympian discus thrower haha
I was never really into Bloodhound Gang but I do have one fond memory related to them. In the middle of a field training exercise in the military (7-11 months obligatory military service was still a thing in Sweden back then), the truck carrying the food caught fire and no-one even tried to put out the fire, we all just stood around and sang Fire Water Burn (until some officer noticed).
Fuck Yeah 🤟🔥🔥
I knew every word to Fire, Water, Burn back in grade 6 in 1997. Great song! Brings back some amazing memories.
Awesome video Finn!
Same here, you and I are just about the same age....I remember spinning One Fierce Beercoaster nearly to death in the ol' discman in 6th grade circa 96. Turns out to this day I still remember all the lyrics, as well as to I wish I was queer
Me listening to the song Fire Water Burn at 12: wow!
Me at 13: Well this is gonna be my personality for the rest of my life. (Along with Depeche Mode and Blur which Jimmy Pop probably loves)
Harry Dean, the BHG DJ, is my friend, he's doing a lot to help local musicians in my area. He's a good dude. I don't know everyone, but that dude is legit good people.
Their drummer is nice, Jimmy Pop was a real lyricist….Incredible bass lines. Sick band
Some of their deep tracks, like "Asleep At The Wheel", are criminally underrated.
To be fair to them, they didn't just kidnap women in the Bad Touch video, they lured various people out to dance to their song including chefs and mimes.
The world needs more Bloodhound gang.
That was such a magical time in life, West Chester was such a hopping place because of the popularity of Jackass and Viva La Bam, it was a party everywhere. This was literally right before the Internet took over and changed the world, I’m so glad I got to enjoy this time period!
Your CKY/Jackass filming locations videos are top notch! To anyone who hasn't seen them, I highly recommend.
@@damnitboy9635 Thank You so much! Best comment ever! 🤘🛹🎸

I had to keep creating new emails in the early internet era because I would go 30 days without checking emails and my account would get deleted for inactivity. Sometimes I have to repeat that to myself to remember the old world I came from.
@@D-Fens_1632 The times have certainly changed, lol. Great comment!
Finn confusing criticism with that "cancel" trigger word again
Finn is really disappointing me lately. He is more concerned with stroking the SJW crowd than he is with having common sense or a sense of humor. Being appealing to sponsors is one thing..i understand that is part of making content...but being a total schill for a group of turkeys is a totallly different thing. To use an old term that he likes to talk about so much, he has become a major, major sell out. He has sold his common sense.
just like "woke" this is a right-wing buzzword
Jimmy Pop’s innuendo laden lyrics are God Tier! He is the best songwriter, with a serious-ish song for example is "Something Diabolical", and hilarious song "Diary of a Stranger". He is so funny to me.
Graduated HS in 2000, so being a teen when these guys were at their peak was right up my alley 🤣
Same - '82 :D
03 here 😂
💯
'83 yo!
@@ghost_to_a_ghost LMAO I was finishing college.
I think the monkey suits really worked to undercut any sinister vibes in the Bad Touch video, sorta like how animated shows generally got a lot more leeway with "objectionable" jokes. It's so absurd on its face it's hard to take seriously.
The world needs groups like Bloodhound Gang to remind them to laugh. Without humor, people die inside. There've been a lot of internal deaths in the last decade or so.
Could not agree less...I mean more. :)
As planned by those at top that’s why comedy is being attacked and you see so many people being cancelled for the smallest of reasons
One of my favorite bands overall. Bloodhound gangs crude humor and music was extremely popular in the early 2ks. Wish they would go on a random tour with VV or something.
Story time! I was listening to the album Hurray For B**bies while sitting in a hospital waiting room to get a ct scan because we thought I may have gotten a concussion… and watching the September 11th terror attacks happen on the waiting room TV. Yes, that is my soundtrack to that day.
WOW. That’s a story.
I saw Bloodhound gang at HFStival 2000 in Washington DC. Pretty outrageous set that included pulling fans onstage from the pit and gratuitous nudity. At one point Jimmy Pop crowd surfed from the stage at least 1k feet back into the crowd and back. Needless to say, 17 year old me was very impressed!
I was there too! I was 15/16 during that time (born in early September). I miss HFestival so much. I went to quite a few of them back in the late 90's/early 2000's and saw the likes of Deftones, RHCP, Green Day, Incubus, Foo Fighters, etc sooo many more great bands. Washington DC baby!!!
I was there! I remember, I think it was the bass player from the band was doing some stuff to a female fan while he was playing.
@@j-m-e4478 Yup, those guys were WILD
I was there! HFStival was epic. Nothing today compares
@@j-m-e4478oh wow hahhah more context on that?
Genuinely...
I'm 40, and I started listening to these as a teen. I cant say I _still am_ exactly, can't remember the last time I did, but...
There are moments when I'm just making a coffee, taking a shower, taking out the bins, etc, where my brain just decides "lets internally sing THE ENTIRETY of The Inevitable Return of the Great White Dope."
The writing is clever and sophomoric. Jimmy Pop knows his core audience. Beer Coaster is one of my all time fav's and is always in rotation on my playlists. I mean the drummer from Def Leppard's only got one arm!
In the early 2000‘s they were incredibly huge in Germany. Their songs were on MTV and it’s local counterpart VIVA on heavy rotation, they played the biggest festivals and I think generally, Germany was one of their biggest „markest“. Maybe it was because people didn’t use to speak English that much and well back then, because I don’t remember anyone being upset about their childish lyrics, only their antics like pissing on stage rolled some eyes.
I met Evil Jared once in Berlin during a Lamb Of God show, a really nice and down-to-earth guy actually 👌🏼
But I think they wouldn’t have as much success and leeway here as they had twenty plus years ago.
I thought they were a german band for the longest time. For some reason the bandname seemed german to me
They were big in Sweden aswell and we have been speaking English fluently for 60 years now, they were more of a softer version of our swedish counterpart and we found that funny.
@@ZappaSheik Which band was your Swedish counterpart if I might ask?
@@sonofsamlaw I was wondering the same thing.
True, I lived in Germany for 10 years, and I speak fluent Deutsch. We all thought the Bloodhound Gang was from Germany, I swear I even once heard a DJ on the radio say they were from Germany. BTW, Anyone remember The Guano Apes?
YES! Thank you, man. Jimmy Pop deserves way more attention,praise and some flowers ❤
Why would they get cancelled? The 2000s weren't some magical time where no-one was censored. People who complain about PC culture and Cancelling just seem to be circle jerking over some invisible cryptid.
Free speech includes speech you don’t like or agree with.
The cover of Hefty Fine literally altered me in the most profound way, stirring up feelings burried deep inside ....ironically a very "outside the box" moment of revelation....😅
i love this band so much..
and they brought HIM to the u.s. market, another band i love so much
I'm sorry but him is terrible
@@sumo-ninjawhat do you listen to lol.
Question, how? It was Bam not Jimmy.
@@CyPhaSaRin Jimmy Pop, singer of the Bloodhound Gang, wondered why he couldn't find the album in stores or online in America. The Bloodhound Gang and HIM both had their big hits at the same time and therefore met at European festivals and maintained contact, even though they were decried as a chaotic band with fecal humor.[36] For this reason, Jimmy Pop wanted to do the band a favor and decided to set up a record company that would distribute the album in the Boston area. In June 2000 he called Seppo Vesterinen, HIM's manager, but it was not until two years later, in June 2002, that a contract was signed.[37] To get around the naming problems, the album was released under the name HER (His Evil Royalty).[2] The album was only released on October 28, 2003 via Universal Records, licensed by Jimmy Franks' record company, and was limited to 1000 copies. It was only sold in Newbury Comics stores in New England, Massachusetts.[38] ((TRANSLATED FROM GERMAN WIKI))
The group acquired the rights to the name and has since been allowed to call itself HIM in the USA.
I remember when my friend introduced me to them in High School on a road trip (to get snacks during our off period) with "Wake Up You're Asleep at the Wheel" and then that song became the Anthem for my life.
Mate, you unlocked a time in my life that I have'nt thought about for sooooo many years. You said the band Social Distortion, which I haven't heard of in forever and that was nagging at me "Social Distortion? I know this band...Right?"
So I looked them up, and a flood of memories came back to me. Wow!
Sometimes you get caught up in the rat-race of "adulting", and forget about the times you were so free to spend with people that were genuinley great.
Thank you so much for mentioning them! I'm going through my internal camera roll and remembering some really great memories!
"Kiss Me Where it Smells Funny" is on my permanent playlist 🤣🤘
I remember their performance quite detailed.They were headliners for the festival which happened the same weekend in the same area in spite of another (more mainstream focused) festival so the spirit was right on. It was really a miracle to have them in such a small city and although no flags were used to wipe ass, they touched the crowd with similar supporting shout-outs.
They were a legitimately good band that didn't hold punches and were fantastic entertainment. And yes that is a hill im willing to die on.
For some reason in the late 00s I used to conflate that song for the music video for that song where the singer strips down to his bones, unskinning and all
I could never figure out why I confused the two lol
I was an exchange student in Germany in 1999-2000 and Bloodhound Gang were massive there. I saw them live in Freiburg in 2000 and it was one of the funnest I've been to
I saw Evil Jared a couple of weeks ago at a Babymetal concert in Berlin.
The “One Fierce Beer Coaster” album is hilarious!
Their lyrics, the intricate, often extremely clever (although wrapped in toilet humour) are so underrated.
Talented songwriters.
Catchy musicians.
Altogether Ooky was a great single. I wish they explored that sound a bit more with a follow up album. Jimmy is an extremely clever songwriter.
Evil Jared actually lives in Germany now and participated in several TV Shows as contestant like the TV Total Wok challenge and is still often in german reality shows.
Every time I get drunk I listen to them 😂😂😂 this era of music was soooo good . Love these videos man !
I‘ve been on tour with them as support act in 1999 - we found them to be very funny and nice guys🤷♂️ still got the tour jacket they gave each of us at the end of the tour 😀
It's pretty funny that you made this video, just 2 weeks ago I decided to listen through their whole discography. I learnt 2 things, their music still rocks and I am just as immature as I was then. I turn 40 in April....
Off topic but, I don’t see any videos being made about Wendie O’ Williams and the Plasmatics. Maybe something that would you in the future.
Love your channel.
Ooooooooh yes he needs to!
I love this band I go on a bloodhound gang binge at least once a month they crack me up but they are also very musically talented
I remember writing Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo on a math homework in high school. Didn't realize that was going to be the one day the teacher collected our homework to review, nor did I realize what the lyrics were spelling out. While he reviewed our work, he called out my name and said "Hey, i think its supposed to be Umbrella".
I haven't listened to them in ages, but One Fierce Beer Coaster was my jam back in the day.
A video on No Use For a Name would be awesome!
Please!!!!!!!!!! Unsung hero songwriter, guitarist goes on to foo fighters.. amazing band
I saw them in the UK with Bowling for Soup.
BFS sat on a wheeled crate and Evil Jared pulled them across the stage using only his junk.
Seriously, these days everyone is so uptight and trying to keep up with the current moral standards and who to cancel next. This has gotten really dumb and tiring. Bloodhound Gang were ridiculous and that was the whole point. It wasn't serious, it was fun, it was stupid - but by no means does it mean that the band themselves were dumb. It usually takes a lot of intelligence, braveness and awareness to be funny. So, if you're offended by Bloodhound Gang, I really hope you can lighten up and see the funnier side of things, especially when they're not PC.
I thought that "I hope you die" was particularly brilliant, and when they came out with Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo I thought they had reached a new pinnacle of sign writing. I don't usually like schlock rock like Puddle of Mudd and Theory of a Deadman whose catalogs are full of cringy sexually graphic songs that take themselves to seriously, but I've always had a soft spot for the Bloodhound Gang.
One of my finest moments was as a junior enlisted soldier I went out to a small bar at the end of a monthlong training class with the senior enlisted instructors and did The Ballad of Chasey Lain on karaoke.
By the end of it the shock wore off the instructors and a few of them belted out "Now show em them titties" during the final chorus.
"I thought that "I hope you die" was particularly brilliant, and when they came out with Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo I thought they had reached a new pinnacle of sign writing."
Patrick Bateman?
Would you say that single was when they came into their own? Commercially and artistically?
@@wikipediafollower which one. I list 3 songs.
I'm a 34yo woman so I was/am the wrong demographic but omg the Bloodhound Gang scratches a brain itch for me.
I was in the top .5% of Spotify listeners last year. I know every word to every song.
I am deeply ashamed but I have insisted 3.14 (with the Jimmy's mom intro) be played at my funeral one day. The idea of my family belting out VA-GIIII-NAAAAAHHHHH over and over again as my last request (after all the deeply offensive lyrics) is the send off I need to get to wherever I'll actually enjoy eternity.
"What about that teenage witch, Sabriina?" Lol
"A lap dance is so much better when the stripper is crying" 😂
The Bad Touch lives rent free in my head. Only really heard of them within the last couple years, but definitely a gem from a long gone time.
always thought it was hilarious that they approached Robert Smith in order to sample 'Close to Me' on 'She Ain't Got No Legs,' and he was super super upset and offended and ofc said no, so they just played the song themselves and changed a couple notes 🤣🤣
Holy shit I've never heard this story, but that is the greatest thing I've heard in a long time 😂
Occasionally it feels like a video is made just for me and you've done it twice with ICP and BHG.
This is definitely one of your better videos. I learned a lot and the subject matter was wicked interesting.
Great work!
Using 'punk50' as a discount code for a ready-meal which has just been sold to me in a youtube video. Lol
Oh man, you didn't even mentioned they had an underage drummer at some point early in their career!
Spanky G!
Jimmy Pop is one of the greatest lyricists of our day. No, I'm not kidding. The jokes are fast, furious, and hilarious. And his flow is incredible.
When I discovered Napster in 2000(ish), a high percentage of songs burned to CD were Bloodhound Gang, including various remixes of The Bad Touch.
Still one of the best verses of all time, "Love, the kind you clean up with a mop and bucket
Like the lost catacombs of Egypt, only God knows where we stuck it
Hieroglyphics, let me be Pacific, I wanna be down in your South Seas
But I got this notion that the motion of your ocean
Means small craft advisory
So if I capsize in your thighs, high tide, B-5, you sunk my battleship
Please turn me on, I'm Mr. Coffee with an automatic drip"
This is one of my favorite bands of all time. Even my wife sings along to them because she hears them so often. Kiss me where it smells funny
Actually a great band. Cool lyrics, funny, eclectic music styles. Way better than most of their radio contemporaries.
I have been commenting this video request for almost two years xD Thank you, Finn. I'm sorry this isn't doing bigger numbers. They are unironically one of my favorites bands lol. I unironically believe that Jimmy was one of the best lyricists of all time.
Spanky G was the drummer for my band in 1995. I fired him for something stupid. I was in the wrong. He joins The Bloodhound Gang a short time later and is the drummer on One Fierce Beer Coaster as well as certain songs on the follow up including their biggest hit
Can’t cancel someone who literally doesn’t give a shit about anything or anyone’s opinions. They’d just go play sold out shows in Europe and write a few songs making fun of the people trying to cancel them.
Mabye we would actually get some new music from them if the leftist news cycle set their sights on the band.
OMG that opening clip is HILARIOUS!!! "Im bam margera, I gots my own show! My shoes got my namez on it!" LMAOOOO
I love the bloodhound gang. But Jimmy Pop is an absolute legend.
You can not imagine how difficult it is to hold a half gallon of moo juice and polish the one-eyed gopher when your doin' seventy-five in an eighteen-wheeler.
Did I say that out loud?
Bloodhound Gang is seriously awesome, still funny as fuck. You can't cancel a band that has a fandom that doesn't give a fuck
Let's not forget The Dicamillo Sisters - But Why's it so cold?
He didn't
I so glad to have grown up in the 90s. The best decade by far
They’re a band that’s always had the same “nobody, not even ourselves, is safe from being ripped to pieces with truth”.
Dingleberry Haze sounds like a weed strain nowadays.
Sounds more like a wisecrack you make at your friend who has some dirtweed lol.
When you keep deciding to pee on your bandmates in public during live shows, well, Bloodhound proved that being cancelled was possible even back in the day. Great band though. I still listen to them at 54 years old.
I saw them with alien ant farm supporting them. Jimmy pop was standing by their bus outside of the venue. We were taking to him and he pulled out a cheap little $20 Kmart keyboard and played master of puppets and Beverly Hills cop theme. Super nice dude and absolutely hilarious! Met Jared after the show and got autographs. Tried getting on the bus but got denied in the funniest way. Great live band super fun show and awesome guys!
Fire, Water, Burn was a cultural moment that has left a bigger impact than the band itself
Proud to say these dudes were my first show I ever saw. Ranch bowl. Openers 22 Jacks and Nerf Herder.
Thanks so much Finn! I’ve loved BHG since before the Bam/cky connection because of my older brother buying Hooray for Boobies. (As well as hearing WFB on 107.7 The End) Then I went back and discovered the early stuff (old singer is in Wolfpac, a guilty pleasure even for juggalos)
I like how rembrant from the warriors was part of the bloodhound gang show lol.
Little fun fact is Daddy Long Legs of Wolfpac used his affiliation into the band to carry his own horrorcore group in Wolfpac, and, as someone who was a brief hype guy for em, i can say hey was a hard guy to sustain space around. The funniest part is when he left they blew up and wolfpac just kinda gelled in the horrorcore scene and didn’t progress other than a staple of the horrorcore scene.
