Editorial Reviews

Sophomoric but occasionally amusing, the Bloodhound Gang's third outing serves up a dash of Cake, a sprinkling of Blink 182, and heavy doses of metal, hip-hop, and techno. And that's not even mentioning the Pink Floyd rip and Falco sample! Underneath the juvenile, jokey lyrics ("It's hard to rhyme a word like vagina") and cheap chortles (the faux-country "A Lap Dance Is So Much Better When the Stripper Is Crying" being one prime example) are a few memorable melodies. "The Bad Touch" is a catchy, sample-heavy, danceable sex song that name-checks numerous pop-culture touchstones, from Waffle House to the Discovery Channel. Metallica and Frankie Goes to Hollywood samples meld in the rap-metal "Mope." An ode to adult film actress Chasey Lain is yet another perverse novelty entry on this schtick-a-song offering. Yes, there are some guilty chuckles to be found here, but ultimately this 18-track outing is only truly titillating if you're 12--or act like you are. --Katherine Turman

4.0 out of 5 stars Sophmoric? Oh yeah...but terribly funny...., April 17, 2000

By	Yasmine F. Galenorn "Magic, Mystery, & Mayhem... (Seattle WA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

As a 39 year old feminist author, I almost flinched when I bought this CD. Bought it for The Bad Touch and came to just love the rest of it. Sophmoric? Oh yeah. Stupid lyrics? Oh yeah. So un-PC it would make a redneck cringe? Yep. But funny, terribly funny and created with a tongue-in-cheek tone that permeates the CD. These boys know what they're saying--the cultural references in the songs show us that; they are being just as superficial as our society is and they are having fun doing so. Most of the tunes are very catchy and good for dancing; if you lighten up, have a sense of humor then you can find the fun and life in this album that really is about having no life at all. I *could* be terribly offended by the lyrics, but I find myself laughing too much to get to that point. Fave tracks are Take The Long Way Home and, of course, The Bad Touch.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sophmoric,crude yet smart and clever, March 29, 2000

By	Dan (Denver, CO) - See all my reviews

The first time I heard Hooray for Boobies, I thought it was funny but silly. After listening to it further and reading the lyrics I found that these guys were smart. With references to Catcher in the Rye and Voltaire's Candide(I thought I was the only person around that read that!) Jimmy Pop is not a dumb white guy. In addition there are clever rhymes and puns. Everytime I listen to it, I pick up something I previously had missed. The songs have great beats and guitar riffs. I hope you die, three point one four(hidden meaning), Mope, Chasey Lain, and the bad touch are just a few of my favorites. I also like it because these guys aren't afraid to talk about controversial things and some of their songs could be very offensive to some people. I definitely recommend this album to anyone who likes rock, rap, and/or hip hop. Listen to it with an open mind and you will appreciate the humor.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funniest cd you'll ever buy, March 13, 2000

By	tommyboy (Wisconsin) - See all my reviews

This by far the funniest cd you'll buy. It is like Adam Sandler execpt more music. It has very funny lyrics if you listen closely. For example The Bad Touch is heavily played on the radio, but the cd gives you more lyrics you'll never hear on the radio. This is very worth the buy.
