If you’re like me, then you mostly know the Bloodhound Gang for their 2000 song “The Bad Touch” with it’s lightning fast lyrics that I can’t believe they actually got to perform on the Tonight Show.
However, once you dig into their catalog a little bit, you’ll find these guys have some very funny and wonderfully juvenile songs. 
In the tradition of horrible 80′s hair bands who give their members nicknames like Stix Tonguelove, the members of the the Bloodhound Gang are Jimmy Pop, Evil Jarred Hasselhoff, Q-Ball-The Yin, and the mysteriously named Daniel P. Carter. Ya gotta love band nicknames.
One of my favorite lyrics pretty much sums up where these guys are at. In the song “Ballad Of Chasey Lane, the protaganist introduces his new pornstar girlfriend to his parents.
Mom and Dad, this is Chasey
Chasey, this is my Mom and Dad.
Now show ‘em them titties
Now show ‘me them titties
Even my girlfriend laughed at that one and she hates this kind of stuff.
The groups began as a rap group and gradually changed into the alt rock/electronica group they are today. Generally they’ll move back and forth between punky kind of rock and heavily synth’d out club style music. And judging by the average club goer’s goal for the evening, many of the songs are about dropping trou and manhandling some flesh.
If you’re looking for deep humor that makes a statement about society and it’s inhabitants, you’re looking in the wrong place. This is grown men channeling frat boys, channeling 13 year old boys after stumbling across their first naughty website. It’s wonderful, escapist, funny music.
