Bloodhound Gang: Difference between revisions

 

Formed in 1991 in Pennsylvania, the Bloodhound Gang are a rap/metal group; although they originally began doing hip-hop, they evolved into a more traditional rock band format while still retaining a DJ. Their style tends to be [[Neoclassical Punk Zydeco Rockabilly|a little all-over-the-map]] as a result, but it's tied together by their lyrics. Usually considered more of a comedy band than anything, the Bloodhound Gang specialize in [[Dead Baby Comedy|off-color humor]], [[Double Entendre|dick jokes]] and [[A Worldwide Punomenon|many, many, many puns.]]

 

 

----

* [[Album Title Drop]]: The hidden track from ''Hooray For Boobies'' sees two opera singers do just that.

* [[Ballad of X]]: "The Ballad of Chasey Lain".

* [[Boastful Rap]]: "The Inevitable Return Of The Great White Dope" is a great example of Jimmy Pop's unique talents in this field.

** Completely averted in many, many of their self-deprecating songs.

* [[Brick Joke]]: "I Hope You Die" gets a great one in.

''A Bookmobile and a Mack truck...'' }}

** It goes downhill from there. And sure enough, in the last verse...

'''Cause he's the guy you flipped the bird the other day!'' }}

* [[Contemptible Cover]]: ''Hefty Fine'', which has a naked obese man.

* [[Greatest Hits Album]]: ''Show Us Your Hits.''

* [[Hurricane of Puns]]: Any of their songs ("Times New Roman, you know the type!").

* [[Joisey]]: They are not fans.

* [[Listing Cities]]: "Going Nowhere Slow," until the addendum: "But nowhere in New Jersey, that's the only place we won't go!"

* [[Motor Mouth]]: Jimmy Pop is capable of some serious tongue-twisters.

* [[Prison Rape]] / [[Black Comedy Rape]]: From "I Hope You Die":

* [[Refuge in Audacity]]: And ''how!''

* [[Refuge in Vulgarity]]: Yeah, lot of that, too.

** An interlude from ''Hefty Fine'' is a band member's recording of himself having [[Squick|diarrhea]].

* [[Sampling]]: These guys make ''extensive'' use of samples, and their debut album was almost entirely made up of them.

* [[Self-Deprecation]]

''"Cuz... [[Incredibly Lame Pun|can't hold a note. Can't carry a tune.]]"'' }}

** Nearly every song has some insulting reference to Jimmy Pop, or the narrator of the song.

* [[Signature Song]]: "The Bad Touch".

* [[Take That]]:

** "Did you like the movie Malcolm X?" (On a list of why you should kill yourself.)

** The song The Ten Coolest Things About New Jersey, which is absolute silence.

*** "Were you born and raised in New Jersey?" (on the previously mentioned song listing reasons to kill yourself.)

** "I hate Spin Magazine, 'cause they never ever plug me."

* [[Three Minutes of Writhing]]: The video for "Screwing You On The Beach At Night," although the bikini girl's antics are completely offset by Jimmy Pop being... [[Cloudcuckoolander|well, Jimmy Pop]]. The video is actually a parody of the infamous "Wicked Game" video by [[Chris Isaak]].

* [[Toilet Humour]]

* [[Unusual Euphemism]]: The lyrics to "Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo" are mostly a string of... ''inventive'' euphemisms for male and female genitals.

* [[Wildlife Commentary Spoof]]: "The Bad Touch" begins with a sample from one such commentary, discussing "the act of mating."
