History

Early days

The Bloodhound Gang started out as a small alternative band in 1992 called Bang Chamber 8. The band consisted of Jimmy Pop and Daddy Long Legs. They graduated from Perkiomen Valley High School. They released one known tape, which was self titled. Soon they changed their name to the Bloodhound Gang and changed their musical style. Their new name referred to "The Bloodhound Gang", a segment on the 1980s PBS kids' show 3-2-1 Contact which featured three young detectives solving mysteries and fighting crime.

Unable to get booked at any clubs, the Bloodhound Gang first performed in the extra room at Evil Jared Hasselhoff's house, in exchange for Schlitz, Marlboros, and a chance to hand out their first demo tape, entitled Just Another Demo. When the floor caved in one night, they began performing every month at CBGBs in New York City. When asked about the band's tenure at the club, Jimmy Pop was quoted as saying, "I've seen cavemen with better clubs."^[2][1] Bloodhoundgang. ...

Use Your Fingers

In March 1995 the Bloodhound Gang signed a record deal with Columbia Records. They put out their first full-length album, titled Use Your Fingers. They began touring around in the United States. At this time Daddy Long Legs and M.S.G., angry with Columbia Records, left the band to form another rap group, Wolfpac. Bass player Evil Jared Hasselhoff and Turntablist Tard-E-Tard joined the group as replacements. When the tour ended, the deal with Columbia Records was dropped and band members Skip O'Pot2Mus and Tard-E-Tard left to pursue a career in the customer service industry.^[1] Columbia Records is the oldest brand name in recorded sound, dating back to 1888, and was the first record company to produce pre-recorded records as opposed to blank cylinders. ...

One Fierce Beer Coaster

In March 1996, the band, complete with a new line-up, recorded their second full-length album, One Fierce Beer Coaster, first released on Cheese Factory Records (now Republic Records), and re-released on Geffen Records in 1998. The original release, designed by Michael Calleia at Industrial Strength Design in New York City, contained an actual beer coaster as part of the packaging. They embarked on their first "real tour" of the United States and Europe (they are quoted as saying this was "the first tour where nobody's parents had to drive out and pick up the band after the van broke down"). The album boasted the well-known song "Fire Water Burn." The song was featured in the movie Fahrenheit 9/11 as a song that is popular among US troops in Iraq. The band reportedly let Michael Moore use the song for free, claiming "Michael Moore kicks ass. He's the master of delivering a compelling point in an entertaining manner. So, when he asked us to use 'Fire Water Burn' in Fahrenheit 9/11, we not only said 'fuck yeah,' but waived our normal fee".^[4] In the summer of 1996 Jimmy Pop Ali had a supporting role in the independent film Kin by director Kurt Fitzpatrick and starring Fitzpatrick, Marie Hans and Ben McVoy.

Powered by the hit single, "The Bad Touch", they embarked on two more tours of Europe, where their popularity had increased dramatically ("The Bad Touch" and Hooray for Boobies reached #1 in Germany, where "Along Comes Mary" was also a Top 10 hit).

Hefty Fine

The band's newest album, Hefty Fine, was released on September 27, 2005. The title came about after Evil Jared Hasselhoff Phillips was fined during work on MTV's "Viva La Bam" (The Scavenger Hunt episode). Jared Phillips was fined $20,000, which Jimmy Pop allegedly had to pay (This is discussed in the "Uncommon-tary" Of the Viva La Bam DVDs). The CD's original title, Heavy Flow, was scrapped when it was noticed that fellow musician Moby had a song with the same name. The first single, "Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo," gained heavy rotation on music video channels. Although the track "No Hard Feelings" recently broke into the Modern Rock Top 50, their second single "Uhn Tiss Uhn Tiss Uhn Tiss" (which is featured in a Blaupunkt ad) has started radio circulation with a music video airing limitedly on a few music channels. Other songs from the new album are part of a campaign by the Bloodhound Gang to change the Pennsylvania state anthem into their appropriately titled "Pennsylvania"^[1], which is often incorrectly believed to be titled "Do You Even Know What a Wawa Is?", from that song's last stanza, as well as "Something Diabolical," featuring HIM's Ville Valo. The band's current members can also be found on a few episodes of Viva La Bam including the episode in which Bam Margera divides his friends into teams that go out and do outrageous stunts in order to earn points in a "scavenger hunt" to decide what happens to April Margera's piano that she wishes to get rid of.

Controversies

Geffen Records refused to release the song "Yellow Fever" due to its lyrical content about Asian women.^[6] Examples of the lyrics from "Yellow Fever" include "She's like an oriental rug 'cause I lay her where I please, then I blindfold her with dental floss and get on my knees" and "Oh me Chinky, she's so kinky, got me hot like Nagasaki, burnin' up like napalm burstin' like an a-bomb."^[7][8]Another song, "The Bad Touch", has the lyrics, "You and me baby, aint nothin' but mammals, so lets do it like they do on the Discovery Channel".
