Album information

Stylistically, the album is one of the most diverse the band has ever produced, and one of the most melodic. While there is still a more developed version of the rap metal the band had previously explored ("Hot Dog", "Rollin', "Full Nelson"), the band started to delve into more melodic territory. Songs such as "My Way" and "Boiler" feature Borland playing very large chords that involve all strings (as opposed to prior techniques of single notes and power chords) and could have been easily translated onto acoustic guitar, while The One is a very upbeat, relaxing song that has a very metallic ending, with Borland once again making use of his unusual four string guitar that featured a bass string as the lowest string. Drum performances from John Otto were also very varied and interesting, making use of a larger drumset than he had previously had. Bassist Sam Rivers also played very bass guitar parts that were just as integral to songs such as "Boiler" and "Hold On" as Borland's guitar playing. DJ Lethal had a more restrained role in the songs, scratching loops and samples in songs like "My Way" and "Livin' It Up", as well as participating in the full on rap songs the album had. Fred Durst's vocals and lyrics were varied, using both full on rap and full on singing, and tempering the heavy songs out with some screaming. Some of his vocals on the album, particularly on "Rollin'", were subject to criticism from the mainstream media.

The first part of the title is a scatological reference to the appearance of the human anus (Chocolate Starfish). However, Hot Dog Flavored Water is an inside joke started by Wes Borland at a truckstop while the band was on tour, where Wes noticed a jar of pickled eggs, and made a joke about doing the same thing with hot dogs (he took it further when he suggested they should bottle the water and sell it, hence 'Hot dog flavored water'). This article is about the bodily orifice. ... Wes Borland Wes Borland (born Wesley Louden Borland February 7, 1975 in Richmond, Virginia) is a musician, best known as the former guitarist in the band Limp Bizkit. ...

Durst himself refers to the album name in both "Livin' It Up", where he declares that "The chocolate starfish is my man Fred Durst," (Wes Borland has stated in an interview when questioned on naming of the album that Chocolate Starfish is a "weird nickname Fred has for himself") and "Hot Dog", where he tells his detractors to "Kiss my starfish, my chocolate starfish, punk." Both lyrics make the metaphor in question quite clear. The vulgar inferences led people to mix up Limp Bizkit with fellow nineties rockers Third Eye Blind. The mix-up was caused by the similarity when Third Eye Blind's lead singer, Stephen Jenkins, says the word 'bump' in "Semi-Charmed Life", sounding like the f-word.

The album features several high-profile guests, including rapper Xzibit on "Getcha Groove On", Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver frontman Scott Weiland on "Hold On", and rappers Redman, DMX and Method Man, including production by Swizz Beats on "Rollin' (Urban Assault Vehicle)", which is a remix of "Rollin' (Air Raid Vehicle)". Actor Ben Stiller appears in the hidden track of "Outro" as well.

The song "Hot Dog" is notorious for featuring the word "fuck" 48 times. Durst makes a reference to the amount of "fuck's" in the song: If I say "fuck" two more times, that's 46 "fucks" in this fucked up rhyme." The chorus, "You wanna fuck me like an animal/You'd like to burn me on the inside", is a reference to the Nine Inch Nails' famous hit "Closer" (the lyric is altered in the Bizkit version).
