Bloodhound Gang!

[Gurm]

Stuff goes up and down all the time on their Cyber Hate Club site.

Back when Hooray For Boobies was relatively new, Jimmy Pop put up a little anecdote about each song. They were HILARIOUS. On "The Inevitable Return of the Great White Dope", which was clearly about his own life... he said that even though it was OBVIOUS what the song was about, he still got regular complaints about promoting the resurgence of heroin in the USA. Uh...

Or "The Ballad of Chasey Lain", he said something like "I figured that if I wrote a song about my favorite porn star, she might have sex with me. Instead, she told me she thought I was 'funny'. What is this - eighth grade?"

I am still saddened, by the way, over the loss of Spanky G.

The Bloodhound Gang was here in concert recently. But I'm not a concert goer and haven't heard a lot from TBG so I didn't go.

The only songs I'm familiar with are "The Bad Touch" and one other song that the only good radio station in town plays. The Bad Touch is a blast. It's like Jimmy Pop gathered the worse pickup lines ever created and made a song out of it:

"You and me baby ain't nothin' but mammals
So let's do it like they do on the Discovery Channel"

" Let me be Pacific I wanna be down in your South Seas
But I got this notion that the motion of your ocean means small craft advisory
So if I capsize on your thighs high tide B-5 you sunk my battleship"

"So show me yours I'll show you mine "Tool Time" you'll Lovett just like Lyle
And then we'll do it doggy style so we can both watch "X-Files""

Messed up songs I say, but a fun listen.

I've been in a mellow music mood lately, mostly because most new music sucks, especially "that BS that the record companies are trying to shovel off as "Rock" or "Hard Rock" but is really nothing more than a bunch of untalent retard trying to be the next Creed by passing off a mildly heavy guitar rift and hard rock while singing the most sappy ballad garbage they can pass off and still get away with calling it rock," and most of the good stuff is slightly mellow compared to what I normally listen to. God damn Coldplay ... nothing but boring, depressing, drivel that everyone is trying to imitate to sell a few extra albums...disgusting. Coldplay makes me want break someone's skull open to get over the depression.

Ahem ... I've been listening to The Gorillaz, Death Cab for Cutie, Hot Hot Heat, The Killers, and whatever good techno I can get my hands on (yes I know that's an oxymoron for some of you, so shut up about it).

Yeah, so as long as we're mentioning other bands, I thought I'd give mention to a fairly new Canadian band called "Bedouin Soundclash".

They've got a very unique sound. It fuses a lot of different styles.

It's good music for just chilling.

My favourite song is "Shelter" but they've got a lot of good songs.

Their lyrics are no where near as smart as The Bloodhound Gangs' though.

Word to the wise:

Don't buy Bloodhound Gang albums at Walmart. I was desperate to get Hooray For Boobies, and we were on vacation and the ONLY store in the area with music was Walmart. I ended up with an album called "Hooray". Yes, they removed the boobies. Every song was censored, and oddly so. In "The Bad Touch", they changed:

Put your hands down my pants and I bet you'll feel nuts.

to:

Put your ____ down my ____ and I bet you'll ____ nuts.

Huh? It was bizarre. I kept it just for fun. Also the color of the CD was different, and it didn't have the "insert tongue to simulate nipple" marking.

How the **** can they sell a censored//crippled cd??

[Jammrock]

How the **** can they sell a censored//crippled cd??

Because they are Walmart.

They are the largest retail chain in the world. They have more buying power than any other retail outlet in the world. They are hell bent on ruling the world. And they eat babies.

Walmart doesn't sell Rated M video games either. They are trying to be all "wholesome" and "pure" and "family friendly," despite causing thousands of US job losses due to their outsource=everything-to-cheap-foreign-labor policies, and the fact that they never pay their wholesellers/manufactures unless they feel like it, and they demand prices that cause companies to lay off workers to meet, and they bully anyone and everyone, and they eat babies.

I forgot ... they treat their employees like s**t, give them zero to no benefits, consistently screw them over with benefits (no matter what level they are in the company (below executives of course)), consistently do not pay for overtime, nor pay overtime pay, require some employees to come into work for mandatory Saturday meetings ... and uh ... that should cover it for now.

they do sell M Rated games out here.

they sell R rated movies.

but they only sell edited CD's. ****ing bizarre.

[Gurm]

Hey don't forget that Wal-Mart censors photographs! That's right, if you get your photos developed in Wal-Mart's photo lab, expect to have anything they "disapprove" of edited right out!

Kissing? Ok.

Fondling? Black.

Same-sex kissing... even if it's your sibling or parent? BLACK.

They edit out LOTS of stuff.

[Nowhere]

You're serious on that one, Gurm?

[Gurm]

You're serious on that one, Gurm?

Yep. Some folks did some testing a while back. Took a roll of pictures at a "birthday party". Apparently Wal-Mart doesn't mind INCEST, because when they took a picture of the guy kissing his sister (for the sake of science), it was ok even though there was obvious tongue involved.

HOWEVER, when he kissed his friend (male) (again, for the sake of science), even though it was a chaste kiss... the picture came back black.

So essentially Wal-Mart censors homosexuality, and anything more than a kiss.

[KvHagedorn]

It's OK for WalMart to do that though.. they are a big corporation.

[schmosef]

And they eat babies.

[Paddy]

i want my baby back, baby back, baby back, ribs....

Love the Bloodhound Gang! F.U.C.K. is definitely my favorite song from "Hefty Fine Advance". And of course, The Bad Touch, Ballad of Chasey Lain, Along Came Mary... They rock!
