Context also comes into play here. When BHG hit it big, the music scene was drowning in the sorrows of grunge, most popular music at this time was depressing as fuck, and these guys brought some smiles back
"Lapdance..." is such a simple but funny song. 2 mates of mine sung it at a bar on a karaoke night. It was a semi-trendy bar full of beyonce and dance music fans. The reaction was priceless!!!!!! BHG would have been soo proud.
6:00 - GOTCHA!!! xD Also, the line "this monkey's going to heaven" is a reference to a song called "Monkey Gone To Heaven" from a band called Pixies, which you should definitely react to. They were one of the most important bands in the late 80's-early 90's Alternative Rock scene. : )
"Why's Everybody Always Pickin' on Me?" is far from serious, but it's the closest thing I can think of to a Bloodhound Gang hit. It actually got a fair amount of alternative radio play back in the day, which is pretty amazing considering its biggest lyrical hook is a guy shouting "THE DRUMMER FROM DEF LEPPARD'S ONLY GOT ONE ARM!" I think Jimmy Pop's best bars are probably in "Lift Your Head Up High (and Blow Your Brains Out)", though. "Life's short and hard like a body-building elf" is one for the ages.
In regards to the 'what did their parents think' .. on one of the albums there is even a segment where Jimmy Pop calls his mom and asks for help finding a word that rhymes with vag...
They do a cover of Along Comes Mary that they are able to turn into their own killer version while staying out of their typical lane, if you will. It's worth a check out.
@6:38 THIS! That is the best way to not only describe Bloodhound Gang but many other comedic yet talented bands like Weird Al, Tenacious D Neckrogoblikon, and the legends Steel Panther! On a separate tip tho, Bloodhound Gang should be in at least a semi weekly rotation, they have so many other gems in their sophomoric library of education! Cheers fam!
non-silly bloodhound gang only exists in their cover songs. They usually have one cover song per album. They only released one music video for one of these covers and that is for Along Comes Mary.
Aqua teen hunger force used fart sounds to censor the curse words which was infinitely more funny than the standard bleep. Metalacolypse fittingly used guitar chords scratching to censor their cursing.
There sense of humor is second to none. Every band either did a song in a prison or the crazy groups did it in a mental institution. Blood hound gang did it In a retirement home! Gotta love it!
This song is classic. It is premised upon the 1984 hip-hop single "The Roof is on Fire" by Rock Master Scott and the Dynamic Three (an 80's hip-hop name if I've ever heard one) and references a lot of music and pop culture from the 70's through the 90's. My favorite references are the lines " I'm not black like Barry White (a famous soul singer from the 1970's). I'm white like Frank Black (lead singer of late 80's and early 90's influential alternative band Pixies, who you guys should definitely check out)" and then goes on to paraphrase some lines from the Pixies hit "Monkey Gone to Heaven". My personal favorite Bloodhound Gang song from back in the day was "The Lapdance is so Much Better (When the Stripper is Crying)" although it is definitely crass and borderline offensive, especially these days. Thanks y'all. I always enjoy hearing your takes on this oldies
This song made a reference to the Pixies' 'Monkey Gone to Heaven' - don't think you've reacted to them yet, but they're one of the most influential alternative rock bands (notably on Kurt Cobain).
The UK Surf version of Wave of Mutilation would be great...UMass would be my second choice. Hopefully that will lead them over to the Modest Mouse end of the pool a little bit too.
I had (Still have) this album and I'm thinking real hard about this... I don't think they had any songs that weren't silly. Pretty much all of them were filled to the brim with innuendo. They did it well though!
My favorite song of theirs is Along Comes Mary. It's the last track on Hooray For Boobies. It's pretty heavy, and it's one of their more serious songs. The video has comedy in it though.
I love watching people reacting now to stuff that I listened to back in the day that was hot and kewl and all my friends would sing with but is considered old now out dated to us and yall bring it back and make us feel young again and wanna go out and do something stupid while jamming to it like we did back when we was young and stupid.
From the Same album as this song ( One Fierce Beer Coaster) they did one called BOOM which is kind of a battle rap between them and Rob Van Winkle better known as Vanilla Ice.
I love BHG and their irreverence and the path away of the overcrowded more commercial music that populates the charts these days, this took me back and reminded me of the Roxbury guys and the Jim Carrey sketch for the SNL (Haddaway - What is love) that turned into a meme that to this day still kills me every time xD
When he says "I'm not black like Barry White, no I am white like Frank Black is", he's referencing Frank Black (a.k.a. Black Francis), the frontman of the Pixies. The next few lines reference their song "Monkey Gone To Heaven", which is a great song itself.
It still takes talent and skill to create a silly song as it does to make a serious song.... hell weird Al been doing it for years lol. BHG does grow on ya 👍🤣🤣🤣🤘😎🤘
Two serious songs I can name off the top of a my head ''Something Diabolical'' featuring HIM and ''Boom'' featuring Vanilla Ice They rarely do serious songs but when they do they hit hard
Serious songs aren't really their lane 😆 but I'd say Jimmy does sneak some real bars in songs like Boom, and lyrically I think Asleep at the Wheel is slept on.
I'm almost 30 years old and I always wondered where the roof is on fire thing came from, watching your reaction video in 2022 I now know it's these guys lol
With amazing word play such as “I’m hung like planet Pluto, hard to see with the naked eye and if I crashed into Uranus I would stick it where the sun don’t shine” Jimmy Pop is an underrated song writer. Genuinely good band.
they were bigger in europe then in the US, they did alot, of tours in europe and became one of the coolest american bands here on the old continent, thanks America for bringing us the bloodhoundgang
I remember back in the day Howard Stern used to brag that the lead singer was an intern for his show for 1 day before his record deal got signed ... and now for my daily request .. please review The Decemberists "The Crane Wife" "Yankee Bayonet" "The Infanta" or " The Mariner's Revenge Song"
Pennsylvania. It's got the highest level of hidden poignancy of any song I've heard. There's a story contained in the song but you have to listen a couple times to extrapolate the backstory
His parents know exactly what jimi pop is like. He is like an x rated version of Bam Margera. Must be something in the water in Pennsylvania because both are from there
This is probably the one and only time a censored version is the best version 😂, that donkey sound, hilarious. I remember when this came out, there was a radio station called 93X, 93.7, that had a cagematch where they'd play two songs every night, then everyone would call in and vote on which one was better, this song was the winner for something like 7 or 8 months 😂. Cant remember what finally won and ended the streak, been so long. Now i feel even older then i already did 🤣🤦
Yes! I just imagined Jimmy Pop going home to his mother and being like Mum I wrote a fucken song you should check it out. And Mum’s like ‘oh nice Jimmy that’s very creative’
The numbers are a reference to a song by the Pixies called Monkey Gone to Heaven. Right before those lyrics he says he’s ‘white like Frank Black is’ - who is the lead singer for the Pixies. Here are the Pixies lyrics - If man is 5, if man is 5 If man is 5, then the devil is 6 Then the devil is 6, then the devil is 6 The devil is 6, and if the devil is 6 Then god is 7, then god is 7 Then god is 7
Since they reference it in this song, yall should check out The Pixies “This Monkeys Gone to Heaven”. Their lead singer is Frank Black, the guy he mentions at one point.
The Ballad of Chasey Lain is a must hear from BHG...
Been saying this for months!!
Three point one four
This needs to be done ASAP.
I'd like to piggyback off of that and add A Lapdance Is So Much Better When The Stripper Is Crying
@@vegasviking86 I'm gonna second that one. It's one of my favorite from them.
Context also comes into play here. When BHG hit it big, the music scene was drowning in the sorrows of grunge, most popular music at this time was depressing as fuck, and these guys brought some smiles back
Depends on what you were listening to. Soul Coughing, Green Day, the Pixies, Rob Zombie, etc were all around at this point.
@@billhicks6449 Just referring to what the tv, media, labels were selling the most of at this period. Creed were king, after all during this period.
@@kikiki4592 true enough.
Grunge isn't depressing.
@@Ka0s I hate myself and I want to die is inspirational and happy, I guess? LMAO, GTFO.
My personal favourite's are "Three Point One Four" and "A Lap Dance Is So Much Better When The Stripper Is Crying" but they have so many great songs.
I'd love to see a reaction to "three point one four" 😄
The album intro for "three point one four" was too funny "Hello mother dear!"
"Lapdance..." is such a simple but funny song. 2 mates of mine sung it at a bar on a karaoke night. It was a semi-trendy bar full of beyonce and dance music fans.
The reaction was priceless!!!!!! BHG would have been soo proud.
Don't request "Lap Dance" ... 🤣🤣🤣 I don't know if they could handle it!
That night i lost myself to ruby red lips, milky white skin and baby blue eyes. Name was russel...
Has to be 'The Ballad of Chasey Laine' next!
And very very late this one: "A Lap Dance Is So Much Better When The Stripper Is Crying"
I concour!
This!
Been saying this for months!! LFG
@@corneliusantonius3108 Almost feel this should go before "The Ballad of Chasey Laine"
I think he is an absolute genius with writing song lyrics. They are timeless. And always hilarious
6:00 - GOTCHA!!! xD
Also, the line "this monkey's going to heaven" is a reference to a song called "Monkey Gone To Heaven" from a band called Pixies, which you should definitely react to. They were one of the most important bands in the late 80's-early 90's Alternative Rock scene. : )
This is the radio-friendly version. In the album version, the lyric is, "This honkey's gone to Heaven."
hence the Frank Black ref.
Anything but 'Here Comes Your Man', everyone recommends it but it is their sucky pop song
It looked like Brad was really questioning his recent life choices.
" a lap dance is so much better when the stripper is crying" is a MUST 😂😂😂😂
I am HOPING that they would watch that song.
"Why's Everybody Always Pickin' on Me?" is far from serious, but it's the closest thing I can think of to a Bloodhound Gang hit. It actually got a fair amount of alternative radio play back in the day, which is pretty amazing considering its biggest lyrical hook is a guy shouting "THE DRUMMER FROM DEF LEPPARD'S ONLY GOT ONE ARM!"

What about The Bad Touch ? Hit wise
Closest thing to a hit? Bloodhound Gang had like a dozen MAJOR hits!!
They were played everywhere for ages!
Loved this song in 1997 when I was 14 and a freshman in high school, still do.
In regards to the 'what did their parents think' .. on one of the albums there is even a segment where Jimmy Pop calls his mom and asks for help finding a word that rhymes with vag...
The whole album "One Fierce Beer Coaster" is a trip. I'm sure you could spend weeks on this album alone. Some of it is not for the faint of heart.
Pretty When I'm Drunk is well worth checking out, funny for sure but it's all done human best box style so actually really impressive
I love pretty when drunk. Classic
They do a cover of Along Comes Mary that they are able to turn into their own killer version while staying out of their typical lane, if you will. It's worth a check out.
haven't seen that til now. awesome tnx
Hell, most people dont know the original...and there is a badass live version of the original out there.
They are kind of self-parody band. My fav song-title is "I wish I was queer so I could get chicks"...
kinda correlates with modern women lolll
Finally someone’s done Fire Water Burn! Hahahaha
@6:38 THIS! That is the best way to not only describe Bloodhound Gang but many other comedic yet talented bands like Weird Al, Tenacious D Neckrogoblikon, and the legends Steel Panther!
On a separate tip tho, Bloodhound Gang should be in at least a semi weekly rotation, they have so many other gems in their sophomoric library of education! Cheers fam!
The roof is on fire...we don't need no water...let the motherf***** burn!!! Great song!!
I know Lex believes this is a reference to that line, but is it not the origin of that line?
Brad’s face watching this should be a meme
non-silly bloodhound gang only exists in their cover songs. They usually have one cover song per album. They only released one music video for one of these covers and that is for Along Comes Mary.
Usually not a fan of radio-edit censorship, but that damn donkey sound effect kills me every time.
tbh it should have been the real version.... that donkey was a staple of my radio dial in the 90s
Same.
Not hearing mother fucker really jarred me
@@BensSoZen really does ruin the song
Aqua teen hunger force used fart sounds to censor the curse words which was infinitely more funny than the standard bleep.
Metalacolypse fittingly used guitar chords scratching to censor their cursing.
One of my favorite songs of their's that I've heard is Kiss Me Where It Smells Funny. Lex has one of the most beautiful smiles!
This, The Offspring, Limp Biscuit, Papa Roach and german Punk was the stuff my freinds and I were listening to when we were 14-15.
Their episode on LoveLine back in the day was awesome. I love this song.
Lex- you’re spot on. It brings me back to 6th grade. ‘Webster, yeah Emmanuel Lewis because he’s the antichrist.’
You need to do The Ballad of Chasey Lain! Now that will make Brad smile 4 sure!
Still have this C.D. in my car stereo. I forgot about it for years and accidentally played my C.D. player. What a treat! Love the reaction!
Like Han Solo always stroking my own Wookie! LOL
CKY "96 Quite Bitter Beings" is a must
Bloodhound gang made their music the way it is to try and make their friends laugh
There sense of humor is second to none. Every band either did a song in a prison or the crazy groups did it in a mental institution. Blood hound gang did it In a retirement home! Gotta love it!
I loved this song as a kid, the uncensored version's F words just hit different.
I look forward to the days when we can enjoy the f word in peace
My loves... this is what the fun reactions are about!!!!!!!
Asleep at the Wheel off One Fierce Beer Coaster is one that’s not silly
BHG Uhn Tiss is a good one too. Fun, good beat, and innuendo.
This song is classic.

Oh damn I'd love to see them react to Pixies, or The Violent Femmes.
Yeah also they mention Frank Black from The Pixies just before they make the song reference.
@@RSpracticalshooting I came to this comment to comment this lol
My first choice
“hey” pixies
“Kiss Off” - violent femmes
The UK Surf version of Wave of Mutilation would be great...UMass would be my second choice. Hopefully that will lead them over to the Modest Mouse end of the pool a little bit too.
@@Gekokujo76 would love to see some Modest Mouse reactions. There’s no good ones on Yt.
And good grief not “Float On”
Gotta remember Jimmy Pop hung out with the original Jackass gang... That alone should tell you where the maturity level is...
I did not know there was a Pixies reference in this song! 3:56
I had (Still have) this album and I'm thinking real hard about this... I don't think they had any songs that weren't silly. Pretty much all of them were filled to the brim with innuendo. They did it well though!
Underrated band! Great songwriters when it came to clever lyrics and hooks
The cleverist lyrics
My favorite song of theirs is Along Comes Mary. It's the last track on Hooray For Boobies. It's pretty heavy, and it's one of their more serious songs. The video has comedy in it though.
I can't hear that song without fully imagining the gay roller skating scene from CKY where dunn breaks his wrist at the end. RIP Random Hero.
I love watching people reacting now to stuff that I listened to back in the day that was hot and kewl and all my friends would sing with but is considered old now out dated to us and yall bring it back and make us feel young again and wanna go out and do something stupid while jamming to it like we did back when we was young and stupid.
(Brad every day): "I'm forever grateful for this ray of sunshine that is Lex in my life!"
From the Same album as this song ( One Fierce Beer Coaster) they did one called BOOM which is kind of a battle rap between them and Rob Van Winkle better known as Vanilla Ice.
lex, that reference to the child in side was amazing and makes so much sense.
I love BHG and their irreverence and the path away of the overcrowded more commercial music that populates the charts these days, this took me back and reminded me of the Roxbury guys and the Jim Carrey sketch for the SNL (Haddaway - What is love) that turned into a meme that to this day still kills me every time xD
Dude looks like he has PTSD through most of the song. Love the Florida Man T though
You have to search uncensored any time you listen to bloodhound gang.
I still say brad has the sense of humor of a turnip!!
He doesn't seem to be able to just enjoy the music. A song doesn't have to be "serious" to be excellent music.
The opposite of Lex
This was a big song for a local band doing college party's. Good times! Lmao *memories*
Man, I haven't heard this song in at least 20 years! What a blast!
OMG!!! We heard this for the first time last week in the car!!! Thought it was awesome:-)
This band was a moment in time.
It slipped in between all the serious ridiculous main stream.
When he says "I'm not black like Barry White, no I am white like Frank Black is", he's referencing Frank Black (a.k.a. Black Francis), the frontman of the Pixies. The next few lines reference their song "Monkey Gone To Heaven", which is a great song itself.
It still takes talent and skill to create a silly song as it does to make a serious song.... hell weird Al been doing it for years lol. BHG does grow on ya 👍🤣🤣🤣🤘😎🤘
Really good description of their music. Following.
It's crazy that this song put them on the map. it's one of those, you had to be there , moments.
Lex, where did you find this block of wood? 😆😭😆😭
Watching the local gang house go up in flames yesterday, this song went though my head.
Bloodhound Gang was one of the most lit concerts I've been to. It was crazy!
Every single night in the clubs in the 90s this was played :) Good times.
Brad's facial expression is like "Why am I wasting 10 min of my life on this"
Two serious songs I can name off the top of a my head ''Something Diabolical'' featuring HIM and ''Boom'' featuring Vanilla Ice
They rarely do serious songs but when they do they hit hard
Great point Lex! About the music being more for adults wanting to feel or act young again...
Serious songs aren't really their lane 😆 but I'd say Jimmy does sneak some real bars in songs like Boom, and lyrically I think Asleep at the Wheel is slept on.
The bars in 'Shut up' tho!
@@MW-cx3sb yep Shut Up is 😂
Asleep At The Wheel is dope.
BOOM ft Rob Van Winkle (yeah Vanilla Ice himself) and Asleep at the Wheel is criminally overlooked.
I'm almost 30 years old and I always wondered where the roof is on fire thing came from, watching your reaction video in 2022 I now know it's these guys lol
The video for "Mope" is ahead of it's time for memes.
“Kiss Me Where it Smells Funny” is the best
Boom is kinda serious. The one about falling asleep at the wheel is kinda serious
And it features Vanilla Ice. Can't go wrong.
It is still satire, it is just a harder feel instead if being lighthearted.
'Something Diabolical' is the ONLY serious Bloodhound Gang song that I'm aware of.
It's great.
I love Lex's reactions just a big smile through the whole song haha so cute 😄
Hung like planet pluto lol
With amazing word play such as “I’m hung like planet Pluto, hard to see with the naked eye and if I crashed into Uranus I would stick it where the sun don’t shine” Jimmy Pop is an underrated song writer.
Genuinely good band.
Mama's boy on the album Hooray for Boobies will tell you how his momma reacts.
they were bigger in europe then in the US, they did alot, of tours in europe and became one of the coolest american bands here on the old continent, thanks America for bringing us the bloodhoundgang
The roof the roof the roof on fire was taken from late 80s hip hop. It was used so much I can't remember who started it.
I remember back in the day Howard Stern used to brag that the lead singer was an intern for his show for 1 day before his record deal got signed ... and now for my daily request .. please review The Decemberists "The Crane Wife" "Yankee Bayonet" "The Infanta" or " The Mariner's Revenge Song"
1000x yes to The Decemberists! My favorite band of all time.
Jimmy did get a internship with him, and got the deal at the same time and if I recal went in for one day, just to say he did it.
Pennsylvania. It's got the highest level of hidden poignancy of any song I've heard. There's a story contained in the song but you have to listen a couple times to extrapolate the backstory
For another funny song check out 'Asshole' by Denis Leary...the official uncensored video version of course 🙃
Dont give Dennis any credit for that song. It was a bit that he stole from Louis C.K.. Never support a joke thief.
No no silly songs from this crowd. That's why I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
His parents know exactly what jimi pop is like. He is like an x rated version of Bam Margera. Must be something in the water in Pennsylvania because both are from there
This is probably the one and only time a censored version is the best version 😂, that donkey sound, hilarious. I remember when this came out, there was a radio station called 93X, 93.7, that had a cagematch where they'd play two songs every night, then everyone would call in and vote on which one was better, this song was the winner for something like 7 or 8 months 😂. Cant remember what finally won and ended the streak, been so long. Now i feel even older then i already did 🤣🤦
Middle school? Nonsense. Silly, yes. These guys are into satire and having fun. They have a huge repertoire. Fun stuff
for non silly check out its tricky
its probably their most metal song too
its actually a really good if short cover
Yall gotta do "Dimes" by BHG...great song
Ya gotta do mope by these guys...was a banger!
Yes!
I just imagined Jimmy Pop going home to his mother and being like Mum I wrote a fucken song you should check it out.
And Mum’s like ‘oh nice Jimmy that’s very creative’
These guys have so many awesome tunes, but I'm sure they've all already been recommended so I'll leave it at that. 😉
The numbers are a reference to a song by the Pixies called Monkey Gone to Heaven. Right before those lyrics he says he’s ‘white like Frank Black is’ - who is the lead singer for the Pixies.
Here are the Pixies lyrics -
If man is 5, if man is 5
If man is 5, then the devil is 6
Then the devil is 6, then the devil is 6
The devil is 6, and if the devil is 6
Then god is 7, then god is 7
Then god is 7
Richard cheese is a must listen to
Love the neon light.
Y’all are badass!!
Check out their track "Boom".
Silly? This is a masterpiece! 🤣🤣🤣
I love that this is the donkey edit version. Best censored version of a song ever.
Some call it silly, others call it horny, I just call it the sound track to my youth.
Skunk Anansie - Weak
check out "Why's Everybody Always Picking on Me"
He said "I'm not old or new, but middle school... fifth grade, like junior high"
Since they reference it in this song, yall should check out The Pixies “This Monkeys Gone to Heaven”. Their lead singer is Frank Black, the guy he mentions at one point.
"This honky's gone to heaven" was one of my favorite reference after the Frank Black reference...
Oh yeah! Been waiting for this one.
