Bloodhound Gang “The Bad Touch”
Founded in 1992 by suburban Philadelphia’s Jimmy Pop, the Bloodhound Gang turned a combination of punk rock, rap, pop culture obsession and outrageous comedy into a major label sensation. The band’s second album, 1996’s One Fierce Beer Coaster and its lead single “Fire Water Burn” propelled them to MTV and alternative rock radio, eventually going Gold.
However, it would be the follow-up, 2000’s Hooray For Boobies, that would make them part of the musical firmament. The delirious Euro disco tribute “The Bad Touch” became a worldwide dance smash, topping the US Dance Club chart and becoming a Number One hit in Germany, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Norway and more. Eminem would immortalize the song on “The Real Slim Shady,” the opening single from his Diamond-selling 2000 album The Marshall Mathers LP.
Bloodhound Gang have sold more than six million records worldwide, playing five continents and landing multiple songs on the Alternative Songs chart. Their mix of high-velocity jokes, addictive hooks and inspired cover songs have landed them more than a dozen TV and movie soundtracks, including Half Baked, Scary Movie, Fahrenheit 9/11, Malcolm in the Middle and more.
