Hooray for Boobies
Sophomoric but occasionally amusing, the Bloodhound Gang's third outing serves up a dash ofCake, a sprinkling ofBlink 182, and heavy doses of metal, hip-hop, and techno. And that's not even mentioning thePink Floydrip andFalcosample! Underneath the juvenile, jokey lyrics ("It's hard to rhyme a word like vagina") and cheap chortles (the faux-country "A Lap Dance Is So Much Better When the Stripper Is Crying" being one prime example) are a few memorable melodies. "The Bad Touch" is a catchy, sample-heavy, danceable sex song that name-checks numerous pop-culture touchstones, from Waffle House to the Discovery Channel.MetallicaandFrankie Goes to Hollywoodsamples meld in the rap-metal "Mope." An ode to adult film actress Chasey Lain is yet another perverse novelty entry on this schtick-a-song offering. Yes, there are some guilty chuckles to be found here, but ultimately this 18-track outing is only truly titillating if you're 12--or act like you are.--Katherine Turman
