"Like my scrotum, here it is in a nutshell," say the Bloodhound Gang. If you
think Howard Stern is a veritable genius, you'll really LOVE these guys. They
don't quote Rilke as much as I'd like, but I must admit to a certain
toe-tapping as these tunes unfold in obnoxious glee. The warning label on the
jewel case says "Extremely Offensive Material," but as someone who was weaned
on "Crippled Children Suck" by the Meatmen and "They Saved Hitler's C--k" by
the Angry Samoans among other examples of inspired midwestern stoopidity and
offensiveness, I find a chorus like "I need to find a new vagina," to be a
tad mild and actually poignant by comparison. These are young men with many
conflicting emotions. They probably weren't nurtured as children. They yearn
for the love and support so unfortunately denied and in turn lash out against
those who could help them most. "A Lap Dance Is So Much Better When The
Stripper is Crying" is really nothing more than an urgent cry for help. And
insulting New Jersey? Man, that's TOO easy.
SOUNDS LIKE: Howard Stern, The Meatmen, Angry Samoans
