It’s another trip into music’s most embarrassing recesses with Broken Records and our search for the worst album ever made in history. This week Steve and Remfry head back to 2005, and pick through the poo and willy-filled world of scatological humour dreamed up by Pennsylvanian frat boy rockers Bloodhound Gang and their 4th album Hefty Fine.
Seems mad to think it by 2021 standards but, way back when, Bloodhound Gang’s mix of bratty hip hop, pop punk, 80’s synths and deliberately politically incorrect humour actually became something of a mainstream hit. Their atrociously named 1999 album Hooray For Boobies featured a couple of legit anthems in the shape of The Bad Touch and The Ballad of Chasey Lain, and even though they just appeared to be obsessed with cocks, fannies, breasts and faeces, Bloodhound Gang managed to score a platinum album in the US and a number one position on the German album charts. MAD! You’d think, what with the TBG coming across as a bunch who were slightly more knowing and self aware than their music suggested, that a follow up to that album would arrive swiftly, to capitalise on what could surely only be 15 minutes of fame. But, no. In fact it was six long years before they returned with new material, in the shape of this confusing and deeply unfunny 35 minute long record. Face it lads, you blew harder than “Yo mama blows ma weenie”! (See, this shit is so easy!)
