A lot of people see the Bloodhound Gang's music as naïve and only for 12-year olds. I think to a certain extent this is very true, but there are some good selections and more than enough quotes to please the average 13-20 year old. Yes, their music is sick, twisted, and sexist. But come on... who really gives a ...? If you liked the song "The Bad Touch", there is no question you'll appreciate this album. Their lyrics are carefree and utterly ineffectual for anyone dying to find themselves. But if you want some good rock-rap music with hilarious lyrics to calm you down, then Hooray For Boobies is definitely for you. Here's an overview of the 18 tracks:I Hope You Die - The way the band tied the beginning and the end together made this song somewhat enjoyable. But overall, there is really nothing special within the song. Nevertheless, the quote `I hope he grins like Jack Nicholson / and forces you to play a game called "balls on chin"' is noteworthy.
The Inevitable Return Of The Great White Dope - Unlike track one, there's not much here to make this notable. The only thing that really stands out is the background music and the title.
Mama's Boy (skit) - This is a pretty funny skit that finds B Gang singer Jimmy Pop having a telephone conversation with his mother. I'm not sure if it is actually his mom, but it acts as a perfect introduction to...
Three Point One Four - My second favorite song on the CD. It's very funny and catchy, but the fact that there are only two words that rhyme with `vagina' make it middling in the end. Still, comparing women to dog doo and the final, melodic chants of 'vagina' are awesome.
Mope - There's really no rock in this song; it's mainly rap. The "Rock Me Amadeus", Pac-Man, and Frankie Goes To Hollywood take-offs are worth your time. But after a few listens it becomes annoying.
Yummy Down On This - Here is my favorite track on Hooray For Boobies. I'm not sure why I enjoy it so much, but the never-ending list of metaphors and appalling quotes make it excessively hilarious. Take note of this quote: `you can fondle but it's kind of like McDonald's realize it's / just a happy meal so you can't supper-size it'. This is the greatest portrayal of the Bloodhound Gang.
The Ballad Of Chasey Lain - I have a hard to taking pleasure in this song. It's basically an ode to the infamous porno star Chasey Lain. For the band, the lyrics are too simplistic and basic.
R.S.V.P. (skit) - A 15-second outro to track seven. It's too short to hate, but it's too sick to enjoy.
Magna Cum Nada - This one features more citations ranging anywhere from the book `Catcher In The Rye' to the TV show Seinfeld. It mixes a lot of rock with a little rap; overall it doesn't amount to much.
The Bad Touch - Hand's down, this is the Bloodhound Gang's most popular song. It does it all: gives us great bits of comedy, danceable-to beats, and of course... more excellent quotes. This is probably my third favorite track on the CD. The only reason it's not higher is because the chorus is repeated too many times.
The Cough Came With A Prize (skit) - Be sure to skip this one.
Take The Long Way Home - This time around, the chorus acts as the highlight of the song. The line `life is an aimless drive that ya take alone / might as well enjoy the ride / take the long way home' is actually smart (for the Bloodhound Gang).
Hell Yeah - Here's one of those "if I was God..."-type songs. Again, there are well-chosen excerpts--but--again, the song is nothing too special.
Right Turn Clyde - The way the words are molded into the music in this song is terrible. I think, musically, this is one of the worst songs on the album. But even so, kudos to the Pink Floyd song take-off ("Another Brick In The Wall [part 2]").
This Is Stupid (skit) - A church choir--um, ah--wait... you know what, the title says it all.
A Lap Dance Is So Much Better When The Stripper Is Crying - This song has a `Red Peters versus country' feel to it. It's unlike anything else on the album; and therefore it might do something for you. I don't really enjoy it, but it has its high points.
The Ten Coolest Things About New Jersey (skit) - The best skit on the CD. You have to hear it to believe it. I guess (sarcastic) New Jersey is awesome after all.
Along Come Mary - Finally, an epic cover song. After tracks six, four and ten, this is the next best song. I really like this song because it's straight-up rock; which is something I think the Bloodhound Gang should do more of. The background "Mary Mary" chants are exceptional as well. It's better than the "It's Tricky" cover, really.
Track 47 ("Hooray For Boobies") - We could've done without this bonus, but it doesn't at all take away from the CD's prominence. It's actually quite funny.
One of the most obvious things in the world is the fact that the Bloodhound Gang are not for everyone. In fact, most people probably despise them. Their jokes are not subtle, yet too many people tend to overlook and/or don't comprehend them. Even though "The Bad Touch" is what got me, along with many others, into this band, I was still able to find more bright spots within this CD. You know what kind of person you are. And if you're THIS type of person, then certainly buy this album.

Oh my god! I laughed so loud when i first heard this i almost couldn't stand it. Compared to their earlier works ("Use Your Fingers","One Feirce Beer Coaster") this is a masterpiece. Tracks like the obvisouly well thought out (LOL) "Ballad Of Chasey Lane" or the irratatingly good "A Lap Dance Is So Much Better When The Stripper Is Crying" make it a nonstop laugh out loud fest. Expect some very different tracks like "Hell Yeah" and "Mope", but don't forget the classics like "The Bad Touch" and "10 Coolest Things About New Jersey". Some of the skits are very different "That Cough Came With A Prize" is so nasty sounding you'll laugh, and the bonus track (after about 20 silent tracks) is the out takes from making some of the tracks (this is hilariously good). I highly recommend this one for some big laughs and plain out good fun times! I also recommend the following if you wanna laugh for awhile:"The Good Times" by Afroman
"Tenacious D" by Tenacious D
"Use Your Fingers" by The Bloodhound Gang
"One Feirce Beer Coaster" by The Bloodhound Gang
"The Bathroom Wall" by Jimmy Fallon

The Bloodhound Gang has really put out their greatest alblum in "Hooray For Boobies". Almost every song is a classic. Personally I think the best track is "A Lap Dance Is So Much Better When The Stripper Is Crying". Yes the guys are rude and crude, but thats what makes them so great. So if you have a warped wild sense of humor this is a must have for your collection. BUY IT NOW!!!Free Music Review: Why?

Why do I like this cd? It is hard to say. Usualy I do not like juvenile humor or penile pranks. But in this case...Maybe it is that that The Bloodhound gang do it all with a certain charm and a good dose of self-irony.
Down to business. The musical side of the album is actualy very good and wellproduced. The guys got a knack for creating catchy tunes and hilarious (or revolting, depending on who you are) lyrics. We got songs like I Hope You Die and the terrible country-parody A Lap Dance is So Much Better When the Stripper is Crying (gasp). We also find samples of Falco and Pink Floyd(Though I think Pink Floyd got Right Turn Clyde removed, at least on the European version). We also see a lovesong/hymn to X-rated movie star Chasey Lain.
The Bloodhound Gang got absolutely no respect for anything, and nothing is sacred to them, but they do it all with an ironic wink in their eye. And that makes the whole album digestable.
All in all I would say this is their best album to date.
