Hooray for Boobies is the Bloodhound Gang’s third studio album.
Originally released on 4th October 1999 in the US, it was produced by Jimmy Pop and Richard Gavalis. Celebrating the album’s 25th anniversary, it will be reissued on splatter-coloured 180g vinyl.
A huge commercial success, the album has sold in excess of 4 million copies worldwide and accelerated the band into the mainstream public’s consciousness. The album peaked at number 14 on the US Billboard 200 chart, and achieved number one status in Germany, Australia, and Austria.
Hooray For Boobies features five singles: “Along Comes Mary”, “The Bad Touch”, “The Ballad of Chasey Lain”, “Mope”, and “The Inevitable Return of the Great White Dope”. “The Bad Touch” was a huge international hit, reaching number one in five countries as well as top 20 in a further 10 countries.
The album features various skits in between songs. The first of these skits, entitled “Mama’s Boy” is an impromptu phone conversation between Jimmy Pop and his mother. “That Cough Came With A Prize” features 15 seconds of coughing. “This Is Stupid” is an arbitrary track performed by the vocal duo who feature in “Right Turn Clyde.” “R.S.V.P.” features a short monologue from adult actress Chasey Lain. Finally, “The Ten Coolest Things About New Jersey” is simply ten seconds of silence!
The anniversary tracklisting also includes three rare remixes: The Bad Touch (Eiffel 65 Remix), The Ballad Of Chasey Lain (The Flirt Mix), Mope (The Pet Shop Boys Extended Remix).
