    Their music is catchy, and their lyrics are creative and clever. But I remember when I first heard this song and started looking up other songs (ahoy!), and I remember thinking, “Huh, this song is also about fuckin’…and so is this song…”

    I realized that 90% of their songs are about fucking. Sure, a lot of music is about that, but these guys aren’t couching it terms of “making love” or poeticizing or romanticizing it. That’s fine for some people, but I found it frankly obnoxious. I feel like can’t listen to them with anyone else around - I have kids, and conservative family (not me obviously) and adult friends that aren’t in junior high. I mean I have no problem playing Warrant, AC/DC, Metallica, or Korn around my kids but something about Bloodhound Gang makes me uncomfortable.

    They have a few songs that aren’t explicitly about fucking - Ralph Wiggum is pretty cool.
