Their 1995 first official studio album, Use Your Fingers, broke them into the mainstream. They have toured constantly. The band is perhaps now best known for their 1999 dance music satire "The Bad Touch" (a top 40 hit in multiple nations such as Australia, Norway, Sweden, and more) and their 2005 pop punk / power pop track "Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo" (also a European hit), along with their 1996 breakthrough song "Fire Water Burn".
Their fifth and final studio album, Hard-Off, was released on December 18, 2015 via bandleader Jimmy Pop's label Jimmy Franks Recording Company.
In an interview with the German site Promiflash at the end of 2017, Bass player Jared Hennegan stated that the band had broken up in 2013 after the Ukraine and Russia incidents. In July 2023, Jimmy Pop said that he was still working on making Bloodhound Gang music and that the band has not broken up.

Bloodhound Gang Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hi, Jim, what are you doin'?
I am trying to think of words that rhyme with vagina
Oh, lima? Like lima beans
How about that, that teenage witch, Sabina
No, that's a made up word, Jim
What don't you change the word vagina to something else
Like box or pussy or cunt, no Jim}
In this song, Bloodhound Gang is depicting a conversation between two individuals, Frank and Jim, who are trying to come up with words that rhyme with "vagina." It is clear from the conversation that Jim is struggling to find words that match with the given word, and he is getting creative by suggesting names like Sabina but is being criticized by Frank. Then, Jim suggests vulgar words like "box, pussy or cunt," which are not suitable replacements for a public setting.
The song highlights how people use vulgar and obscene language when they can't find the right words to express themselves. It also shows how people can struggle with finding the right words, even when it is not a good idea to use vulgar language. The song is humorous but also serves as a commentary on how language can be used inappropriately, even in casual conversations.

@@TANQ31 I understand where you're coming from, but I think if you look for it, you can still find a lot of good modern music.
Nowadays, thanks to the internet, pop culture is a all you can eat buffet. You can find anything you like and find likeminded people to share stuff with.
Back in the 80s and 90s things weren't all that great either. It was a hand full of bald, 40 year old gatekeepers sitting in some office building in LA or NYC, who decided for the whole world what music we kids would get to hear.
Searching out stuff outside of the mainstream was pretty hard and tedious and the mainstream was relentless. There are songs from the 90s that still give me PTSD like symptoms when I hear them today, because they were played so much on the radio and MTV and other music channels that I'm still sick of them till today.
"Black Holed Sun" from Sound Garden is one such example. It objectively is a very good song and it has become a classic and again, objectively I understand why, but subjectively I hate it, because it feels like it was playing 100 times a day on the radio and MTV for what felt like a year or so in my memory.
What I'll say now is very controversial and many people would be outraged when reading it, but I genuinely think that many of the mega stars from the 80s and 90s were only so successful because they were rammed down everyone's throat for decades.
I genuinely think if people like Madonna or Michael Jackson would start their careers nowadays, in the modern music business where people actually can chose what they like to hear freely, they would never have become mega stars.
Back then you just didn't have much choice.
Somebody decided "this is hot right now!" and then the business force fed it to the masses.
Long story short, not everything was as great back then as it might look through the pink nostalgia goggles and not everything today is bad, just because it is different from what we were used to from our childhood.
