shut up
Bloodhound Gang Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm Jimmy Pop here in a jiffy heat me up and add oil
I'm like a zit a wart a corn a cyst a festering boil
I get under your skin and I sebaceously form
I'm as deep as the plot to an amateur gay porn
Keep ya hungry for more like Bangladesh
Then I'll borg di borg do borg ya like the Swedish Chef
Cause I'm one of a kind and kind of hard to find
Kind of like an Injun without his fire water wine
I'm like Schneider one day at a time
I'm feeling like Bob Vila nailing up your behind
To my wall like Daniel-son does
I'm waxing on I'm waxing off I'm waxing just because
I get wired like a Western Union and I got to be me
And I got more balls than the daily lottery
Like hemorrhoidal itch yo you can't ignore me
Cause I'm more tongue and cheek than a lesbo orgy
And I don't give a damn if you don't like me
Cause' I don't like you cause you're not like me
Second verse is different from the first
I'm Jimmy Pop I am
Jimmity Jimmity Pop I am I am
See my name's not Hoover and I don't give a damn
And I got a different angle like a parallelogram
And you'll be all ears like a field of corn
I'll make you Dizzy like Gillespie as I toot my own horn
Like a No. 2 pencil I always got a point
You'll want to share it with friends like a poorly rolled joint
I'm Jimmy Pop y'all I'm Jimmy Pop y'all I'm an Alka Seltzer that's
right you're a seagull
As I continue to expand your head is gonna burst
Leave a bad taste in your mouth like moldy Liverwurst
Like the Texas Chainsaw Massacre I'll get in your face
But then I'll brush you off like Aqua-Fresh toothpaste
Cause I'm letting off steam like a Chinese Laundromat
But I'm not a roll of Charmin so don't give me no crap
And I don't give a damn if you don't like me
Cause' I don't like you cause you're not like me
I hate a lot of whites and I hate a lot of blacks
I hate poopin' in public places but we all hate that
I hate lesbian feminists because they're all so damn ugly
I hate Spin Magazine cause they never ever plug me
I hate Regis and Kathie Lee
I hate every single movie by that midget Spike Lee
I hate people that think I care what they think
I hate people that think their ass don't stink
I hate Jon Bon Jovi but I hate his music more
I hate killing people because I hate to keep score
I hate you but you hate yourself too
I hate to be honest but I'd hate to be you




And I don't give a damn if you don't like me
Cause' I don't like you cause you're not like me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Bloodhound Gang's song "Shut Up" are about the band's lead-singer, Jimmy Pop, boasting about his uniqueness and challenging those who don't accept him. The lines "I'm like a zit, a wart, a corn, a cyst, a festering boil / I get under your skin and sebaceously form" suggest that Jimmy Pop may not be the most attractive person, but he doesn't care because he's one of a kind. He brags about being different from everyone else and being deep like the plot of an amateur gay porn movie. The reference to Bob Vila nailing someone up is an allusion to the host of This Old House and implies that Jimmy Pop is skilled at DIY projects. The lines "I'm waxing on, I'm waxing off, I'm waxing just because" show that Jimmy Pop is unpredictable and does things for no apparent reason.


The chorus of "I don't give a damn if you don't like me / 'Cause' I don't like you 'cause you're not like me" emphasizes the idea that Jimmy Pop is proud of his unique self and doesn't care about others who don't accept him. The second verse is similar to the first, where Jimmy Pop brags about his different angle like a parallelogram and how he'll make you dizzy like Gillespie as he toots his own horn. He also references a field of corn, a poorly rolled joint, and a Texas Chainsaw Massacre, all of which contribute to the song's randomness.
