The band originated in 2005 from a song titled "The Kids" that Aron Erlichman (Deuce) and Jorel Decker (J-Dog) posted on the band's MySpace profile to positive reviews, leading them to form the group Hollywood Undead with their friends "Shady" Jeff Philips, George Ragan (Johnny 3 Tears), Jordon Terrell (Charlie Scene), Dylan Alvarez (Funny Man), and Matthew St. Claire (Da Kurlzz). In an interview with Shave magazine, J-Dog explained that when forming the band "Whoever was in the room at the time and played an instrument was in the band."
The band only took one year working on their debut album, Swan Songs. The other two years were spent looking for a company that wouldn't try to censor the album.

Bitches, I hope you know
Bitches, I hope you know
Bitches, I hope you know
I won't stop till I hit that hoe
Baby, come say hello
And get your drunk ass over here, let's bone
Bitches, I hope you know
I won't stop till I hit that hoe
Shorty, come say hello
And get your drunk ass over here, let's bone
Funny Man:
Yo, I'm up in the club and the party's jumping
Bitches passing by and they're eyeball fucking
I'm drinking Cristal, now they're trying to kiss me
Saying, "Funny Man, can you sign my titties?"
Now I got four bitches in the back of my Rover
The Fantastic Four saying, "Funny, can I blow ya?"
Three were preppy and one was scene
So three for me, and one for Charlie
Charlie Scene:
This girl's seventeen, now I'm a pedophile
Now she's showing me her tits, I think this girl's gone wild
I whipped out my dick and her jaw hit the floor
Acting like she'd never seen a magnum before (Charlie!)
Turn off the lights and now I'm gonna film it
Turn on the night vision, like she's Paris Hilton
Funny Man walked in and said, "Chupa mi pito."
And she munched on this dick like a macho burrito, fuck yeah
Deuce:
Bitches, I hope you know
I won't stop till I hit that hoe

And grab a taxi, get in the back seat
Fuck, suck, dick, lick, man, we nasty
Drive fast, please, 'cause this booze is not lasting
One too many shots and I seem to be passing
I think this chick is down, yah, she's down for the threesome
I called the homie J just to see if he needs some
J-Dog:
Ju-ju-just got back coming from the bar
Rubbing on this chicky's titties in the back of her car
But, but your first mistake, you said you liked my band
The second one's you put my undead dick in your hand
And I'm taking secret pics on my cellular phone
I got my fingers in places where they don't belong
Horny as fuck, pressing my luck, need my dick sucked
So, bitch, give it up (yeah)
Deuce:
Bitches, I hope you know
I won't stop till I hit that hoe
Baby, come say hello
And get your drunk ass over here, let's bone
Bitches, I hope you know
I won't stop till I hit that hoe
Shorty, come say hello
And get your drunk ass over here, let's bone
Lets both get faded, 'cause you know that I want you
Lets both get naked, girl, you know that you want to
Baby, we can have a party tonight
I wanna hit it, 'cause I know that it's tight
Baby, we can have a party tonight
I wanna hit it all night, all night, all night, all night
Bitches, I hope you know
I won't stop till I hit that hoe

@dauntedhornet6663
This band is so great, even if all thier songs are about sex and drinking. They don’t even show their faces and people still love them
@chloegalloway2603
they do show their faces, lmfao, and they have a lot of meaningful songs that aren’t about sex and drinking
@harrisbadalandabad6257
This is my favorite HU song. The chorus is dope, and each member has a sick verse. It’s one of those things where this couldn’t be made today and it represents the time it was recorded
@venerakalinina2447
This is my favorite HU song too and I think it's highly under rated.
@danielgetty9801
I personally love California but the whole album is dope and i really miss duece
