The group released their self-titled debut album on Atlantic Records in 2003. Rob Werthner (vocalist/songwriter/frontman) formed the band back in the 1990s with bassist Luis Espaillat and drummer Kory Knipp. With many musical influences (including the Bloodhound Gang, Eminem, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Limp Bizkit), he came up with plenty of songs with funky beats and lyrics about sex.
The name of the band comes from the irreverent nickname that Werthner gave the boyfriend of his ex-girlfriend after she and Werthner broke up in the early '90s. He was an NYPD officer with a feathery out-of-date haircut.
Their song 'Fever for the Flava' was featured on the soundtrack of a few films, most notably the American Wedding and Grind soundtracks (as well as appearing in episodes of the shows King of the Hill and The Man Show); a version with custom lyrics (about cars instead of sex) appeared in Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit 2.

Hot Action Cop Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ya might find somebody to love you,
Yeah,
Kinda like ya momma,
Or ya grandmamma watchin' above you,
Ooh yeah,
I hope that you stay for the night,
I've made the bed and I've saved your side,
Bring me to the light,
Until the sunshine opens my eyes,
Wait with a smile and I'll,
See you in a little while?
They say that I've changed,
Since I've been livin' without you,
Yeah,
I can't stay in one place,
The memories they chase me,
Around the room,
I planted a shade tree,
And I lay there thinkin' about you,
Yeah,
The leaves fall around me,
I'd love to blow away with them,
If I could,
Sometimes you win,
Sometimes you don't,
Ride my landslide,
Out with the tide,
You ain't goin' nowhere,
If ya goin' there alone,
Hold me over,
The next flight to mine,
Here with a smile and I'll,
I'll see you in a little while?
I used to waste my sweet time,
Till you arrived,
Now I don't know how I'll spend my time alive,
When it's over,
All said and done,
Bags packed,
Tags checked,
Front of the line,
I lay in clover under the sun,
Lift my eyes up to the sky,
And smile,
Cause I'll,
I'll see you in a little while,
I'll see you in a little while,
I'll see you in a little while?

Once in a good while,
Occasionally, you may stumble upon someone who genuinely loves you
Ya might find somebody to love you,
There's a chance someone could fall for you
Kinda like ya momma,
Similar to the unconditional love shown by a mother
Or ya grandmamma watchin' above you,
Or like the guidance and care provided by a grandmother from the heavens
Ooh yeah,
Expressing excitement and enthusiasm
I hope that you stay for the night,
I desire for you to remain with me for the night
I've made the bed and I've saved your side,
I've prepared the bed, including your side, for your comfort
Make me over,
Revitalize me
Bring me to the light,
Guide me towards positivity and joy
Until the sunshine opens my eyes,
Until the bright and optimistic sunlight awakens me
Wait with a smile and I'll,
Wait patiently and optimistically for you
See you in a little while?
Will I be able to see you again soon?
They say that I've changed,
People claim that I'm different now
Since I've been livin' without you,
Since I've been existing without your presence
I can't stay in one place,
I can't remain stationary
The memories they chase me,
My memories relentlessly follow me
Around the room,
Around the physical space I'm in
I planted a shade tree,
I've cultivated and grown a protective tree
And I lay there thinkin' about you,
I lay there, contemplating thoughts of you
The leaves fall around me,
The leaves surrounding me begin to descend
I'd love to blow away with them,
I'd relish the chance to be carried away by the falling leaves
If I could,
If only it were possible
Sometimes you win,
Occasionally, you are victorious
Sometimes you don't,
At other times, you aren't
Ride my landslide,
Join me on my journey, even if it's tumultuous
Out with the tide,
Be swept away by the current, with me
You ain't goin' nowhere,
You won't be heading elsewhere
If ya goin' there alone,
Unless you're going there by yourself
Hold me over,
Carry me through
The next flight to mine,
The next flight headed towards me
Here with a smile and I'll,
If you're here, happy and willing
I'll see you in a little while?
Will I be capable of seeing you again soon?
I used to waste my sweet time,
I formerly squandered my valuable time
Till you arrived,
Until you came along
Now I don't know how I'll spend my time alive,
I'm unclear how to pass the time without you
When it's over,
When life has come to a conclusion
All said and done,
After everything has been completed and concluded
Bags packed,
Luggage prepared
Tags checked,
Luggage tag contents verified
Front of the line,
At the front of the queue
I lay in clover under the sun,
I relax among the clovers, basking in the sunshine
Lift my eyes up to the sky,
I raise my gaze towards the heavens
And smile,
With a grin on my face
Cause I'll,
Because I will
I'll see you in a little while,
I will apprehend a glimpse of you shortly
I'll see you in a little while,
I will apprehend a glimpse of you shortly
I'll see you in a little while?
Will I be capable of seeing you again soon?
