And in a darkened room somewhere in America, Todd stops the video, swears, opens his laptop and deletes his half finished One Hit Wonderland script...

[@ronstoppable5659]

On another note, after binge listening to their early albums and looking up their chart history, I just realized that Taking Back Sunday technically qualifies for a OHW episode, I wonder if Todd would be Up for that

[@pawnhearts8785]

Derek and the Dominos are also a One Hit Wonder

[@CrashThompson]

See, I don't think they count. This probably didn't get high enough to count as a hit and they had other minor "hits" outside of this. Granted I don't think anyone would mind seeing that episode... But like I said in this video, I wouldn't encourage a lot of y'all to dig into these guys back catalog. :S

[@Jayfive276]

Crash Thompson this was a big hit here in the U.K. Song still gets played out in bars and clubs as far as I know. Not surprising it was top ten all over Europe considering its a massive pastiche of 80s euro-dance. I reckon it owes a specific debt to “boys” by Sabrina. Also There’s one hell of a weird through-line as I mostly know that sampled pet shop boys song as the theme tune to the BBC’s “The Clothes Show” - clips on YT of that should show you why it’s weird to go from that to BHG in 2 steps 🤣

[@kylejones8289]

@@CrashThompson He just covered "I Melt With You" which did even worse than this did on the charts, as well as "Mexican Radio" which was comparable to this in terms of chart success. And he covered bands that had minor hits after the first one that just aren't very well remembered, like Falco and Men Without Hats. He probably would count this, but it does technically break a lot of his rules, although he's broken those rules before, and he has refused to cover acts like Modest Mouse and Dropkick Murphys that technically meet his rules but that he doesn't feel are one hit wonders in spirit (and I'm pretty sure that he wouldn't do an episode on Jimmy Hendrix despite the fact that Jimmy Hendrix technically meets his general rules). I think that he would be willing to do it especially if he became broke again and did Patreon requests, but who knows.

[@HarryTheMagmatic]

One thing worth noting about The Ballad of Chasey Lain - it's immediately followed by an interlude where Chasey Lain herself quips about how she'd rather do all sorts of horrible things to herself than take the guy up on his offer. So, I'm fairly certain she was in on the joke. Great video, BTW.

[@tawdryhepburn4686]

She also appears in the video. But she was only contacted AFTER the song was recorded.

[@thetonytaye]

12:23 Fun fact: BMX XXX was the game that introduced me to Green Day’s ‘Basket Case’, which in turn inadvertently got me to check out their discography, which then got me to check out more music. So some smutty game about chicks riding bikes naked got me into music.

I'm pretty sure the reason why most people don't realise this song uses a sample is that the overlap between "Pet Shop Boys B Side listener" and "Loves listening to The Bad Touch" is basically 5 people

[@redder_]

The lyrics in this song are weirdly intelligent on how well they flow

[@xandersthoughts]

"Mope" might be their most pro-ironic post-modern meme shitpost of a song, and an expensive one at that. Sampling "Rock Me Amadeus," Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Metallica, the Pac-Man theme, and a Simpsons quote, I'm sure their label wasn't too pleased with those royalty payouts. This is the end result of a brief deep dive into... whatever this band is. And I've heard this song on the rock radio station here where I live for about 15 years, never knew who did it or the name of the song until this video. That's when I went "OHHHHHHHHHhhhhh that's who did it" so thank you Crash. I think?

[@eliasmg9144]

Mope is like their second song I can genuinely enjoy, but even then I'd rather listen to the stuff they're sampling

[@eliasmg9144]

Well, maybe not everything considering the pacman song isn't even that long

[@tawdryhepburn4686]

Given the time period, it’s entirely possible that they didn’t pay for any of those.

[@TheHappySpaceman]

Is it possible for a song to be so dated that it wraps around to being timeless? This is how I feel about this song. :D

[@bloodstaindew1888]

Mope is literally nothing but samples. Metallica's For Whom the Bell Tolls main riff, "Relax" by Frankie Goes to Hollywood, and even a Homer Simpson sample of him yelling HOLY MACARONI ...which it something that, I must admit, they were REALLY years ahead of their time, it wouldn't sound too far off from what music mashups usually are on our internet age nowadays

[@Jaspertine]

Erm... I think the term your looking for is "wordplay." The rhymes, the flow, the puns and one-liners. The Bad Touch has very solid wordplay.

Ah yes, this song......i remember when this came out. It had a lot of airplay for a few months on my local alternative radio station, then it died off. Ever since then, it stuck with me. Im fully aware of the group's discography, and this was definitely one of their stronger moments.

[@TopherPettitGaming]

I'm going to say this as a 99 HS Grad... Never did I listen to the boy or girl bands, I was at Warped Tour and listen to my Ska, Swing, Punk and Pop Punk music. The only thing I remember about this song is a fun, personal story... I want to say it was later 00's when a group of friends went to an open mic local karaoke run at a Chinese bar, maybe had about 80-90 patrons. My best friend requested this song, 20 minutes later went on stage, began singing this song, and then started humping the wall, then humping a speaker, doing something wrong with the mic, then doing a fully clothed Chippendale's hump of the ground with full-on cheering and laughing. That is when the owner ran out with a second mic going "Too sexy, too sexy... no more." Stopped the music and then said, "You are no longer allowed to sing this song." We were regulars at the time... but the first time he sang this song. I'll remember this song for that.

There were so many good choices for this episode of I Love This Song and I would've been happy with any of them winning the poll but The Bad Touch is an excellent choice. Even though I'm one of the few R.E.M. fans that loves Shiny Happy People unironically, I'm still hoping for an I Hate That Song video on that song even though it lost to Godsmack's Bad Religion.

[@TheHeroOfTomorrow]

Holy shit, that Eminem connection...my reaction was the exact same as Crash's.

[@whicyc]

Ditto.

[@tawdryhepburn4686]

It’s almost-certainly true. Stan is a carbon copy of Chasey Lane, somehow taken even further. I mean, it just seems so unlikely that two Whiteboy rappers would suddenly choose to do obsessive fan picaresque narratives at the same time. And you gotta realize that, strange as it may seem, before Eminem hit, Bloodhound Gang probably represented the Commerical high watermark of Whiteboy rap. This was all juuuuust before Limp Bizkit and Kid Rock. (You could throw ICP into the mix, but I don’t think They count, even though Eminem fairly-famously was obsessed with them too). Plus, go check out Real Slim Shady, he’s aping Bloodhound Gang’s sense of humor and ratatat-pop-culture-references-over-euro-beats formula to a tee.

[@rayanna7188]

Same tho! The Ballad Of Chasey Lain was Stan before the actual song

My exposure to this song was at a friend's bat mitzvah party. I thought it was the catchiest song they played there.

[@danthemanwhocancan]

I heard they banned bat mitzvah parties this year?? 🤔

[@Guzuma]

i discovered these guys as an adolescent through early youtube parodies and AMVs in like...2007-2008. my favorite songs by them were always ‘i hope you die’ and ‘foxtrot uniform charlie kilo’. musically most of their songs still sound great to me, but going back now and listening to some of the edgelord lyrics ruins it and gives me secondhand embarrassment. definitely a product of that late 90s edgy era. mope is still unironically a banger IMO even though it’s got more samples and references in it than a seltzer friedburg movie

This one is, of course, an exception. I wouldn't call it funny (I wouldn't call any Bloodhound Gang song funny), but just the way this song flows is so infectious I can just enjoy it not as joke. Really loved the episode, might be my favorite I Love This Song episode so far.

[@h2ophilter]

1999 was a magical year for music.

[@MBF78]

When somebody takes a sample and uses it like the way you described, by changing it, I think it shouldn't be called sample, it should be called adaptation. The best example that's always on my mind is Coldplay's Talk, which takes that sample from Kraftwerk's Computer Love, reworks it and makes it their own. What do you think?

[@crazydud3380]

To some extent, I definitely agree. The sam thing is generally true in Hollywood for good remakes versus bad remakes. The bad ones either just make the same movie again, or change it so much that they clear just used the name to sell tickets. The good ones, rare as they may be, still honor and respect the original, without attempting to replace it, while reinterpreting it into something unique. Remakes such as Carpenter's The Thing or Cronenberg's The Fly are excellent examples of this. A musical example could be Butterfly by Crazy Town. Come to think of it, they are similar to the Bloodhound Gang. Both are terrible, with one huge exception of a track where they absolutely rip!

[@colesmith1178]

I personally like they’re stuff I understand if you don’t like it that’s totally understandable this is for sureeee an aquired taste , witch is an understatement but the reason they went into obscurity cuz they didn’t make anything from 2005 til 2015 and didn’t promote it . They had a decent following they had solid minor hits that got them on MTV they’re downfall is them not making music for years and they were kicked out of Russia in 2013 where they almost got back together

[@Lacquerhead-2112]

This was a rad video! The whole thing about the bands with talent having some sort of shtick, reminded me of another band that kinda fits the Primus/Butthole Surfers vibe: Ween. I feel like they’ve been able to last because of a combination of being excellent songwriters, and being off-the-walls bizarre. (Check out their early tapes from the really wacko stuff.)

[@Harv72b]

Did I like The Bloodhound Gang? Yes...still do, actually. Did I _respect_ The Bloodhound Gang? Nope, never. I mean, as you pointed out Jimmy Pop has a distinctive and borderline great flow, and his lyrics often contained some absolute gems. The thing is, he/they definitely went for quantity over quality on the jokes; some of them fell flat even back then and *many* of them do not stand the test of time (for numerous reasons, most of which you mentioned). All that being said, they were indeed a fun band back in the day *if* you happened to fall into their target demographic, which I and most of my friends at the time did. The lyrics were quotable (not in all company), many of the songs were actually pretty catchy, and in the same way you might tune into a Howard Stern or a Bill O'Reilly just to see what kind of crap they're going to say next, we looked forward to their next release. I think what killed the band was neither a lack of talent nor even the changing of the times, it was the fact that they (like most of us) got older. It's one thing for a bunch of guys in their teens and twenties to be doing these kinds of songs, but it's an entirely different feel when they hit their thirties and forties. That's yet another way that their music aged poorly--mid twenties Jimmy Pop singing "please turn me on I'm Mr. Coffee with an automatic drip" is a damn sight different than late forties Jimmy Pop doing it. For anybody who *is* considering delving into their back catalog, some relatively safe tunes to check out are "Boom" (a collab with Rob Van Winkle aka Vanilla Ice), "Ralph Wiggum" (with lyrics made up entirely of Simpsons quotes from or about said character), and their cover of RUN-DMC's "It's Tricky". The rest of their songs mainly fall under the "depends on your sense of humor & how easily offended you are" category.
