10 Perfect Singles By Terrible Rock Bands
1. Bloodhound Gang: The Bad Touch (1999)
Bloodhound Gang was the electro-rock equivalent of Limp Bizkit. The difference was, these guys knew how ridiculous they were, and lent into it hard. When you release a record entitled 'Hooray for Boobies' it's a pretty solid indication that your main agenda is having fun, rather than being taken seriously.
And, if you wanted to sum up Bloodhound Gang in one word, 'fun' would be it. You might not recall another track by them, but they really didn't need to give more to the world other than The Bad Touch. There wasn't a kid coming up in the 2000s, who didn't know every lyric to this song. Before the world of memes, this was our entertainment: ridiculous music videos, with sensationalist lyrics.
You could recite every verse verbatim - usually after you'd just sunk a beer, that you weren't old enough to legally buy - to impress your crush at a party. We have a lot to thank Bloodhound Gang for, if you wanted to make a tit out of yourself, and shrug it off in the name of fun, this was who you turned to.
