Content



According to a band interview to the BBC, the song was written after Jimmy Pop had seen pornographic film actress Chasey Lain in a clothing ad. When questioned if the infatuation was real, he commented "No. No. What happened was, I saw her in a clothing ad, and I was like, 'she's really cute'. So I'm not sure if we started 'researching' Chasey Lain but she came out and performed on our record with us, and her arms were like, hairier than mine. And she was dumber than that table".[http://www.bbc.co.uk/tyne/content/articles/2005/11/15/bloodhound_gang_interview_feature.shtml The Bloodhound Gang interview], BBC, November 15, 2005

Music video



The music video features the band performing the song on stage, and the director and the film crew are all naked women. Throughout the course of the video, the band is apparently becoming distracted by the naked women, and Jared Hasselhoff even walks and falls off the stage while distracted. At the end of the video, Jimmy Pop complains about being distracted, and an obese man eating food in a sloppy and disgusting manner is revealed, possibly implying the band was distracted by him, rather than the naked girls.
