My question is to women, and it is about the rap/rock/comedy band known as The Bloodhound Gang. If you're not familiar with them, they're the band that did that song Bad Touch about 6 years ago, whuch goes like "You and me baby ain't nothing but mammal so let's do it like they do on the Discovery Channel"I was playing it in my car, driving myself and a friend and his girlfriend and she remarked at being offended by the lyrics. Personally, I've never known a female fan of this band, but I do know that they do also rap about blacks and gays and have huge fan bases in those categories. I don't know her personally, so I wonder if she was just a little uptight or if there is genuinely something offensive in this music that is intended for entertainment purposes only. In case you have no frame of reference (i.e., you've never heard the particular song), here are the lyrics:"My last girlfriend didn't like me thought she might be,Most likely a dyke she just didn't excite me,Lefty? Yeah but that was alright,She was hotter than the sun but she just wasn't that bright,My mistake she was more flaky than a leper colony,I think a wooden clothespin would have been much better company,Ass like a donkey acting funky gave her "L" now she's a flunky,So my love for her died quicker than a batch of Sea Monkeys,Early bird gets the worm spread your legs or spread the word,So what if I'm not the smartest peanut in the turd,I'm white which goes with everything but I can come in any color,And I'm looking for the kind of girl that reminds me of my mother,But it's hard to find a girl with a viper tattooed on her tushy,And how many girls do you know that can play the harmonica with their pussies?Like em' easy and hot and sweet like a Rice Krispie Treat, gee,You know what I really want in a girl? Me,I need to find a new vagina,Any kind of new vagina,It's hard to rhyme a word like vagina,Calvin Klein? Kind of North Carolina, Women are like dog, doo, hear me through don't interrupt,It's just the older that they are the easier they get to pick-up,I'd fill the generation gap clean the cobwebs from her rafters,Old hens would rather put out than be put out to the pasture,No age just ain't a gauge I like my girls like my cheese,Preferably for me fat-free American singles only,I want my next chick anorexic, the winner is the thinner,Won't have to take her skinny ass out to a fancy dinner,Like Sizzler she got a beef we'll chew the fat,If I forget to put the seat up I can put up with her crap,Let her lash out and crack the whip but not in bed I don't play rough,No I can't be tied down with a girl that wants me tied up,Just independent like NOFX ,smart like Janeane Garafolo,She'd use big words to make fun of me so that I would never know,Bestow upon me all her wisdom of the Dewey Decimal System, gee,You know what I really want in a girl? Me,I need to find a new vagina,Any kind of new vagina,It's hard to rhyme a word like vagina,Kevin Klein? Kind of South Carolina,Vagina vagina vagina vagina,Vagina vagina vagina vagina."

if your going to ask such a question you may want to include lyrics to "a lap dance is only fun if the stripper is crying"of course they also did shit like knock knck mister rogers, the roof is on fire, I wish I was queer so I could get chics....

I disagree, I don't think that Fire Water Burn (Roof is on Fire) is that offensive, they have some good tracks like something diabolical and I Hope You Die that are more than just sexual rap.But yeah, a Lap Dance Is So much better when the stripper is crying, Mope, I wish I was queer so I could get chicksI wish I was queer so I could get chicksIf your ass is a Chinese restaurant I'll have the poo-poo platter My friend Jerry Vandergrift kissed me in Home Ec. class Later in the afternoon some jarheads in the locker room kicked my ass I said guys I'm like you I like Monster Trucks too Wanna see how many push-ups I can do? I just wish I was queer so I could get chicks Chicks dig guys that are Queer guys that don't dig Chicks that don't dig guys like me See I'm not queer I'm too ugly But if I were handsome just imagine how great it would be Incognito as gay though but not actually that way though pseudo homo phony Maybe it's a stupid theory or maybe just stupidity But if I was a queerbee in the fashion industry Scoring with a super model would be easy Cause 'super model' means voluptuous but is also is synonomous with 'super dumb' Ya see I'd be a good listener so she'd treat me like a sister and soon I'd become That trusted friend that cares that rubs her back and braids her hair No it wouldn't be a week before I'm in her underwear I wish I was queer so I could get chicks Chicks dig guys that are Queer guys that don't dig Chicks that don't dig guys like me See I'm not queer I'm too ugly Doesn't matter what I'm packin' in my denim it's what's in my genes The only smoked meat the only sausage I would eat is made by Jimmy Dean See I'm not to keen on the smell of Vaseline No I'm not Princess Di and I don't wanna be a queen I wish I was queer so I could get chicks Anyway if I were gay I'd have to change my name to Dirk or Lewis Hang out with my mom's hair stylist his name is Kip he's got a lisp he talks like this And wear my mother's lingerie learn the songs of Broadway And appreciate Depeche Mode and avant garde ballet I wish I was queer so I could get chicks Chicks dig guys that are Queer guys that don't dig Chicks dig guys that are Queer guys that don't dig Chicks dig guys that are Queer guys that don't dig Chicks that don't dig guys like me See I'm not queer I'm too ugly And I don't shave my heiny Don't shave my heiny See I'm not queer I'm too ugly

haha, i listend to them when they 1st came out ( i was probably bout 10 at the time) and i thort they were sooo funny. i dont find it offensive, its humour. its just for the shock value anyway 2 get attention.tho, this isnt REALLY my choice of music...their lyrics, while funny, do kinda suck. they need new material...but i am fond of them for the memories, i always love songs that remind me of sum significant event that took place when i was litening 2 it or around that time.

I wasnt meaning to imply that all those songs were offensive, but that if your asking if the group is offensive, you have to include the good and the bad.and fire water burn, is offensive, not to women but to alot of other people.personally I like it, doesnt offend me at all but I can see how other groups would find it to be to them,
