Hefty Fine is the fourth studio album by American alternative rock band Bloodhound Gang, released on September 27, 2005.
Despite the critical backlash, the album sold well, particularly in Europe, where it debuted in the top ten in Austria, the Netherlands, and Germany.
[4] According to Jimmy Pop, "Ralph Wiggum" took the longest to write because it required the band to sift through several scripts of The Simpsons.
He can also be seen in the video for "Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo" driving a car shaped like a banana, which RockHard Films' Marc Klasfeld directed.
"I'm the Least You Can Do" reuses a piano riff from "Birthday Boy", a song by Jimmy Pop's pre-Bloodhound Gang band Bang Chamber 8, released in 1990 on a self-titled demo tape.
[5] After scrapping Heavy Flow, Lupus Thunder and Jimmy Pop began trading emails that featured the recurring gag "now that's a hefty fine".
'"[5] Bassist "Evil" Jared Hasselhoff and Lupus Thunder have also gone on the record stating that the name could be a play on words meaning an attractive, obese person.
According to "Evil" Jared Hasselhoff, the cover art was originally intended to feature an obese African-American woman, but Geffen insisted that the band change it.
[7] Potential models were asked to send in a picture and a bio, but Carlin Langley sent in a photograph of himself performing fellatio on another man.
Erlewine added that, "the humor may be perpetually adolescent, but the Bloodhound Gang's music is stuck in the '90s, so it can't really appeal to a new era of teenagers.
