Music Monday: Hot Dog by Limp Bizkit

Music Monday is a meme that was created by Drew from The Tattooed Book Geek. Bjørn and I will pick a song alternatively on each Monday and share our thoughts about them. Timy’s pick this week is Hot Dog by Limp Bizkit.

Alright peeps, are you ready to walk down memory lane with me? I can’t say I’m a big Limp Bizkit fan myself, but they certainly were everywhere in the early 2000s with songs like Rollin‘, My Way, Behind Blue Eyes (man, I loved that song) and it was impossible not to hear at least one of these songs. But I’m not picking one of those most popular songs today. Oh no, I’m going to pick my personal favorite, Hot Dog. This song was released on the Chocolate Starfish and Hot Dog Flavored Water album in 2000. I think I came across it a couple of years later, in my teens, when a friend of mine showed it to me (I think…it’s been a while, my memory is hazy at best). This was the time when I really started to get into rock and roll, knew little to no English, and was already a proud filthy-mouthed Hungarian thanks to my dad. So, a song that gives literally 50 fucks was highly amusing to me. It still is. And you know, 24 years after its release, I still fucking love it. There, I said it.

Ladies and gentlemen!
Introducing the Chocolate Starfish
And the Hotdog Flavored Water
Bring it on!
Get the fuck up!
Yeah, check, one, two
Listen up, listen up!
Here we go! (here we go!)

It’s a fucked up world and a fucked up place
Everybody’s judged by their fucked up face
Fucked up dreams, fucked up life
A fucked up kid with a fucked up knife
Fucked up moms and fucked up dads
It’s a fucked up a cop with a fucked up badge
Fucked up job with fucked up pay
And a fucked up boss, this a fucked up day
Fucked up press with fucked up lies
While Lethal’s in the back with the fucked up eyes

Hey (It’s on!)
Everybody knows it’s on
Hey (It’s on!)
Everybody knows it’s on

Ain’t it a shame that you can’t say “Fuck”
Fuck’s just a word and it’s all fucked up
Like a fucked up punk with a fucked up mouth
A nine inch nail, I’ll get knocked the fuck out
Fucked up AIDS from fucked up sex
Fake-ass titties on a fucked up chest
We’re all fucked up, so what you wanna do?
With fucked up me and fucked up you?

You wanna fuck me like an animal?
You’d like to burn me on the inside?
You like to think that I’m a perfect drug?
Just know that nothin’ you do will bring you closer to me

Ain’t life a bitch? A fucked up bitch
A fucked up sore with a fucked up stitch
A fucked up head, it’s a fucked up shame
Swingin’ on my nuts is a fucked up game
Jealousy fillin’ up a fucked up mind
It’s real fucked up like a fucked up crime
If I say “Fuck” two more times
That’s 46 “Fuck”s in this fucked up rhyme

Hey (It’s on!)
Everybody knows it’s on
Hey (It’s on!)
Everybody knows it’s on

You wanna fuck me like an animal?
You’d like to burn me on the inside?
You like to think that I’m a perfect drug?
Just know that nothin’ you do will bring you closer to me

Hoo-haa, haaw! Listen up, baby!
You can’t bring me (bring me) down
I don’t think so, I don’t (fuck) think so
You better check your (check it) self
Before you wreck yourself
Kiss my starfish, my chocolate starfish, punk!
Kiss my starfish, my chocolate starfish

You wanna fuck me like an animal?
You wanna burn me on the inside?
You like to think that I’m a perfect drug?
Just know that nothin’ you do will bring you closer to me
