''Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water'' is the third studio album by Limp Bizkit, it was released on October 17, 2000, by Interscope Records and Flip Records. The album debuted at number one on the ''Billboard'' 200, selling 1.05 million copies in its first week, making it the fastest-selling rock album, breaking the record held for 7 years, since Pearl Jam's album ''Vs.'' (1993).〔Seymour, Craig (October 26, 2000). (High 'Rollin'' ). ''Entertainment Weekly''. Accessed May 21, 2008.〕 The album became the eighteenth best-selling album of the 2000s in the United States. In 2010, according to the RIAA website, the album has sold over 8 million copies in the United States alone as of 2010 and has sold 20 million worldwide. ''Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water'' was supported by five singles in total; "My Generation", "Rollin' (Air Raid Vehicle)", "Take a Look Around", "My Way" and "Boiler". The album was listed in the book for ''1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die''. ==Music and lyrics== The first part of the title is a scatological reference to the appearance of the human anus (''Chocolate Starfish''). However, ''Hot Dog Flavored Water'' is an inside joke started by Wes Borland at a truck stop while the band was on tour, where Borland saw bottles of Crystal Geyser flavored water, and made a joke about having meat or hot dog flavors. Durst himself refers to the album name in three songs. First, "Livin' It Up", where he declares that "The chocolate starfish is my man Fred Durst" (Wes Borland has stated in an interview when questioned on the naming of the album that "Fred calls himself Chocolate Starfish, because people call him an asshole all the time"〔), "Hot Dog", where he tells his detractors to "Kiss my starfish, my chocolate starfish," and "Rollin' (Air Raid Vehicle)" where he mentions "Chocolate Starfish" in the introduction. The song "Hot Dog" is notorious for featuring the word "fuck" 46 times. The chorus parodies the Nine Inch Nails songs "Closer", "The Perfect Drug" and "Burn". Durst said he was a big fan of Nine Inch Nails, who inspired his music, although Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor had made negative remarks about Durst during that period.〔Interview with Fred Durst by K-Rock New York. 2000.〕 Reviewers have often interpreted Durst's lyrics in "Hot Dog" as an insult to Reznor. "Livin' It Up" samples "Life in the Fast Lane" by the American rock band The Eagles. The lyrics of My Generation reference "My Generation" by The Who and "Welcome to the Jungle" by Guns N' Roses. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
