}} ''Hefty Fine'' is the fourth studio album by American alternative rock band Bloodhound Gang, released on September 27, 2005. Produced by Jimmy Pop, it was Bloodhound Gang's third release on Geffen Records following the band's smash hit ''Hooray for Boobies'' which managed to sell over one million copies in the United States and the European Union. Compared to other Bloodhound Gang albums, the musical style of ''Hefty Fine'' features a more prominent industrial-rapcore feel, with an electronica texture. The album contains prominent rap metal guitar riffs, electronic instruments, and heavy emphasis on scatological humor. The album received poor reviews and holds the dubious accolade of having received the second worst review on review aggregator website Metacritic. Despite the critical back-lash, the album sold well, particularly in Europe, where it debuted in the top ten in Austria, the Netherlands, and Germany. In the US, the album peaked at number 24 on the ''Billboard'' 200. Three singles were released from the album including "Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo", "Uhn Tiss Uhn Tiss Uhn Tiss", and "No Hard Feelings". The album's first two singles were minor hits, the former charting on six charts, and the latter charting on four. ==Music== "Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo" was inspired by a joke between Jimmy Pop and "Evil" Jared Hasselhoff. Originally, the two had sent each other euphemisms for sexual intercourse via email.〔 The joke later evolved into the song.〔 According to Jimmy Pop, "Ralph Wiggum" took the longest to write because it required the band to sift through several scripts of ''The Simpsons''.〔 "Something Diabolical" features vocals from Finnish band HIM's lead singer, Ville Valo, who makes reference to the band in the lyric "Tonight belongs to H.I.M." HIM and The Bloodhound Gang toured with each other in the 1990s.〔 Eventually, the groups became close and Jimmy Pop offered to distribute HIM's CDs in America.〔 When it came time to record "Something Diabolical," Valo was asked by the band to record some of the vocals.〔 The hidden track is said by Bam Margera of CKY/Jackass/Viva La Bam fame. He can also be seen in the video for "Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo" driving a car shaped like a banana and despite popular belief, he did not direct the video. RockHard Films director Marc Klasfeld directed the video. "Balls Out" can be heard briefly in the car chase scene from "Drillbit Taylor". 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「Hefty Fine」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
