Hooker with a Penis
"Hooker with a Penis" is a song by the American rock band Tool. It was released on September 17, 1996, as the seventh track off their second studio album, ''Ænima''. The song is one of the heaviest tracks from the album, and perhaps one of the heaviest songs by Tool. Unlike the more progressive and alternative metal sound of the rest of the album, the track has elements of hardcore punk and thrash metal especially toward the end with some of Danny Carey's fastest double bass drumming.
The song deviates greatly from the themes explored on the rest of ''Ænima'' lyrically and musically. The words behind "Hooker with a Penis" are fairly straightforward, though the title is not mentioned in the song and does not actually refer to a tranvestite prostitute. It refers to a fan who accused the band of selling out from the success of their single "Sober" off 1993's ''Undertow''. The intensity of the music is pushed to almost comical levels as proof that they have not become jaded by their new found success. When asked if he is "sucking up to the man", Maynard casually responds that we are all the man. He points out the hypocrisy of such a statement by noting that everything you "read and wear and hear and see on TV is a product". "OGT" is taken to stand for "Original Gangster Tool".〔The Tool FAQ, G43.〕 Keenan whispers in the left channel throughout the song. At 1:41, "consume, be fruitful, and multiply" may be alluding to Genesis, which contains the phrase "be fruitful and multiply" six times.
It received generally positive reviews by music critics, although some criticized that the song detaches itself from the album's carefully plotted concept, and even that the track felt "tacked-on" to the album.〔(Brain Dead - User. Tool - Aenima. Sputnikmusic. Retrieved May 18, 2006. )〕 Nonetheless, it remains a fan favorite. During Lollapalooza 1997, a version of "Hooker with a Penis" remixed by Billy Howerdel in the form of lounge music was played over the public address system between sets.〔The Tool FAQ, D7.〕 The band played at the festival in 1997.
