Apparently, the album title Significant Other was just too... insignificant. Further casting aside all concepts of taste and decency, Limp Bizkit plans to title their new album, Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water. For those who can't decode this particular obscenity, the "chocolate starfish" is a reference to your... yeah. (As in, "you can stick it up your yeah!") As for the "hot dog flavored water," well, we'll leave you to give a long, hard thought to that.
Of course, Fred Durst and the Biz-kids aren't the first band to try a wacky, miserable or suggestive title that screams, "Don't buy me." In fact, Recess dug up a number of album titles from years past that, perhaps like "hot dog flavored water," just leave a bad taste in our mouths.
Hootie and the Blowfish Cracked Rear View: You know what "crack" these asses are talking about viewing.
Van Halen For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge: Since the word f*** would be too obscene (even for Recess), the horndogs used the legal charge that spawned it instead. Clever!
Warrant Cherry Pie: You can't make pie out of that kind of cherries.
Foxy Brown Ill Na Na: An innocuous enough reference to umm... Foxy's more intimate parts.
The Dwarves Blood, Guts and Pussy: This Sub Pop classic pretty much spells it out. So does the nasty, nasty album cover that depicts all of the aforementioned.
Steely Dan Two Against Nature: Just thinking about the aging Donald Fagen, Walter Becker and a real "steely dan" (a term for a type of self-pleasuring device) at the same time is a crime against nature.
Britney Spears ...Baby One More Time: Unless she's really begging for a left hook to the noggin, it'd take a man with staying power to "hit" Britney more than once.
Bloodhound Gang Use Your Fingers: These guys were thinking with something even smaller when they titled their next misogynistic album Hooray for Boobies.
Stone Temple Pilots Tiny Music...Songs from the Vatican Gift Shop: Not only was this title excruciating, but the heroin-addled, spotty songwriting on the album was, too. Don't Vatican gift shops play elevator music, anyway? An interesting aside: STP frontman Weiland produced Bizkit's Chocolate Starfish... A coincidence? Sounds to us like he's not quite off the smack.
