Hooray for Boobies is the third studio album by American alternative rock band Bloodhound Gang, released on October 4, 1999, in Europe and February 29, 2000, in the US. The album, produced by Jimmy Pop and Richard Gavalis, was the band's second release on Geffen Records following the gold-selling One Fierce Beer Coaster.
The album received generally favorable reviews and was a commercial success. Hooray for Boobies effectively broke the Bloodhound Gang into the mainstream. The album initially debuted at number two on the US Top Heatseekers chart, but managed to peak at number 14 on the US Billboard 200. The album also hit number one in Australia, Austria, and Germany. Since its release in 1999, the album has sold over 4 million copies internationally.
Five singles were released from the album including "Along Comes Mary", "The Bad Touch", "The Ballad of Chasey Lain", "Mope", and "The Inevitable Return of the Great White Dope". The album's second single, "The Bad Touch", was an international hit, charting on fourteen different charts worldwide, and managing to hit number one on five of them.
In March 1995 the Bloodhound Gang signed a record deal with Columbia Records and released their first full-length album, titled Use Your Fingers (1995), but were subsequently dropped by the label. After adjusting its lineup, the group began working on their newest album, One Fierce Beer Coaster.
Released on December 3, 1996, it eventually sold over 500,000 copies in the US. The album's first single, "Fire Water Burn," played a major role in the slow build of interest that ultimately led to the band's mainstream breakthrough.Geffen Records signed the band within two months as word-of-mouth praise for the album spread.
