The band consisted of Jimmy Pop and Daddy Long Legs. They graduated from Perkiomen Valley High School. They released one known tape, which was self titled. Soon they changed their name to the Bloodhound Gang and changed their musical style. Their new name referred to &quot;The Bloodhound Gang&quot;, a segment on the 1980s PBS kids&apos; show 3-2-1 Contact which featured three young detectives solving mysteries and fighting crime.</FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT><TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Verdana" SIZE="10" COLOR="#0B333C" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0"></FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT><TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Verdana" SIZE="10" COLOR="#0B333C" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0">Unable to get booked at any clubs, the Bloodhound Gang first performed in the extra room at Evil Jared Hasselhoff&apos;s house, in exchange for Schlitz, Marlboros, and a chance to hand out their first demo tape, entitled Just Another Demo.

They embarked on their first &quot;real tour&quot; of the United States and Europe (they are quoted as saying this was &quot;the first tour where nobody&apos;s parents had to drive out and pick up the band after the van broke down&quot;). The album boasted the well-known song &quot;Fire Water Burn.&quot; The song was featured in the movie Fahrenheit 9/11 as a song that is popular among US troops in Iraq. The band reportedly let Michael Moore use the song for free, claiming &quot;Michael Moore kicks ass. He&apos;s the master of delivering a compelling point in an entertaining manner. So, when he asked us to use &apos;Fire Water Burn&apos; in Fahrenheit 9/11, we not only said &apos;fuck yeah,&apos; but waived our normal fee.&quot; 1 In the summer of 1996 Jimmy Pop Ali had a supporting role in the independent film Kin by director Kurt Fitzpatrick and starring Fitzpatrick, Marie Hans and Ben McVoy.

The title came about after Evil Jared Hasselhoff Phillips was fined during work on MTV&apos;s &quot;Viva La Bam&quot; (The Scavenger Hunt episode). Jared Phillips was fined $20,000, which Jimmy Pop allegedly had to pay (This is discussed in the &quot;Uncommon-tary&quot; Of the Viva La Bam DVDs). The CD&apos;s original title, Heavy Flow, was scrapped when it was noticed that fellow musician Moby had a song with the same name. The first single, &quot;Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo,&quot; gained heavy rotation on music video channels. Although the track &quot;No Hard Feelings&quot; recently broke into the Modern Rock Top 50, their second single is &quot;Uhn Tiss Uhn Tiss Uhn Tiss&quot; (which is featured in a Blaupunkt ad) has started radio circulation with a music video airing limitedly on a few music channels. Other songs from the new album are part of a campaign by the Bloodhound Gang to change the Pennsylvania state anthem into their appropriately titled &quot;Pennsylvania&quot; and &quot;Something Diabolical,&quot; featuring HIM&apos;s Ville Valo. The band&apos;s current members can also be found on a few episodes of Viva La Bam including the episode in which Bam Margera divides his friends into teams that go out and do outrageous stunts in order to earn points in a &quot;scavenger hunt&quot; to decide what happens to April Margera&apos;s piano that she wishes to get rid of. Bam Margera also makes a guest star appearance on their Hefty Fine album on a hidden track and in the music video for &quot;Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo.&quot;</FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT><TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Verdana" SIZE="10" COLOR="#0B333C" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0"></FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT><TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Verdana" SIZE="10" COLOR="#0B333C" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0">Drummer Willie the New Guy was released from his position at the start of 2006, by mutual agreement between him &amp; the band.
