I think I’m hallucinating this, but I have a memory of some dude grabbing his junk & saying: “we don’t need no water I’ll put it out”

To be honest, when I see this written, my first thought is a scene from Mystery Men instead of a song.

Bloodhound gang is like my #6 most played artist on Spotify, one fierce beer coaster is a solid album

My Spotify Daylist threw some Prodigy at me recently...

It was a very welcome surprise that ended up getting blasted on my surround-sound!

One of the few songs where I think the censored radio version was better. The funny sound effects they used in place of the curse words made it funnier.

Roof On Fire Claims Lives Of 43 Party People

“I tried shouting to the people on the dance floor that the roof was on fire and that they should exit the premises immediately, but they seemed unfazed by the danger,” firefighter Michael Pitti said. “I just kept shouting, ’The roof! The roof! The roof is on fire!’ and so forth, but they just went right on dancing, insisting that they didn’t need any of our water and that we should let the motherfucker burn.”

“I was screaming at the top of my lungs, ’Get down! Get down, party people!’” said Garry Hodges of Ladder Company 42, “but the more I shouted out, the harder they danced.”

This song popped up one day and I was so excited singing along. Completely forgot what comes after "we don't need no water"... my 4 year old was with me and he caught on far too quickly to those lyrics 🙈🤷‍♀️ he still remembers them a year later 🤣

The roach, the roach, the roach is on fire. We don't need no water, let that mother burn higher!

Throw your hands in the air,
wave 'em like you just don't care.
If you're not a square from Delaware,
and you got on clean underwear,
and your momma ain't on welfare...

Coal Chamber did it best.

Bloodhound gang have some really great songs. Not at all PC, offensive, but good tunes with wtf/interesting lyrics.

Lift your head up high is dark and inappropriate but fun to dance to.

[-]

admode1982@reddit

Love. The kind they cleanup with a mop and bucket

[-]

-SandorClegane-@reddit

if you're feeling down and out with what your life is all about lift your head up high...

Wholesome as fuck, if you ask me.

FI-Engineer@reddit

Rock Master Scott and the Dynamic Three did the original track.

Went to a gig on their first international tour. After their set they came into the crowd to hang out and meet everyone. HWP were support and did the same. Good times.
