Scribbled Drunk on a Postcard

I am a big fan of Bloodhound Gang. They had two big radio hits — “Fire Water Burn” (1996) and “The Bad Touch” (2000) — so I guess it’s not fair to call them one-hit wonders, but generally they’re not exactly “pop” music. Most of their songs are painfully sophomoric — “The Ballad of Chasey Lain“, “I Wish I Was Queer So I Could Get Chicks”, and “Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo” come to mind. (One of my favorites is “A Lap Dance Is So Much Better When The Stripper Is Crying”, although I don’t play that one in the office very often.)

If you can somehow manage to ignore almost all of the lyrics, the song Pennsylvania has a refrain that I think is actually pretty beautiful:

In the word “apologize”
Scribbled drunk on a postcard
Sent from somewhere volcanoes are
I am the heart with no name
Airbrushed on the license plate
Of a Subaru that was
