Overview Edit

"The Bad Touch" is the first single by the Bloodhound Gang off their 1999 album Hooray for Boobies. It was released in 1999 internationally and, a year later, in the U.S. and UK. The song was also remixed by God Lives Underwater and Eiffel 65. The music is based on the Pet Shop Boys song "In the Night" (the B-side of the "Opportunities (Let's Make Lots of Money)" single from the album Please), and was supposedly written in 1986 by then-fourteen-year-old Jimmy Pop, despite the song's reference to The X-Files, which premiered in 1993.

Like much of the Bloodhound Gang's other music, the song contains a wide variety of sexual colloquialisms.

The sleeve for the single features a photo of two zebras in sexual intercourse.
