Formed in 1991 in Pennsylvania, the Bloodhound Gang are a rap/metal group; although they originally began doing hip-hop, they evolved into a more traditional rock band format while still retaining a DJ. Their style tends to be [[Neoclassical Punk Zydeco Rockabilly|a little all-over-the-map]] as a result, but it's tied together by their lyrics. Usually considered more of a comedy band than anything, the Bloodhound Gang specialize in [[Dead Baby Comedy|off-color humor]], [[Double Entendre|dick jokes]] and [[A Worldwide Punomenon|many, many, many puns.]] |
