From Hooray for Boobies (1999). Hooray for Boobies is the third studio album by American rock band The Bloodhound Gang. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Marshall JCM900 2100 SL-X, the rig we use for Bloodhound Gang's other songs from Hooray for Boobies, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
