Altogether Ooky

Bloodhound Gang's 'Altogether Ooky' is a song that delves into the realm of dark humor and absurdity, employing grotesque and bizarre imagery to convey its message. The lyrics are filled with shocking and often uncomfortable scenarios, which are used to highlight the singer's disdain and repulsion towards a particular person. The song opens with a peculiar and unsettling scene of someone sniffing the singer's boxers at a Red Lobster, setting the tone for the rest of the track. This bizarre behavior is immediately labeled as creepy, akin to the unsettling nature of Tom Cruise's laughter, which is a cultural reference to the actor's often scrutinized public persona.

The chorus of the song introduces a medieval-like scenario where the singer imagines coming to the person's house on horseback, accompanied by villagers with torches, reminiscent of classic monster-hunting scenes. This imagery serves to emphasize the singer's view of the person as a monstrous figure, someone who is deeply disliked and feared by the community. The use of such exaggerated and fantastical elements adds a layer of absurdity to the song, making it both humorous and unsettling.

Throughout the song, the lyrics continue to explore themes of disgust and repulsion, with lines comparing the taste of the person's kisses to the discomfort of defecating while naked. The singer's desire to avoid any further contact with the person is made clear with the hyperbolic statement that they would rather be assaulted by clowns again. The song concludes with a reference to the infamous line from 'The Silence of the Lambs,' where the singer mentions rubbing lotion on their skin to avoid getting the hose again. This final touch of dark humor encapsulates the overall tone of the song, blending horror and comedy in a way that is characteristic of Bloodhound Gang's style.
