The album was released on December 3, 1996 and eventually sold over 500,000 copies in the US. The album's first single, "Fire Water Burn," played a major role in the slow build of interest that ultimately led to the band's mainstream breakthrough.

signed the band after two months. After the success of One Fierce Beer Coaster, the band entered the studio in 1998 to record their newest album.
, the album's predecessor, Hooray for Boobies was written and recorded in a heavy alternative

's 1986 hit "Rock Me Amadeus
," Metallica
's "For Whom the Bell Tolls
," Frankie Goes to Hollywood
's "Relax
" and the Pac-Man
theme song.
The album's title is attributed to Parry Gripp

Hooray for Boobies is the final album with drummer Spanky G, who left mid-production, however he is on the album cover. The song "Yummy Down On This" features drummer Darrin Pfeiffer
of Goldfinger
.
The final song, "Along Comes Mary," was never intended to be on the album, but Geffen
insisted the band include it. Very rare early promo versions of the album exclude the track.
The album, reminiscent of the bands first album
, features various skits in between songs. The first of these skits, entitled "Mama's Boy" is an impromptu phone conversation between Jimmy Pop and his mother. "R.S.V.P." features a short monologue from Vivid
pornstar Chasey Lain

-esque approach to music. Popmatters reviewer Patrick Schabe compared the Bloodhound Gang to Beck
, saying, "if anomalous characterization, synthesis, and a popular culture repertoire make Beck the big brother of postmodern music, then surely he’s part of a family? If so, then perhaps the Bloodhound Gang are the snotty, juvenile, teenage brother in that family."
However, not all reviews were complimentary. Many critics criticized the band for its heavy use of outdated music and its toilet and sex-based humor. Entertainment Weekly
writer Doug Brod decried the album, saying "on Hooray for Boobies these knuckleheads tap into '80s-style metal and New Orderish dance-wave to back their dumbbell odes to oral sex, porn stars, revenge, and – did I mention oral sex?"
