The Bloodhound Gang are an American post-grunge rock and roll/pseudo-hip hop synth pop band, originally from Quakertown, Pennsylvania. The group formed in 1994 (see 1994 in music).

Perhaps the group's best known hit is "The Bad Touch", which shows the band members parading in monkey costumes; it became a staple on MTV's Total Request Live and propelled the album Hooray for Boobies to platinum sales status. The band is also known for the single "Fire Water Burn" off of One Fierce Beer Coaster which contains the chorus of "The roof/The roof/The roof is on fire/We don't need no water/Let the motherfucker burn/Burn motherfucker burn." (This lyric was borrowed from the 1985 hit "The Roof is On Fire" by Rock Master Scott and the Dynamic Three.) In 2004, it was featured in the film Fahrenheit 9/11 being played by an American soldier in Iraq.
