"Fire Water Burn" (1997)

EW's GRADE
C-

Details Lead Performance: Bloodhound Gang; Genre: Rock

When Bloodhound Gang singer Jimmy Pop Ali claims to be ''a dumb white guy,'' it's truth in advertising. With lines like ''If I crashed into Uranus, I'd stick it where the sun don't shine,'' "Fire Water Burn" sounds more like Andrew Dice Clay than Beck. If you think mumbling hip-hop slang with self-conscious Caucasian stiffness is funny, this dud's for you.
