"The Bad Touch" is the first single by The Bloodhound Gang off their 1999 album Hooray for Boobies. The song propelled the group into stardom, with lyrics such as "You and me baby ain't nothin' but mammals / so let's do it like they do on the Discovery Channel". It was released in 1999 internationally and a year later in the US and UK. The song was also remixed by Eiffel 65, who also enjoyed a similar short-term success at the time. The music is based on the Pet Shop Boys song "In the Night" (the B-side of the "Opportunities (Let's Make Lots of Money)" single from the album Please).
