The Ballad of Chasey Lain

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"The Ballad of Chasey Lain" is a song by The Bloodhound Gang on their 1999 album Hooray for Boobies. It was released as a single in the United States and overseas.

The lyrics of the song are in the form of a series of letters to the porn star Chasey Lain from a fan; the fan is requesting that he be allowed to perform analingus on Lain. The lyrics get notably angrier, in what seems to be a mimicry of most obsessed fans when the object of their obsession is "ignoring" them. In this way, it is similar to the 2000 Eminem song "Stan".

At the end of the song, the obsessed fan apparently kidnaps Lain (as happened in reality) and introduces her to his parents as his wife to be, hence the chorus, "Mom and dad, this is Chasey / Chasey, this is my mom and dad."

Chasey Lain was the object of Jimmy Pop's obsession for a period leading up to the recording of the album (which lead to the writing of the song), and was tapped for reading dialogue. According to the band, she was very arrogant, and the recording went poorly. They used the outtakes for the following track, "R.S.V.P." This ended his fascination with her, though the song has been a regular in the band's live set.
