One Fierce Beer Coaster is a December 3, 1996 (see 1996 in music) album by alternative rock band The Bloodhound Gang. The album includes one of their best-known singles, "Fire Water Burn", a diatribe against a white boy who attempts, and fails, to act like a black thug. Its chorus is taken from "The Roof Is on Fire" by Rock Master Scott & the Dynamic Three. [1]

Among the tracks on the album include "It's Tricky", a Run DMC cover (featuring the rapping debut of DJ Q-Ball; this album was also the first to feature him as a member of the band), and "Boom", which features an appearance by Rob Van Winkle, better known as Vanilla Ice. Van Winkle later incorporated his verse into the song "Prozac", which appeared on the album Hard To Swallow.

One Fierce Beer Coaster was originally released on Republic Records, which is the label the band previously released material on when it was under the name Cheese Factory Records. Due to word-of-mouth, however, DGC Records picked up on the band after two months.

The original release featured two extra tracks, one was "Yellow Fever" which was about having sex with Asian women and later deemed too offensive by the label, and the other was a hidden track on position number 69 on the original release, it consisted of an audio collage featuring a televangelist, Howard Stern talking about peanut butter, a news broadcast on the disease Lupus (an obvious reference to Lüpüs Thünder), and other assorted oddities. It ends with the sound of Jimmy Pop farting. It also came with an actual beer coaster to go with the name of the album.

[edit] Notes

• 3 minutes into "Lift Your Head Up High (And Blow Your Brains Out)", Jimmy Pop says "Rewind and let me reverse it backwards like Judas Priest first did." Immediately after this, there is just under 16 seconds of backwards vocals. If reversed, it says "Devil child wake up and eat Chef Boyardee Beefaroni"., as said in VenusDoom904's youtube video.

• In "Boom", a sample from the Depeche Mode song People Are People is used.

• In the song "Fire Water Burn", the lyrics 'I am white like Frank Black is / So if man is five and the devil is six than that must make me seven / This honkeys gone to heaven' reference the post-1993 stage name of Black Francis who wrote the Pixies song "Monkey Gone to Heaven" of which the lyrics allude.

• The song "It's Tricky" is a cover song of the rap band RUN-DMC.

• In "Kiss Me Where It Smells Funny" there is a similar riff like the instrumental riff of the song "Walk This Way" of RUN-DMC and Aerosmith
