for a moment I thought you had linked to this truly unique love song by The Mountain Goats

Yea, but that's one of the best songs in genre, I posted one of the worst... Coincidentally the opener on this Bloodhound Gang album is called 'I hope you die' (as is the verse in the Goats song) and is a fun (still shitty) song on a otherwise unfun(ny) crap album.

Wait, is there some Mountain Goats & Bloodhound Gang connection in not aware of?

Oh man.. my english becomes quite bad when I'm high. What I tried to say is: In the "No Children" song by 'The Mountain Goats' there is a verse that goes: "I hope you die". On the 'Bloodhoung Gang' album the opener is called "I hope you die".

That's all the connection there is... hopefully, since I like the Mountain Goats.
