Synopsis

The video turns the song's one-sided fan letter into a deliberately blunt stage routine. Bloodhound Gang perform in a small venue while an all-female, nude production crew handles the shoot around them. As the performance continues, the musicians lose focus, glance toward the crew, and descend into increasingly juvenile distraction. The gag peaks with a sudden visual reversal: the men are not staring at the women after all, but at something far less glamorous. It is cheap, direct, and knowingly absurd.

Factoids & Trivia

  • Chasey Lain herself does not appear in the video, despite having reportedly agreed to take part. Her absence became part of the story surrounding the song.
  • Jimmy Pop said the song began after he saw Lain in a clothing advertisement and learned that she worked in adult films. He thought the contrast between an ordinary fan letter and an outrageous request would make a good joke.
  • Lain recorded a spoken response, "R.S.V.P.," for the album before hearing the finished song. After hearing the lyrics, she wanted no further involvement with the band.
  • The video was produced by 1171 Production Group and filmed in Los Angeles. It was released in 2000, following the success of the band's album "Hooray for Boobies."
  • In April 2023, Jimmy Pop acknowledged that some of his old comments about Lain were unfair. He said he had been upset that she missed the video shoot and expressed regret for having criticized her.

Lyrics

Dear Chasey Lain
I wrote to explain
I'm your biggest fan
I just wanted to ask
Could I eat your ass?
Write back as soon as you can

You've had a lotta dick
Had a lotta dick
I've had a lotta time
Had a lotta time
You've had a lotta dick Chasey
But you ain't had mine
