Talk:The Bad Touch

Talker at the beginning
Who is the guy in the beginning that says: "Haha! Well now, we call this the act of mating..." I know it sounds like a well known TV/Radio "Sex Therapist" but was wondering if there is any positive references to who it is. Billy Nair 00:06, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

It also kind of sounds like Kevin Spacey — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.191.220.54 (talk) 05:19, 2 December 2014 (UTC)


 * I thought it sounded a lot like Tom Lehrer, but I've never found anything confirming who it is anywhere. 2604:3D09:167F:FDA0:C8DA:621B:6CD5:C22A (talk) 00:41, 8 December 2020 (UTC)

It's from an audio called "Where Did You Come From (20th Century Fox TFM 3107) - Art Linkletter". It's available on Youtube (they clipped 3 different parts) Anissmansouri (talk) 22:30, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

Music based on?
Where was it documented that the music is based on In The Night? I've heard that song before and the similarities are vague at best. If anything, dance music fans should know it as "Disco Hit", an obscure 80's dance track from Europe by Blockhouse. Little info exists about who they were. To hear a snippet of it, go to Ishkur's Guide to Electronic Music and find it under "Italo Disco". Interface76 18:37, 21 June 2007 (UTC)Interface76
 * No, I'm pretty sure it's "In the Night." I can hear it really clearly.--76.246.176.32 (talk) 22:14, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Sample
Should it be mentioned that there is a sampling of Metallica's "For Whom the Bell Tolls?" pud--2.18.98 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.86.18.192 (talk) 22:25, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Didn't this reach number 1?
I thought this came number 1 in the UK? c_falco 16:35 (GMT), 24th March 2008

Release date
"It was released in May 1999 as the lead single from their album Hooray for Boobies. It was released a year later, in the US and UK." - when was it released? May 1999 or May 2000? A year after the album? Or what? 87.112.54.212 (talk) 18:33, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

The song is not from Europe
"The song is not a euro-disco it is a disco tune but Bloodhound Gang is from American not Europe". So please just put disco or dance-pop or maybe dance. LucaElliot2 (talk) 11:56, 17 June 2014 (UTC) LucaElliot2

Lyricism section
The edit Special:Diff/847031514 (by User:Andrzejbanas) and summary "removed trivial unsourced or poorly sourced observations about the son", removed the following content, which at the time had formed the majority of the article contents:

The main chorus and anthem of the song is the stanza "You and me, baby, ain't nothin' but mammals; So let's do it like they do on the Discovery Channel", referring to the nature documentaries shown on the Discovery television channel in the 1990s.

The lyrics are composed almost entirely of double entendre, which include a number of references to late-1990s or topical North American popular culture. In the first verse these are: lack of precipitation leading to drought in the United States and specifically the state of Texas; risqué lyrics from musician Prince; Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert from television film-review programme At the Movies giving "two thumbs up"; restaurant-chain Waffle House and their hash browns foodstuffs; the delivery speed of courier firm FedEx; the stock-price of The Coca-Cola Company; and daylight saving time change during the Northern-hemisphere spring-time and its relation to nocturnal penile tumescence.

The second verse continues alluding to: the lost Egyptian Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa and early Egyptian hieroglyphs; the southern Pacific Ocean; US-National Weather Service weather alerts distributed as a small craft advisory to marine vessels; oceanic high-tides; the boardgame Battleship; automated coffeemaker manufacturer Mr. Coffee; juvenile exploration through playing doctor; television programme-in-programme Tool Time, from sitcom Home Improvement; country music singer Lyle Lovett; and science-fiction series The X-Files.

Working through the Genius citation (also removed) appears to support all of the statements in this section. , could you give an idea of what additional citations might be useful? —Sladen (talk) 12:49, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Hello, its not that the source was not stated appropriately, perhaps my edit summary was poor. Its more so that the Rap Genius and Genius sources are all from user-submitted theories and interpretations and not published sources. Its basically the equivilant of citing another Wiki online, which is something we do not do on wikipedia. Andrzejbanas (talk) 13:37, 27 February 2019 (UTC)

Not a single reference to the "Discovery Channel" song
You know Wikipedia is failing when the song that's known as "The Discovery Channel song" doesn't even have the words anywhere in the article. --Bobak (talk) 02:23, 25 December 2019 (UTC)
