This is a terrific follow-up to Jimmy Pop Ali's breakthrough album, ONE FIERCE BEER COASTER, and one of the singer/songwriter's most intriguing collections of songs yet. HOORAY FOR BOOBIES is a collection of tongue-and-cheek tracks that includes such songs as "Vagina," "Mope," and "A Lap Dance Is So Much Better When the Stripper Is Crying." The clever writer works his cutting-edge humor over rocking instrumental backgrounds.

The jewel of HOORAY FOR BOOBIES is a slick song called "Bad Touch," which plumbs the depths of the sorts of mating scenes common on the Discovery Channel. The track has touches of European synth pop mixed with a base of keyboards and drum programming. Other standouts include "Most Likely to Suck," "Take the Long Way Home," and the power-pop guitar explosion "Hell Yeah."

What the critics say...

Q (1/01, p.90) - Included in Q's "50 Best Albums of 2000".
Q (8/00, p.114) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...[They] remain capable of delivering devastating shafts of Bill Hicks-style wit one minute and evoking disgusted contempt the next....all sounding painfully Beastie Boys circa 1987..."
Alternative Press (12/99, pp.90-1) - 3 out of 5 - "...a record with more tracks than IQ points. [Jimmy Pop] Ali calls up his mother and asks her what rhymes with 'vagina.' He demands bestial sex, oral satisfaction and Norwegian lesbians....If any of the above makes you laugh, buy the...album..."
