About the album

The first part of the title is a scatological reference to the appearance of the human anus (Chocolate Starfish). However Hot Dog Flavored Water is an inside joke started by Wes Borland at a truckstop while the band was on tour, where Wes noticed a jar of pickled eggs, and made a joke about doing the same thing with hot dogs (he took it further when he suggested they should bottle the water and sell it, hence 'Hot dog flavored water'). The cover art, which features an actual chocolate starfish amidst a field of hot dogs, is perhaps an allusion to anal sex.

Durst himself refers to the album name in both Livin' It Up, where he declares that "The chocolate starfish is my man Fred Durst," (Wes Borland has stated in an interview when questioned on naming of the album that Chocolate Starfish is a "weird nickname Fred has for himself") and Hot Dog, where he tells his detractors to "Kiss my starfish, my chocolate starfish, punk." Both lyrics make the metaphor in question quite clear.

The album features several high-profile guests, incuding rapper Xzibit on "Getcha Groove On", Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver frontman Scott Weiland on "Hold On", and rappers Redman, DMX and Method Man, including production by Swizz Beats on "Rollin' (Urban Assault Vehicle)", which is a remix of "Rollin' (Air Raid Vehicle)". Actor Ben Stiller appears in the hidden track of "Outro" as well.

"My Generation"'s video clip featured a raucous attitude that is displayed at concerts. Limp Bizkit were surrounded in a steel fence/cage in which audience members climbed up and jumped off.

"My Way" was the official theme song of WWF WrestleMania X-Seven in 2001. The WWF (now known as World Wrestling Entertainment or WWE) used Limp Bizkit's "Rollin'" tune to signal the arrival of one of the company's greatest and legendary Wrestlers, The Undertaker. He used the song in the PlayStation 2 game WWF SmackDown! Just Bring It and the Xbox game WWF RAW, both of which featured Fred Durst as a "hidden" playable character.

The song "Hot Dog" is notorious for featuring the word "fuck" 48 times. The chorus,"You wanna fuck me like an animal/You'd like to burn from the inside", is taken directly from the Nine Inch Nails' infamous hit Closer. Although during this period, a feud existed between Trent Reznor and Fred Durst, Reznor still cleared the sample for this song. The usage of it is seen as a tribute to Reznor, not as an insult, although this is often misinterpreted.

"Cum On My Shoes", "Nuthugger", "Karma", "Naive", and "Asleeping" were some of the original titles for songs on the album. None of them made the cut. They also were supposed to feature Kid Rock and the nu metal band KoRn.
