"Hooray for Boobies" is The Bloodhound Gang's third album. It was released by Interscope Records in Europe on October 4, 1999, but its U.S. release was delayed until February 29,2000. It was produced by Jimmy Pop and recorded at Dome Studios in Royersford, Pennsylvania. The delay of the U.S. release was caused by rights issues with the songs "Take The Long Way Home" and "Right Turn Clyde". These songs did not appear on the Australian or initial European release of the album.

The album's title is attributed to Parry Gripp of Nerf Herder (a credit he vehemently denies), who also sings harmony vocals on "I Hope You Die" and toured with the band on their previous record.

"Hooray for Boobies" is the final album with drummer Spanky G, who left mid-production. The song "Yummy Down On This" features drummer Darrin Pfeiffer of Goldfinger.

The final song, "Along Comes Mary," was never intended to be on the album, but Geffen insisted the band include it. Very rare early promo versions of the album exclude the track.

The "clean" version of the CD is titled simply "Hooray" and features an alternate cover image of a cow's udder.

The track "The Inevitable Return of the Great White Dope" appeared on the "Scary Movie" soundtrack.

"A Lap Dance Is So Much Better When the Stripper Is Crying" is a parody of the narrative "trucker songs" of Red Sovine.
