2000 studio album by Limp Bizkit

Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water is the third studio album by American nu metal band Limp Bizkit. It was released on October 17, 2000, through Flip and Interscope Records.

The first part of the title is a slang term for the human anus. Hot Dog Flavored Water is an in joke started by Wes Borland at a truck stop while the band was on tour, where Borland saw bottles of Crystal Geyser flavored water, and made a joke about having meat or hot dog flavors. Durst himself refers to the album name in three songs. First, "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 the naming of the album that, "Fred calls himself Chocolate Starfish, because people call him an asshole all the time." Numerous critics and fans speculated that the name was a humorous parody of Smashing Pumpkins' 1995 album Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness. Reviewers have often interpreted Durst's lyrics in "Hot Dog" as an insult to Reznor. The lyrical references to Reznor's music led to him getting a co writer credit, which Reznor said he approved as the record was going to print as not to hold up the release. "Livin' It Up" samples "Life in the Fast Lane" by the American rock band Eagles. The lyrics of "My Generation" reference "My Generation" by The Who and "Welcome to the Jungle" by Guns N' Roses.

The track "Getcha Groove On" used an uncredited sample of music that is played during the Aerial Trapeze Act of Cirque Du Soleil's Cirque Reinvente. In the September 2008 issue of Kerrang!, Wes Borland told the magazine: "We actually got sued over this piece of shit. There was some sort of sample used in it that someone didn't get full clearance for, so we ended up getting into some serious trouble for a little while." When the album was later released onto streaming services, the track "Getcha Groove On (Dirt Road Mix)", from their remix album New Old Songs, replaced the original version.

To generate attention for the album’s release; the band’s management group The Firm hosted a large scale party at the Playboy Mansion in Southern California on the night of the album’s release. The band aired a full hour long special on MTV with numerous celebrities present; such as Chino Moreno from Deftones, David Silveria from Korn, Mark McGrath from Sugar Ray, Brandon Boyd from Incubus, Ja Rule and more. Durst had initially approached MTV producers with his proposal for the special, in which they later allowed him to cohost per his own request.
