The extensive references to Reznor's music led to him getting a co-writer credit, which he acknowledged as a simple case of clearance to not hold back Durst's album. Reviewers have often interpreted Durst's lyrics in "Hot Dog" as an insult to Reznor. Durst said he was a big fan of Nine Inch Nails, who inspired his music, although Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor had made negative remarks about Durst during that period. The chorus references the Nine Inch Nails songs " Closer", " The Perfect Drug" and " Burn". The song "Hot Dog" features the word " fuck" 46 times as pointed out by Durst himself in the lyrics "if I say fuck 2 more times that's 46 fucks in this fucked up rhyme" which is also the most profanity contained on any Limp Bizkit song. The longtime working title for the album had been "Limpdependence Day", but this was abandoned after the band failed to meet the deadline for their original intended release date of July 4. 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" ), "Hot Dog", where he tells his detractors to "Kiss my starfish, my chocolate starfish," and "Rollin' (Air Raid Vehicle)" where he mentions "Chocolate Starfish" in the introduction.
ĭurst himself refers to the album name in three songs.
However, Hot Dog Flavored Water is an inside 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. The first part of the title is a scatological reference to the appearance of the human anus ( Chocolate Starfish).
