One Fierce Beer Coaster is a December 3, 1996 (see 1996 in music) album by alternative rock band The Bloodhound Gang. The album includes one of their best-known singles, "Fire Water Burn", a diatribe against a white boy who attempts, and fails, to act like a black thug. Its chorus is taken from "The Roof Is on Fire" by Rock Master Scott & the Dynamic Three. blank">Rock-Master-Scott--The-Dynamic-Three
Among the tracks on the album include "It's Tricky", a _Run DMC cover (featuring the rapping debut of DJ Q-Ball; this album was also the first to feature him as a member of the band), and "Boom" which mentions "The Bloodhound Gang and Rob Van Winkle, together on this track." Rob Van Winkle is the real name of Vanilla Ice, who raps on the track with Jimmy Pop. Vanilla Ice later took his part of the song and expanded it to his own called "Prozac" on his album Hard To Swallow.
One Fierce Beer Coaster was originally released on Republic Records, which is the label the band previously released material on when it was under the name Cheese Factory Records. Due to word-of-mouth, however, DGC Records picked up on the band after two months.
The original release featured two extra tracks, one was "Yellow Fever" which was about having sex with Asian women and later deemed too offensive by the label, and the other was a hidden track on position number 69 on the original release, it consisted of an audio collage featuring a televangelist, Howard Stern talking about peanut butter, a news broadcast on the disease Lupus (an obvious reference to Lüpüs Thünder), and other assorted oddities. It ends with the sound of Jimmy Pop farting. It also came with an actual beer coaster to go with the name of the album.
