Hefty Fine - Title and Artwork

Title and Artwork

The cover depicts a large, naked Caucasian man, whose genitals are obscured.

The title and album art each have unique stories. Originally, the album was going to be titled Heavy Flow, but Jimmy Pop discovered that there was a Moby song of the same name. Guitarist Lupus Thunder and Pop have expressed their distaste for Moby in the past. After scrapping Heavy Flow, Lupus Thunder and Jimmy Pop began trading emails that featured the recurring gag "now that's a hefty fine." The band later realized that Hefty Fine would make a good name for a record. Lupus Thunder, in an interview with News-Times said, "it just clicked in his head and like, 'Hefty fine? Hold on a minute.'" Bassist "Evil" Jared Hasselhoff and Lupus Thunder have also gone on the record stating that the name could be a play on words meaning an attractive obese person.

As for the cover art, there are several stories. According to "Evil" Jared Hasselhoff, the cover art was originally going to feature an obese African American woman, but Geffen insisted that the band change it. According to former guitarist Lupus Thunder, the cover model, Carlin Langley, was chosen out of several applicants. Potential models were asked to send in a picture and a bio, but Carlin Langley sent in a photograph of himself performing fellatio on another man. The band was impressed by Langley's sense of humor and hired him. Carlin Langley went on to post in the official Bloodhound Gang forums, under the user name "Hefty Fine."

The title "Hefty Fine" was actually thought of when The Bloodhoung Gang visited Bam Margera during the "Scavenger Hunt" episode where they racked up 10,000 dollars worth of fines.
