Limp Bizkit, New Old Songs Full Album Zip
Kassim Bisaillon
Three Dollar Bill, Y'all (stylized as Three Dollar Bill, Yall$) is the debut studio album by American nu metal band Limp Bizkit, released on July 1, 1997, through Flip and Interscope Records. It established the band's trademark sound with the singles "Counterfeit", which was influenced by hip hop and heavy metal, and "Faith", a cover of the song of the same name by George Michael. Limp Bizkit's rearrangement of the song incorporated heavier guitar playing by Wes Borland and scratching by DJ Lethal.
Three Dollar Bill, Y'all$ was produced by Ross Robinson, who was introduced to the band through Korn bassist Reginald "Fieldy" Arvizu, who persuaded Robinson to listen to Limp Bizkit's demo. Robinson was impressed by the band's motivation and sound, and agreed to work with them. The album showcased an intentionally abrasive, angry sound which the band felt would attract a fanbase.
Wes Borland left Limp Bizkit preceding a successful performance opening for Korn at the Dragonfly in Hollywood due to a disagreement with Fred Durst, Limp Bizkit signed with Mojo, a subsidiary of MCA Records. While heading to California to record their first album, the band wrecked their van, leading Durst to rehire Borland.[4][why?] After a dispute with Mojo, Limp Bizkit signed with Flip, a subsidiary of Interscope Records.[4]
Reginald Arvizu of the band Korn persuaded Ross Robinson to listen to the band's demo, which consisted of the songs "Pollution", "Counterfeit" and "Stalemate". Robinson finally listened to the tape after it was praised by Robinson's girlfriend. Robinson was impressed by the band's motivation and sound, and produced their debut, which was recorded at Indigo Ranch.[4] During the recording sessions, the band recorded an early version of their song "I'm Broke", but it was decided that the song didn't fit on this album. It was subsequently reworked and recorded for their followup, Significant Other.[5]
Continuing the band's policy of using titles that would hopefully repulse potential listeners, the band named the album by using part of the phrase "queer as a three dollar bill" and adding the word "Y'all" at the end to embody Florida slang into the title, consequently giving the album the name Three Dollar Bill, Y'all.[4]
Limp Bizkit was inspired to write "Counterfeit" after local bands began to copy their style. According to Borland, "They saw this little thing we built [...] and they were like, 'Oh, let's get baggy pants and dress like kind of hip-hoppy and, you know, play heavy metal and rap.' [...] five or six bands just popped up out of nowhere that became these, you know, groups that were trying to sound like us. It was ridiculous. That's where the song 'Counterfeit' came from."[4] Durst said "Counterfeit" is about people who try to fit in and change who they are.[4]
The mood and tone set by Robinson in the studio allowed the band to improvise; a recording of the band improvising appeared as the last track on the album, "Everything".[4] The recording of the album also allowed the band to showcase the addition of DJ Lethal, and experimental guitar playing by Borland, who played without a guitar pick, performing with right hand fingers.
On the song "Stuck", Borland used a sustain pedal in the first bar, and muted riffs in the second bar.[6] Borland's playing on this album features octave shapes, and choppy, eighth-note rhythms, sometimes accompanied by muting his strings with his left hand, creating a percussive sound.[6] Borland also made use of unevenly accented syncopated sixteenth notes and hypnotic, droning licks to create a disorienting effect.[6]
Despite the success of live performances of the band's cover of George Michael's song "Faith", Robinson was opposed to recording the cover, and tried to persuade the band not to play it on the album. However, the final recording, which incorporated heavier guitar playing and drumming, as well as DJ scratching, impressed Robinson.[4] Robinson also bonded with Borland, who Robinson perceived as not taking the band seriously.[4]
American rock band Tool provided a strong influence in shaping the album's sound, particularly in the song "Nobody Loves Me", which contains a breakdown in which Durst copied the singing of Maynard James Keenan and the intro which has elements of Undertow hidden track "Disgustipated".[4] Durst said "Nobody Loves Me" is about his mother: "When my mom used to ground me and I got upset, she'd say, 'Oh, nobody loves me. I'm going to go eat worms.' So it was like this saying that I used to get pounded with by my mother. She had this little cross-snitch on the wall that said 'Nobody loves me. Everybody hates me. I think I'll go eat worms.' Here's how I look at it: since nobody loves me, I don't owe you a thing."[4]
"Indigo Flow", named after the studio Three Dollar Bill, Y'all was recorded in (Indigo Ranch Studio), was Limp Bizkit's gratitude toward those who helped the band get a record deal and make music professionally.[4]
The completed album featured an abrasive, angry sound which Borland later stated was part of Limp Bizkit's plan to get noticed. "The best way to get our message across is through shock value. That's what grabs people [...] getting people to react by showing something negative, hoping something positive will come out of it. Trying to stay in reality."[4] Three Dollar Bill, Y'all has been described as nu metal,[7] rap metal,[8] and rapcore.[9]
The music video for "Counterfeit" was released in 1997 and was played on music channels like The Box and M2.[13] Limp Bizkit performed on MTV's 1998 Spring Break special Fashionably Loud, which brought the band attention.[14] The album's popularity grew in 1999 as the band's mainstream profile began to increase. In March of that year, it went platinum in the United States, and it eventually went double platinum in July 2001.[15] As of October 1999, Three Dollar Bill, Y'all sold 1.8 million copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.[16] The music video for "Faith" received heavy rotation on MTV and ended up on the popular MTV show Total Request Live.[16]
In 1998, controversy erupted when it was revealed Interscope paid $5,000 to guarantee that a Portland radio station play the song "Counterfeit" 50 times, preceded and concluded with an announcement that the air time was paid for by Interscope.[17][18] The paid air time was criticized by the media, who saw it as "payola".[17][18] The band's manager Jeff Kwatinetz later termed the plan as a "brilliant marketing move".[17] Durst stated, "It worked, but it's not that cool of a thing."[17] Despite criticism, the paid air time did not increase sales, which stood at only 170,000 in early 1998. Much of the album's resulting sales instead came from consistent touring by the band.[17] Durst directed a music video for the band's single "Faith" in promotion for its appearance in the film Very Bad Things, but was unsatisfied with it, and directed a second video which paid tribute to tourmates like Primus, Deftones and Mtley Cre, who appeared in the video.[17] This payola controversy hurt Limp Bizkit's image.[16]
Three Dollar Bill, Y'all received controversy for its lyrical content, with the lyrics being labeled often as misogynistic. Durst said: "That's because I said the words whore and bitch. My whole record is about my girlfriend who put me through the wringer for three years and my insecurity about it. It became this big thing."[19] Durst also said: "Somebody may hear the word 'bitch' on our songs, but I love women. I will always be ready for my soul mate to fall into my lap. So those people who think it's derogatory towards women are the people that aren't listening to the words."[16]

This is bugging me for some time now. The album "Chocolate Starfish And The Hot Dog Flavoured Water" features the Dirt Road Remix of the song "Getcha Groove on". The original album though features the original song and not the Dirt Road Remix. The Dirt Road Remix was only released later on the remix album. I can't find the original song in the album nor anywhere else on Spotify.
I went to AllMusic, as they list on artist discography pages how many releases there have been with a given release of a band / artist. You can find all the releases of this titled release here from this link: -starfish-and-the-hot-dog-flavored-water-mw0000544330/release...
Seems from a wiki page search for the album title, that wiki only shows a remix version of the album available, and is not listing any content with an original track listing pre-remix version available of this release. Could possible be that the original tracks the band did originally is now out of print, and either the band or the label opted to go with remixed versions of this particular track and/or all tracks have been remixed for a later re-release remix version of this release you are looking for. _Starfish_and_the_Hot_Dog_Flavored_Water
I was able to find two releases available to me from that Limp Bizkit titled released from their artist page, I have provided both of them below. You can check the songs out from each release, each release has that song and seems to have different time stamps, might see if there is a difference between the two tracks?
Now what you said about Wikipedia confused me. I'm not sure if i understood you correctly but wikipedia DOES list the album tracks with the original song and NOT the remix. In fact that's all. I don't see any release on wiki with the DirtRoad mix
As to the spotify links you posted: (now it gets complicated^^) when i scroll through the tracklist here (i mean on this spotify community page on the embedded spotify player) i see both links exactly the same
Ah OK I see what you mean now. Not exactly sure why that release available to you with that release year, ended up with a track that was remixed many years later. Seems to be a meta data labelling mistake perhaps with the release you are seeing. Spotify users can report these errors by the information below. I ended up getting some information confused and crossed up when I made my post, my bad.
