NOFX - Pump Up The Valuum [2000]

Pump Up The Valuum is the eighth studio album by the American punk rock band NOFX. It was released on June 13, 2000 through Epitaph Records. It was NOFX's last album released through Epitaph. The title is a play on words, and is purposely misspelled to avoid a lawsuit, similar to the one The Melvins faced for their album, Lysol, in that it referenced a trademarked brand-name, in this case Valium. This is explained in the 45 Or 46 Songs... album booklet.
The initial song, "And Now for Something Completely Similar", is a parody of the famous saying "And Now for Something Completely Different" from Monty Python skits. As a pun, the intro sounds very similar to Linoleum from the band's 1994 album Punk in Drublic, right down to El Hefe warming up his voice[1] before the song begins, while the solo bass part echoes Shadows of Defeat from Good Riddance.
