History Music / Mudhoney

** Their cover of "Hate the Police" inserts the band's name into the song:

** The title of "FDK (Fearless Doctor Killer)" is a nod to BadBrains' "FVK (Fearless Vampire Killers)".

Mudhoney is a {{Grunge}} band formed by former Green River frontman Mark Arm. Along with Music/{{Nirvana}}, Mudhoney is the main {{Trope Codifier}} of {{grunge}}. Despite this they received little popularity or media attention besides their college radio hit "[[AntiLoveSong Touch Me I'm Sick]]". However Mudhoney has a strong grassroots fanbase, and they've even managed to record eight albums without any mainstream success. They continue to perform live, despite the waning of grunge's popularity.

* TheCameo: [[{{Music/Nirvana}} Krist Novoselic]] is seen sitting at the bar in the "Suck You Dry" music video.
* HiddenTrack: ''My Brother The Cow'' has the unlisted independent track "woC ehT rehtorB yM", which is a slightly abridged version of the entire album played in reverse.

* SelfDeprecation: The PerformanceVideo for "Suck You Dry", where they're playing a sparsely attended "Ten Years Of Grunge" event at a small bar in 1998 (the song was released in 1992). The audience is mainly sitting by the bar looking bored, while the one apparent diehard fan in attendance pogos and slam-dances in front of the stage by himself.

** "Tales Of Terror" is named after a HardcorePunk band Mudhoney were influenced by (Mark Arm's former band Green River had covered the Tales Of Terror song "Ozzy").
** The title of "FDK (Fearless Doctor Killer)" is a nod to BadBrains' "FVK (Fearless Vampire Killers)".
* SingerNamedrop: In "Freak Momma", a song featuring Music/{{Sir Mix A Lot}}, Mix-A-Lot works the band name into a pun: "I wanna get you in the mud, honey".

* ToiletHumour: The [[NoTitle untitled]] fifteenth track on ''Piece Of Cake'' consists of the band playing a simple repeating riff for 30 seconds, with fart sound effects (possibly achieved via WhoopeeCushion) played in time with the music. The final fart sound effect then segues into the start of "Ritzville".
* VisualPun: The artwork to ''Piece Of Cake'' includes a cake slice sitting in a urinal... Thus, a literal "urinal cake".

* SpringtimeForHitler: When they were asked to write a song for a specific scene of the movie ''With Honors'', they offered an instrumental outtake, but the studio insisted they submit a song with lyrics. So they added some very repetitive throwaway lyrics to the song, gave it the TitleOnlyChorus of "Run Shithead Run", and sent in both the instrumental and vocal versions, figuring this would result in the instrumental being used after all. Instead, "Run Shithead Run" appeared complete with vocals both in the movie and on the soundtrack album... However, the band also noted that they never got another soundtrack offer again.

** Similarly, Music/{{Nirvana}}'s goofy cover of Music/{{Kiss}}' "Do You Love Me?" replaces the line "all the money that I make" with "all the Mudhoney that I make."

* IGotARock: "Overblown" references the original example from WesternAnimation/ItsTheGreatPumpkinCharlieBrown with the line You got a sack full of candy / And all I got was a rock."

* SingerNamedrop: In "Freak Mamma", a song featuring SirMixALot, Mix-A-Lot works the band name into a pun: "I wanna get you in the mud, honey".

* {{Mean Character Nice Actor}} : Despte the angsty lyrics and the snotty, aggressive vocals, many interviewers have pointed out that Mark Arm is a very amiable and friendly dude.
