The Hippos were an Americanrock band formed in 1995 in Los Angeles, California, and disbanded in 2002. During the band's lifetime they released 3 full-length albums. Their early work is best classified as part of the third wave of ska music, or as ska-punk, though in the later years of their career the band transitioned to a more pop rock sound utilizing synthesizers.
The Hippos is the third and final album by the Los Angeles, Californiarock band The Hippos, released in 2003 by Olympic Records and Fanscape Music. It was released posthumously after their breakup in 2000. The material for the album had been recorded in 2000 after the departure of original drummer Kyle Briggs, but even while working on it the other band members had begun to drift into other musical projects and eventually the album was shelved and the group disbanded. However, due to numerous requests from fans in the years immediately following the material was resurrected and released independently, mostly at the behest of lead singer Ariel Rechtshaid. It was promoted as "the album they wanted their fans to hear" and its cover art includes the message "Suonava tra: Marzo del 1996 e Settembre del 2000. Grazie per tutto. Fine," which from Italian loosely translates to "Created music from March 1996 to September 2000. Thanks for everything. The end."
Musically the album completed the band's transition from traditional ska and ska-punk to synthpop, almost completely severing ties to the southern California ska scene from which they had spawned. It relies heavily on the use of synthesizers and keyboards as opposed to the horn-structured arrangements of their early releases. To illustrate this the album's cover shows several analog synthesizers including the Korg VC-10 Vocoder and ARP 2600 Semi-modular Synthesizer.

Why must you pick on me? Have you no sympathy? I'm just trying to get to school. I lack popularity, no friends to ride with me. So I'm alone in the car pool (lane).

Please, I won't bother you so don't bother me. ";Sorry son but that's what I've got to do."; I'm tired of these stupid rules. I've got to waste my day at traffic school, and on top of that I've got to pay a fine. The CHP likes to pick on me. They've got no sympathy. They're nothing but fat red neck swine. (Chorus)
