About Bodies
"Bodies" (often incorrectly called "Let the Bodies Hit the Floor") is a song by the American rock band Drowning Pool and also is the lead single from their debut album Sinner. Released in May 2001, "Bodies" is Drowning Pool's signature song and has been featured in various films, TV programs, and advertisem*nts since its release. It was also the theme song for the 2001 WWF SummerSlam pay-per-view event, as well as that of the ECW brand in 2006 to early 2008. During 2001, the song got popular, but the song was taken off radio stations after the September 11 attacks because the song was considered inappropriate in the wake of the terrorist attack. An early version of "Bodies" appeared in their EP Pieces of Nothing, the version omits the lyrics in the bridge and features a significantly greater amount of screaming. Neil Cicierega's 2017 album of mashups, Mouth Moods, features a mashup between "Bodies" and Hot Butter's "Popcorn" and , called "Floor Corn".more »
