Legacy[edit]
Brontosaurus was released in 2002, and later promoted on The Bob & Tom Show. The album was met with positive acclaim.
"Enormous Penis" is a song about a person who cheers himself up from looking at his penis. The track has gained popularity in the group's post-disbandment years as an internet meme due to its vulgar humor.
In 2013, the children's movie Despicable Me 2 featured "Another Irish Drinking Song"[2] with lyrics in the dialect of Minions, a main character in the Despicable Me franchise.
