“Hooker with a Penis” is a song by the American rock band Tool. It was released on September 17, 1996, as the seventh track off their second studio album, Ænima. The song is the shortest non-segue track on the album and one of its heaviest; lyrically, the song is uncharacteristically straightforward, in contrast to the band’s more progressive works.
The song begins with a story about a fan who accuses Tool of selling out. When asked if he is “sucking up to The Man“, Keenan casually responds that everyone is “The Man”. The intensity of the vocals and instruments are pushed to an almost comical level as proof that they have not lost their edge. One such lyric points out that “all you read and wear or see and hear on TV is a product begging for your fatass dirty dollar”.[1][2]
