Released in the summer of 2001, "Bodies" has an anthemic, repetitive [[chorus]] of "Let the bodies hit the floor!"

Drowning Pool [[frontman]] [[Dave Williams (musician)|Dave Williams]] stated on ''[[Uranium (TV series)|Uranium]]'' that the song is about [[murdering]] people but that it has clearly been misinterpreted. Williams elaborated in a 2001 interview: |

[[Category:United States Army logistics facilities]] |
|||
:"CJ came up with the riff, and I thought that was cool and I said, 'Let the bodies hit the floor,' and they looked at me and said, 'That’s pretty cool.' We just built it around that hook and the rest fell in place. It’s about my perspective when I look out and see the pit. It’s about forgetting everything that has happened to you that week, leave your bullshit at the door and get it all out. But you have to have respect for the others in the pit. If you push them down, you have to pick them back up. I’m not going to get behind the violence thing, it is violent, but there is a certain amount of respect and a code." |

After the [[September 11, 2001 attacks]], radio stations owned by media conglomerate [[Clear Channel]] voluntarily refused to play "Bodies," or [[List of songs deemed inappropriate by Clear Channel following the September 11, 2001 attacks|several other similarly popular songs]]. |
|||
A famous quote from Thomas Beetlestone was : " i love this song. it makes me think of men and what i would lik to do to such men. i love chocolate. expecially when it melts ;)" |
|||
This song was also on a compilation CD released by Footwear company Jorneys along with the song "[[Start the Commotion]]" by [[The Wiseguys]]. |
|||
==Music video== |
|||
Much like the song's radio success, the "Bodies" [[music video]] found significant airplay on various music channels in 2001. Directed by Glen Bennett, it has the band performing in what appears to be a [[mental institution]], with Williams screaming the lyrics into the ear of a man strapped to a chair. Clips of the video are featured in the title animation for the music program ''[[Uranium (TV series)|Uranium]]''. |
