Review

The title of NOFX's White Trash, Two Heebs and a Bean is a pretty fair indicator of what's going on in the grooves -- specifically, tongue-in-cheek, politically incorrect forays into America's pancultural society. A SoCal punk band that recalls both the eclecticism and attitude of Camper Van Beethoven, NOFX rips through much more than standard-issue thrash; they transform Minor Threat's "Straight Edge" into a blues song with fake B.B. King vocals, go ska for the wry character study "Bob," and examine lesbian lifestyles with surprising maturity on "Liza and Louise." Not quite so understanding is "Johnny Appleseed," which pokes fun at the very concept of cultural diversity and is sung in a Hispanic accent by guitarist El Hefe. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide

White Trash, Two Heebs and a Bean is the fourth album by NOFX, released on November 5, 1992. It is the first album since El Hefe joined the band in 1991.

The 1994 movie The Chase features several tracks from this album. "Please Play This Song on the Radio" plays during the end credits.

The title was originally going to be White Trash, Two Kikes, And A Spic, tongue in cheek humour relating to the ethnic/religious backgrounds of the band members. However, Melvin's mother heard the name, she told his grandmother, and she didn't like the name. She made Melvin feel guilty and so they eventually changed the name to its current title.

All songs were written by Fat Mike, except "Straight Edge", originally by Minor Threat. "Straight Edge" was NOFX's first experiment with jazz.

Music videos were made for the songs 'Stickin' in My Eye' and, 'Bob'. [1] [2]

"Soul Doubt" is featured as a playable song in the music video game Guitar Hero World Tour, in the final bonus set in Career mode.
