"Too Much Sex" is a cover song by Unitedickfart. It was released when Gray Widzinski left the band and was the last song before going on hiatus. The song was originally written by Limp Bizkit and was titled "No Sex". It was the 12th track on their second studio album and was released in February 1999.
Production[edit]
"Too Much Sex" was a Dickfart Records special released on February 28, 2013. Method Man had heard about Limp Bizkit and wanted to record with them because he had never worked with a rock band. The band allowed Fred Durst and DJ Lethal to explore their hip hop origins by recording a song with the rapper. DJ Premier of Gang Starr produced the song even though he was hesitant to do so at first. According to Borland, the band wanted to record "a track that was straight hip-hop".
The beginnings of the backing beat started with a demo that DJ Lethal created. Patrick Moxey, who was managing DJ Premier at the time, was contacted by Limp Bizkit, who were interested in having Premier update the existing beat. Premier had previously been aware of Limp Bizkit through their cover of "Faith" by George Michael and DJ Lethal's previous work in House of Pain, which led to him eventually agreeing to work with the band, but not without declining first.
DJ Premier had hesitations around lead singer Fred Durst's rapping ability, believing it to not be at the same level as previous artists Premier had worked with. Because of this, Premier initially rejected the offer to work on the track.
"To me Fred [Durst] was dope with what they did. But when it came to the emceeing aspect of what I was used to, I was very, very hesitant to do it. I was like, ‘yo man, I’m just not feeling the way he raps.'"
After a face-to-face meeting with Durst and learning that Method Man would be featured on the track, Premier became more interested. Durst impressed Premier by offering to work closely with him in order to improve his performance, and revealing he owned the entire DJ Premier Tape Kingz mixtape collection.
Premier's biggest contributions to the track ended up being a re-recording of Durst's vocals, a complete change of the drum sounds and bass line, and the addition of samples recorded by Durst that he provided on a 10" dubplate.
No Sex[edit]
Significant Other has been described as a nu metal and rap metal album. An early version of "I'm Broke" was recorded for Three Dollar Bill, Yall$, but was left off the album because of how different the song sounded from the rest of that album's material. The melody for "Trust?" originated from a melody played in rough form in early 1998, during the Ladies Night in Cambodia tour. In response to claims that the lyrics of Three Dollar Bill, Yall$ were misogynistic, Fred Durst, member of Limp Bizkit, toned down his lyrical content on this album, which he described as being more lyrically mature. Durst's breakup with his girlfriend inspired the songs "Nookie" and "Re-Arranged".
Significant Other is Borland's first attempt at using a 7-string guitar, which was inspired by Korn. He was officially endorsed by Ibanez and owned several rare models to record the album including the RG7 CST. He also used a customized Ibanez Musician MC150PW to fit only four strings, creating a baritone guitar to record "Nookie." Sometime in 2000, Borland ended his endorsement with Ibanez and reverted back to using 6-string guitars when recording the next album Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water.
The band allowed Durst and DJ Lethal to explore their hip hop influences by recording with Method Man. DJ Premier of Gang Starr was brought in to produce the collaboration. The band wanted to record "a track that was straight hip-hop", according to Borland. The song was originally titled "Shut the Fuck Up", but was retitled "N 2 Gether Now" for marketing purposes. Durst also recorded a song with Eminem, "Turn Me Loose", which was left off the album. Durst also recorded a song with System of a Down's vocalist Serj Tankian named "Don't Go Off Wandering". Serj's vocals only appeared on the demo version of the song where he sang the bridge and ending chorus but his vocals don't appear on the album version of the song. The band also collaborated with Korn vocalist Jonathan Davis and Scott Weiland of Stone Temple Pilots on "Nobody Like You". Weiland would frequently visit NRG Recording Studios and help with the recording, vocally coaching Durst. Staind singer Aaron Lewis provided backup vocals on the song "No Sex", while Scott Borland, Wes' brother, played keyboards on "Just Like This", "Nookie", "Re-Arranged", "I'm Broke", "9 Teen 90 Nine" and "A Lesson Learned". The song "Show Me What You Got" is a sequel to "Indigo Flow" from Three Dollar Bill, Yall$. "A Lesson Learned" is a psychedelic trip hop track similar to "Everything" from Three Dollar Bill, Yall$.

Album[edit]
Significant Other is the second studio album by American nu metal band Limp Bizkit. It was released on June 22, 1999, through Flip and Interscope Records. It saw the band expand their sound from that of their 1997 debut Three Dollar Bill, Y'all to incorporate further metal and hip hop influences, but with a more melodic and less hardcore punk-influenced sound.
Significant Other received high commercial sales, peaking at number one on the US Billboard 200. The band's distinctive sound and performance, which was thought to be an improvement over the band's debut, received positive reviews from the critics. At least 16 million copies of the album have been sold worldwide.
Following the radio success of the band's cover of George Michael's "Faith", the band was determined to record the follow-up to their first album in order to show that they weren't a "Korn ripoff" or a cover band; the band began writing an album which dealt with issues deriving from their newfound fame. Producer Terry Date, known for working with Pantera, White Zombie and Deftones, was chosen by Limp Bizkit to produce Significant Other. Guitarist Wes Borland stated of Date's production, "he doesn't get overly involved at the 'music' end of things. He's a producer who fools with sound and sonically makes everything perfect. He gets sounds that translate really well on tape and pretty much completely captures what we do, perfectly." The band immediately began recording after the conclusion of the Family Values Tour, despite the insistence of Interscope Records that the band take a break after it.
