Take Off Your Pants and Jacket

Untitled

Take Off Your Pants and Jacket is blink-182's fourth studio album. It was released on June 12 2001 by MCA Records, and contained the hit singles "The Rock Show", "First Date", "Stay Together for the Kids" and "Anthem Part Two". The album went Diamond, selling over 10 million records. It was originally printed with three different editions, each with different colored discs and different colored covers. Each different type of CD had a separate duo of hidden tracks, one serious, the other a joke song. The bonus tracks were only available on the original pressings of the three variations.

The album title is a tongue-in-cheek reference to masturbation ("take off your pants and jack it") and it was reportedly conceived by a former roadie.
