You Eediot! is the debut album by Nickelodeon cartoon characters Ren & Stimpy that was released on August 31, 1993. [1] The album featured several popular songs from the series, including "Kilted Yaksmen Anthem" (from "The Royal Canadian Kilted Yaksmen") and "Happy Happy Joy Joy" (from "Stimpy's Invention"). A promotional album with the tracks "Happy Happy Joy Joy", "Kilted Yaksmen Anthem" and "Don't Whiz On the Electric Fence" was sent out to radio stations across North America that September. [1] "Fire Dogs" and "Ren's Pecs" had an accompanying music video. The album peaked at #156 on the Billboard 200 in October 1993. [4]
Because the album was released a year after the departure of creator John Kricfalusi, the Ren Höek vocals were re-recorded by Billy West, and Bob Camp (who replaced Kricfalusi as showrunner) took his role of Stinky Wizzleteats in the album version of "Happy Happy Joy Joy".
The album's cover is a parody of the cover for The Beatles album Abbey Road , showing Mr. Horse (in place of John Lennon), Muddy Mudskipper (in place of Ringo Starr), Stimpy (in place of Paul McCartney), and Ren (in place of George Harrison) walking across the street. [5]
