'''''Hungry for Stink''''' is the fourth album by the [[Los Angeles]] [[grunge]] band [[L7 (band)|L7]]. The title is taken from a personal ad that was seen by one of the band members shortly before the album was released.{{citation needed|date=October 2012}} It was released in July 1994 during their [[Lollapalooza]] tour. Musically, the album is heavier than the band's previous work, marking the culmination of their progression from a largely [[punk rock|punk]] to [[heavy metal music|metal]] sound.{{citation needed|date=July 2015}} Lyrically the songs concern "darker" themes; for example [[stalking]] on "Can I Run", and depression and insanity on "Questioning My Sanity". |

"Fuel My Fire" was based on the [[Cosmic Psychos]] song "Lost Cause",<ref>{{cite web|url=https://secondhandsongs.com/work/87766|title=Original versions of Fuel My Fire written by Donita Sparks|website=Secondhandsongs.com|access-date=November 1, 2020}}</ref> and was covered by [[The Prodigy]] on their 1997 album ''[[The Fat of the Land]]''.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://noisecrumbs.com/2017/01/02/magnificent-cover-version-no-17-fuel-my-fire-by-l7-covered-by-the-prodigy/|title='Fuel My Fire' by L7 covered by The Prodigy – Magnificent Cover Version No.18|date=January 2, 2017|website=Noisecrumbs.com|access-date=November 1, 2020}}</ref> ''[[The Independent]]'' reported that the album's name ''Hungry for Stink'' was derived from an advert the band saw in [[Bear Magazine]], a [[gay]] publication "for and about big hairy men".<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/art-show-people-california-screaming-l7-1412818.html|title=ART / Show People: California screaming: L7|last=Thompson|first=Ben|date=July 10, 1994|work=The Independent|access-date=September 8, 2019}}</ref> |

Hungry for Stink is the fourth studio album by L7, released in July 1994 by Slash Records. The album peaked at number 117 on the Billboard 200 chart,[2] as well as number 2 on the Heatseekers Albums chart.[3]
"Fuel My Fire" was based on the Cosmic Psychos song "Lost Cause",[4] and was covered by The Prodigy on their 1997 album The Fat of the Land.[5] The Independent reported that the album's name Hungry for Stink was derived from an advert the band saw in Bear Magazine, a gay publication "for and about big hairy men".[6]
