Limp Bizkit Drop Deliciously Weird ‘Making Love to Morgan Wallen’ Single With Nods to Chester Bennington, Bowie, ‘Pootie Tang’

Limp Bizkit are back with their first new song in four years and it is a classic Bizkit banger. “Making Love to Morgan Wallen” bursts out of the gate with a funky wah-wah guitar riff before a marching band beat bubbles up and singer Fred Durst launches into a sung-rap tribute to some fallen rock heroes.

“Damn, I miss you Chester/ Sending love from a bass compressor/ Ground control with a soul like Bowie/ And I’ll chop you up if I’m under pressure,” Durst raps in the opening couplet paying homage to late Linkin Park singer Chester Bennington and rock icon David Bowie.

From there, if you can believe it — and if you’ve ever listened to a single Bizkit song before, you can — it gets way, way weirder. 

“Bizkit beats from the pirate band/ Signed this deal with a lobster hand/ Freestyle like a bowling pin/ Flex these bars on a dolphin fin,” Durst raps over the spare backing track. “Life’s too short, but I can’t complain/ Doin’ backflips on a candy cane/ Ride my scooter with a cape at night/ And I’ma high-five me a traffic light.”

Naturally.

By the time the explosive, Beastie Boys-nodding “Hey, ladies” chorus comes around, true Bizkitheads might be having flashbacks to the band’s beloved 2000 Billboard 200 No. 1 album Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water, which featured similarly absurdist shout-it-out-loud nu-metal anthems such as “Rollin’ (Air Raid Vehicle)” and “My Way.”

Durst isn’t done climbing to the top of mount weird, also claiming in the lengthy first verse that he got “kicked out of the Trump resort” in a seeming reference to Donald Trump’s Florida Mar-a-Lago residence. The second verse is no less random, with lyrics about moonwalking on a UFO, dropping bars while brushing teeth and a shout out to legendary 2001 blaxploitation-adjacent comedy Pootie Tang. 

Propelled by one of guitarist Wes Borland’s hypnotic riffs, crunching beats, old-school record scratches and the group’s signature shouty choruses, the whole thing comes crashing to a close with a pummeling final chorus that finally nods to the country star in the title.

“I make this motherf—ker diamond plated/ Makin’ love to Morgan Wallen in an elevator/ I’ll be turnin’ on you b–ches like a generator,” Durst spits over the titanic beat with no context whatsoever for the shout-out to the country chart dominator. 

In keeping with their determination to put the biggest target on their own back, Durst ends with a classic DGAF Bizkit kiss-off, “I’ll be the greatest motherf—ker that you ever hated/ That you ever hated.”

The new single is the first fresh music from the band since 2021’s “Dad Vibes” single from their sixth studio album, Still Sucks. They teased it in their patented jokey fashion last week by pretending to be outraged that L.A. drummer Kristina Rybalchenko “leaked” the song by playing along to it in a video. “Kristina, that’s our new song, it’s now out yet, how did you get that?” an annoyed Durst says in the clip after busting through the door and wagging his finger at her while warning not to post it online.
