Music career

Pop (then still going by his real name) appeared in a Depeche Mode cover band called Bang Chamber 8 with Mike Bowe (later known as Daddy Long Legs). Pop performed guitar and sang, while Bowe played bass and sang. Bang Chamber 8's cassette of four original songs was released in 1990: "Wouldn't It Be Nice," "Birthday Boy," "Ice Cubes," and "War Chimes." These songs had nothing in common with the Bloodhound Gang, whether lyrically or musically. Operation Desert Storm's "War Chimes" was written about it, and it included a guitar solo from Pop at the end, as well as the lead vocals. In 2005, the synth line from "Birthday Boy" will be reinterpreted on a Bloodhound Gang track, "I'm the Least You Can Do."

In 1991, Bang Chamber 8 was split. Pop and Daddy formed the Bloodhound Gang in 1992, which later became more of an alternative rock band. Long Legs left the Bloodhound Gang in 1997 to begin Wolfpac.

The DiCamillo Sisters, together with Bam Margera, Brandon DiCamillo, and Jess Margera, performed a Christmas song titled "But Why Is It So Cold?" There's also an accompanying video. In 2006, Pop co-produced "Broadsword Calling Danny Boy," a dance artist Tomcraft's song "Broadsword Calling Danny Boy." The song is on Tomcraft's official MySpace. Pop collaborated with German firm Scooter on a song called "The Killed Elvis," which was included on their album "The Ultimate Aural Orgasm." In the song's intro, Bam Margera can also be heard. The album debuted at number two on the German Hip Hop chart and stayed there for two weeks. Pop's English version of the song "Disco Pogo" that was featured on the Jersey Shore soundtrack in 2010 collaborated with German firm Die Atzen for an English version of the song "Disco Pogo." He worked with Russian Hardbass group "Daddy WTF" in 2022, which was released on February 22 in a music video.

Acting career

During a shopping cart race and a slap contest in CKY 4, Pop made a came out. In addition, he appeared on "Limo vs Lambo," in which Pop borrowed Bam Margera's Lamborghini without telling him, causing Margera to accuse his close friends (especially Ryan Dunn) of doing the wrong thing. Don Vito and Phil Margera's attempt to become rock stars also appeared on Viva La Bam's "Rockstars," in which Don Vito and Phil Margera attempt to become rock stars, leading Jimmy Pop to French kiss Don Vito on stage.

Pop has appeared on The Dudesons, as one of the dart board stunts with Jarppi Leppälä.
