In 2019, Tyler Jenke from The Brag ranked Regurgitator's best songs, with "Blubber Boy" coming it at number 3. Jenke said "It's not often that bands get their start by singing a song based upon an Inuit fairytale about drowned boyfriends and blubber… replacements, but Regurgitator aren't exactly a normal band. A prime example of their early talent, 'Blubber Boy' is still a tune whose chorus commands a massive singalong during a live show."

I'm your blubber boy, you should rub me
I look like your love drowned in the sea
I'm fishing in the sun, I'm melting
Rub me on your cunt, I'll come back again

I'm your blubber boy, you should rub me
The sun beat me down too viciously
I fell into the ground to what I used to be
I've melted away, I'm nothing again

I'm your blubber boy, you should rub me
I've melted away, so bury me
I'm your blubber boy, you should rub me
I've melted away, so bury me

I'm your blubber boy, you should rub me
I've melted away, so bury me
Talk to me in my grave and mourn me
It can be the same, just begin again

I'm your blubber boy, you should rub me
Looking like your love drowned in the sea
I'm fishing in the sun, I'm melting
Rub me on your cunt, I'll come back again

I'm your blubber boy, you should rub me
I've melted away, so bury me
I'm your blubber boy, you should rub me
I've melted away, so bury me

I'm your blubber boy, you should rub me
I've melted away, so bury me
I'm your blubber boy, you should rub me
I've melted away, so bury me

I'm your blubber boy, you should rub me
I've melted away, so bury me
I'm your blubber boy, you should rub me
I've melted away, so bury me

I'm your blubber boy, you should rub me
I've melted away, so bury me
I'm your blubber boy, you should rub me
I've melted away, so bury me

Rub me, I'm your blubber boy
Rub me, I'm your blubber boy
Rub me, I'm your blubber boy
Rub me, I'm your blubber boy

Rub me, I'm your blubber boy
Rub me, I'm your blubber boy
Rub me, I'm your blubber boy
Rub me, I'm your blubber boy

Rub me, I'm your blubber boy
Rub me, I'm your blubber boy
Rub me, I'm your blubber boy
Rub me, I'm your blubber boy

Rub me
