The title of the album was taken from a line ("fuck you, man!") slurred by Al Pacino in Scarface.[2] The cover of the album features the band flying through space in guitarist Greg Camp's 1962 Ford Falcon Squire wagon,[3] with a band member's outstretched arm giving the finger. The title is written in a stylized, pseudo-Asian font. The album also features a cover version of War's "Why Can't We Be Friends?". The initial release was given a Parental Advisory label, while later releases were not. Fush Yu Mang has been certified double-platinum by the RIAA in the U.S. for sales in excess of 2 million.
An acoustic re-recording of Fush Yu Mang was planned in 2017 through PledgeMusic for the album's 20th anniversary, and was released on June 29, 2018.[4]
