Pump Up The Valuum is the eighth full-length album by NOFX. It was released on June 13, 2000. It is their last studio album to be released on Epitaph Records. The title is a play on words, and is purposely misspelled to avoid a lawsuit, similar to the one The Melvins faced for their album, Lysol, in that it referenced a trademarked brand-name - in this case Valium. This is explained in the 45 Or 46 Songs... album booklet. The song "And Now For Something Completely Similar" is a parody of the famous saying "And Now For Something Completely Different" from Monty Python skits. As a pun, the intro sounds very similar to Linoleum from "Punk in Drublic", right down to the humming before the song begins, while the solo bass part echoes Shadows of Defeat from Good Riddance.
The jacket was designed by Bill Burton, the brother of Tim Burton.
All of the vinyl copies of this record were colored blue.
Three songs were mentioned in the Pump Up the Valuum booklet as songs that didn't make it to this record, but that will be in upcoming ones.
