"Baby's Got a Temper" was the thirteenth single released by the British electronic band The Prodigy on 1 July 2002. It was the band's first song in five years, following "Smack My Bitch Up" in 1997, and only their second that was not an album track. It was also their first release after dancer Leeroy Thornhill left the band in 2000.
The song sparked controversy because of the lyrics by Keith Flint, which heavily played upon the misuse of the drug rohypnol. "Baby's Got a Temper" was met with mostly negative reviews and some time later Liam Howlett himself disowned it.[1]
The music video, directed by Traktor, was released as a DVD single that included a short 'making of' film. It featured three ordinary men, dressed in suits, who walk into a disused funfair. They enter a makeup room and transform themselves into the band members, Howlett, Flint, and Maxim. The group go onstage where they perform before a crowd consisting of cattle, which are milked by scantily-dressed women. The milk is then sold to the public waiting outside, who eventually go crazy. The video was apparently based upon one of Howlett's dreams.
