[edit] Overview

The song was The Prodigy's biggest national and international hit. Once again it featured Keith Flint's punky vocals, along with Keith "Keeti" Palmer also known as Maxim Reality. The single generated far less controversy than its predecessor "Firestarter", not to mention the follow-up single "Smack My Bitch Up".

The music video was directed by Walter Stern and took place in an abandoned, decrepit apartment building, with the band members and various animals, (crocodiles, millipedes, rats and cockroaches), as its inhabitants.
