About Smack My Bitch Up

"Smack My Bitch Up" is a song by English rave group the Prodigy. It was released in November 1997 as the third and final single from the album The Fat of the Land. The song was voted by Mixmag readers as the third greatest dance track of all time. Although the song was not as big a commercial success as their previous singles, it gained a cult following. The song caused considerable controversy because of its suggestive title and explicit music video, which depicted scenes of drunken and drug-fuelled sexual excess and violence. The refrain, which consists only of the line "Change my pitch up / Smack my bitch up", was sampled from the song "Give the Drummer Some" by the Ultramagnetic MCs. In 2010, the song was voted as the most controversial of all-time in a survey conducted by PRS for Music. Prior to the release of the single, Liam Howlett was presented with three remixes of the title song, one by Jonny L, one by DJ Hype and one by Slacker. Howlett chose the DJ Hype remix to be released on the single. The Jonny L remix was released through a free CD that came along with an issue of Muzik magazine, while the Slacker remix was never officially released, although it surfaced on a rare and limited set of white labels
