from what i've heard, this was basically his response to Prodigy's new album The Fat of The Land which had really popular singles like Firestarter and Breathe and he was making fun. there's a quote from him saying he didn't even want it released and that he purposely took it out of circulation for a week so it wouldn't reach #1...but if that's true i don't understand why he agreed to make a music video for it then either.

One evening while I was watching MTV this music video randomly popped out. I was not able to sleep that night and the next 2-3 nights after for how much i was freaked out from this music video, and every time I saw this music video start playing I changed the channel as quick as I can. Now I'm 28, and through this years, some times I had the memories of me as a kid watching this music video in terror, and everytime I had this memories, I asked my self what was this song's title with the desire to rewatch it 'cause I forgot the title and who the artist was of this song. Today this music video randomly appeared to my recommended videos. Finally I watched this video again after all this years with a completely different point of view, and I smiled and laughed remembering how I was so scared about this music video as a kid. Just this video and most of Marylin Manson's music videos was the reason why i had nightmares as a kid but some of them were my favourites like the music video of Promises by the Cranberries, even if the witch from the video freaked my out every time i watched it. Nowadays that's the kind of things that I really enjoy for the most. I really miss the original and unique style of the 90's music videos...
