me too!! metal head thru and true and I still love Prodigy to this day. My boyfriend at the time customized trucks and cars for dealerships and people looking for the latest cool thing for their vehicle. at the time he had an Oldsmobile 98. the trunk space was huge because the car was a tank. he put a sound system in it and Prodigy was one of the CDs we'd play in his car and it sounded AMAZING! It sounded so good, when customers would come in for stereo systems the audio guys would take them out to his car so they could hear his system. he collected many noise ordinance tickets. decibel levels were out of control. anyway, he eventually sold the car because he was going to lose his license for too many tickets. it was too tempting to keep. eventually got to see then in San Antonio and they did not disappoint. good times! great memories.

In this episode of Brad & Lex, the low distorted repetitiveness of synth, muffled bass and restricted drum beats create anticipation as well as a "double dutch bop" upon a giddy Lex who shortly after catching the hard rhythm, continues along producing an array of "bops" including the classic "bobble, "metronome", the "spell caster", "crossfit" and "river hands". Lex later describes the 1997 chart topper as "spinny" while a very grounded Brad displays a slight "sway".

So many reactors are reacting to the Prodigy from this period in their career. It would be worth reacting to one of their early rave tunes to give you some idea of where they evolved from and how their music changed. You probably don't realise no one had hardly heard Keith singing until Firestarter was released some 7 years into their life as a band. Check out Charley says or Everybody in the Place, their first two singles.

[@douglasadam5253]

Spot on. Everybody in the Place was excellent. The track that hooked me came not long after, No Good (Start the Dance).

[@manna6618]

Out Of Space is another early often looked over piece of mastery...and yes most assume Keith was the singer, not knowing he was simply a groupie at the start then got promoted to hype man/dancer for many years before finally getting some vocals wayyy down the track in their career.

@@danv9872 did you tell your mummy before coming on here? 😋

[@benabel7326]

Although it does play towards the audience's obvious reaction, the lyrics actually say "Change my pitch up, smack my bitch up", and is about turning the volume right up while djing.

[@christoffesedao3579]

Lol - there’s a little more to it than that. The bassline and some of the lyrics are sampled from the 1988 track "Give The Drummer Some" by The Ultramagnetic MC's, where Kool Keith raps: "Change my pitch up, smack my bitch up like a pimp." So the meaning of the lyrics originally was given by the Ultramagnetics. Kool Keith was Prodigy's favorite rapper. He and the other Ultramagnetics received a composer credit for their sample. Prodigy say that to them it is about doing everything with vigor. Of course the video confuses the public cuz there is actual drug fueled sexual assaults happening but there’s a nice twist at the end.

[@UltromanTheTacoman]

@@christoffesedao3579 Always wondered, but never bothered. Thanks for the info :)

[@gabechouinard]

"smack my bitch up" literally refers to increasing the BPM of the song, not the volume.

[@stevepower9801]

I'll never forget the experience of seeing The Prodigy at the Reading Festival in the UK back in 1996, before "Fat of the Land" was released. They opened their set with this. I was a Prodigy fan but this was brand new material at the time. I recall a friend thinking Maxim was shouting "Smash My Picture" and we walked around for months after that shouting "Smash my picture, Change my picture" at random people until we finally heard the official album release in 1997. The original video is worth seeing, but it's hard to find these days. The ending spells it all out! I may be 49 now, but we had some crazy stuff back in the 90's that I still love dearly. Plenty of new music I enjoy too.

[@dansegelov305]

Hey. I was there in the crowd for this too. The thing I remember most clearly about that set was bouncing with the whole crowd and then, what looked like a 13 yr old boy comes pushing through the crowd with a tesco carrier bag shouting, "anyone want any speed?.. Anyone want any speed?"

Prodigy lyrics are just to enhance the music. It's all about being in the moment and letting the music (and whatever drug(s) you are on) take you to another place. This is peak rave scene music so it is designed to be consumed in a live setting but can be just as fun to listen to on your own or with some friends.

I saw this band in 1992 after I got off work in LA, at about 9 PM. My friend picked me up and we drove from location to location getting bits and pieces of a treasure map to where the concert was located. It took us about 1.5 hours to find the secret venue and then the band played about two hours after that. Yes, everyone was on ecstasy as you mentioned.

[@williamdrake6711]

The CHANGE MY PITCH UP/ SMACK MY BITCH UP is actually a sample from the song GIVE THE DRUMMER SOME by the ULTRAMAGNETIC MCs was Kool Keith singing it

[@Ahris22]

The Prodigy sort of took the world by storm in the mid 90's. They came out of nowhere and brought the underground to the mainstream with a sound that noone had heard before and while they were pretty influential i can't recall any other artist that sounds like them. :)

[@CoffeeConnected]

There was a rave act called Acen who sounded pretty close to their early sound. They were both doing a similar thing at around the same time. He was excellent in his own right. And at around the time of their 3rd album The Fat of the Land there was a degree of similarity with some of The Chemical Brother's songs, due to the Big Beat sound being prominent at that time. Junkie XL also did some Prodigy inspired stuff around the time of The Fat of the Land.

[@rohnnyjotten3985]

Not for a club.... for a field. This stems from the days of illegal raves in farmers fields, pay the farmer a small fee, set up a soundsystem and some lights, sell some tickets and give out cryptic clues to were it was (to avoid the police) , i spent a few nights waiting outside service stations (truckstops) waiting for directions to some random field in the middle of the night, but when you found it...what a trip. Although this track came after the illegal raves had died away, the band became festival regulars and once again this music sounded amazing... in a field. I seen them live one time in a massive circus tent, that was an amazing experience, when they play live those massive bass drops shake the ground, you can feel it through your whole body from the feet up.

The 90s was an era of major musical experimentation and genre bending groups. For every bubbly pop group and boy band you had these other groups making the craziest sounds. It was a party! No matter if you mainly liked rap or rock or metal or pop or industrial or techno, you still found yourself enjoying music from artists way outside of your typical genre. Some of these electronic groups were heavier than some of the rock bands. Prodigy had that gritty punk energy and phat break beats. Their music was infectious.

The best electronic dance music was from the 90's, particularly Britain. The vocal sample is from a US group, the Ultramagnetic MC's "Give the drummer some". "Change my pitch up, smack my bitch up" because Liam has sampled and "pitched" the vocal up.

The phrase "Smack my bitch up" translates to: "Request another to inject you with Heroin or get you high.

"Bitch" being slang for the main vein running down your arm in which heroin is usually injected.

I used to be a metal/rock guy as a teen (i still am ) and i remember watching a movie called Hackers back in 94 i think it was and holy shit it had fire soundtrack but best thing i ever discovered was Prodigy and been listening to them ever since. It also expanded my music taste by a million for simply accepting the fact no matter what genre of music you love there is plenty more of amazing music to discover.

[@tiacd3780]

a great movie that one... featuring a young Angelina Jolie....

[@loobkoob]

The Prodigy, and later on Pendulum, have been a gateway for so many metal/rock fans getting into electronic music and broadening their horizons in general

[@blastingweevil2968]

saw prodigy live at phoenix festival in the U.K in 1996 they were AWSOME...... best 4 days of music in my life...

[@Hoscitt]

Me too! I was 15 and it changed my life! 👍

[@teddyshrader8037]

The prodigy - Worlds on fire (DVD) Live .."Smack my B Up".. Came acrossed it yesterday and it was Fire 👍😎

[@Kulalo]

Hope you go watch the official video. It's a story.

[@xarcade360]

she gets it, what a track the sampling behind this track is nothing short of genius

[@notoriousbig73]

Shortie let go and dug the vibe❤ Brotha looked perplexed n bewildered 😂

[@jockeyladjockeylad8492]

RIP Keith. Hope you found some peace. When asked about the direction The Prodigy was moving in he said that if you must hang a label on it just call it Electronic Punk. Trust me, they were not cheerleaders for domestic abuse - try to think of them as hater baiters Boys & Girls you really need to find the un-edited video - fits the track like a glove.

[@lilmouse1903]

i got a link to the original vid unedited u want it ??

[@jockeyladjockeylad8492]

@@lilmouse1903 - many thanks for the offer - already got it. Many apologies for lateness of my reply. It rarely occurs to me to check if anyone has taken any notice of my ramblings. Love & kisses from the UK.

[@daredelvis6433]

you guys are awesome. as others have mentioned, you should watch the original uncut video that was banned from MTV. also, you guys should do a reaction to janes addiction - three days. epic song. i think you guys would really like it. it's my favorite song of all time.

[@Yvo19]

3:17 Defo the vibe in the offcial video.

[@horsepower523]

Lex vibing and smiling is so adorable. Nice reaction guys 😀

[@angelahendry6394]

Yayyyy the rave scene! Great band here and maybe another interesting song for you would be Born Slippy (Nuxx) by Underworld. Great reaction guys and gals.

[@gabrielplattes6253]

Totally seconded. ✌😄

[@OUsniper1]

Born Slippy is good. I also always liked Cowgirl by Underworld.

[@Buk99]

@@OUsniper1 Cowgirl is epic!

[@rustyshackleford4327]

I first heard Trugoy from De La Soul say the phrase “Change my pitch up, smack my bitch up…” in the 1993 song Ego Trip. I always figured Prodigy took the phrase from there (not as a sample but just the words) and ran with it. But I don’t know if De La Soul were the first to use it or not.

[@CoffeeConnected]

As far as I'm aware it's a direct sample from an Ultramagnetic MCs song.

[@gvehar]

I haven’t heard their song, but Wikipedia says it’s the sample so it must be them. Makes sense, as I knew it wasn’t sampled from De La. I’ve liked hearing the Prodigy song when it was on but never bought it or downloaded it so I wasn’t an expert on them.

[@Janeka-xj2bv]

Pure energy

[@FastHatTrick]

hahaha Lex's joy when she likes the music is contagious.

[@marcharley6465]

The Prodigy guys had a very punk attitude and got a kick out of causing controversy, simply because it amused them. They certainly didn't hate women or condone violence.

[@tibedets_832]

I always love to hear Brad's take on the lyrics.

[@yukohimoru4610]

Lex is totally on point, I like how you vibe on this track. I was 7 when it came out, we were out of our minds. Still are though!

[@PierreTheCore55]

Aaaww..... Acid Techno-Breaks from the 90's ..... Such a classic tune there

[@djh9022]

Where the video ended, the full version breaks again with "smack my...". And its epic. Prodigy forever.

[@BLew657]

Lex in her own little mini festival 🤣

[@jeffreekoch9298]

Yall have to see their videos! Only way to listen to , enjoy Prodigy. Visuals and at the dance clubs. Reading the lyrics doesn't do much. This is a technopunk electropunk/dance punk band. 😆 Yes Lex. Gym music too lol

[@UrbanTaxi99]

You have to see them live, the break beat, drum and bass tones are second to none. Drive the crowd into a frenzy. The gig in Moscow's red square amazing... then you have to go to Chemical brothers, and Orbital both amazing.

[@Airborne76]

Y'all's tee shirts and hats are dope!!! It Definitely set the vibe for the reaction!!! Keep up the excellent work!! 💪💪💪💯💯🔥🔥🔥

[@museborn7703]

a beautiful reaction to a thrill ride of a track. they certainly knew how to make you move!! perfect gym session beats.

[@bassboygilo]

This song is made out of samples from Public Enemy and the video its one of the most iconic, controversial music videos ever made.

[@jaririnne1445]

Lex that video is legend!

[@KevinArdala01]

The official video to this was pretty mental. 😁

[@halfalligator6518]

The music that shifted me from hard rock to electronic.

[@seansalter1679]

Canadian here I have U.K first cousins. Took my annual U.K summer holiday. My younger cousin's said you gotta see this group live. Loved the energy became an instant fan of the genre. Bought all the music they had put out, came home too Canada friends where like what is this. I coached my son's lacrosse team for 7 years , used Prodigy too pump the team up just before the game started.

[@khlothostonney5760]

look at brad... he doesnt get it and he is gone. Lex on the other hand is completely loving it and having shit hell of fun!

[@maileilevale4844]

Rollin on ecstasy:) loved the reaction

[@richardbenson3452]

I like how Brad is really not into The Prodigy but stays polite about it. ;D

[@nancydavies6446]

One of my favourite tunes of all time.... Love ur reactions

[@danielzee9639]

Lol I can't believe you guy's did this song!!! So cool!!! You do it all!!!

[@chairmanofthebored6860]

Yes! Was hoping you guys would catch this one

[@jamessmithsaltyarmy5210]

I saw them live about 3 or 4 times... Great song! Great band!

[@Rebellen007]

One word: RAVE. That's it. That's the word.

[@matthewparkinson5462]

Some great times to this in my youth. Absolute banger at 2am in a club
