PRODIGY BANNED AGAIN:
The song (BGAT) was given its world premiere on BBC Radio on May 16 but was edited to remove any reference to the drug.
A spokesperson for the band told NME.COM that the group had not provided a radio edit of the song to the station and have no intention of doing so. She said the track was edited by Radio 1 at their end so it would fit into their daytime schedules.
She commented: "We've given them the finished track but it's up to radio to do what they see fit." It is understood that the band have not heard the edited version, as they are on the way back from a video shoot for the single.
A spokesperson for Radio 1 said that no decisions have yet been made on whether to playlist the single, and the track had been given a "spot play" by Jo Whiley's show. The word Rohypnol was "masked", which means a layer of sound was added over it.
The single, released on July 1, is Prodigy's first new material in five years. Described by mainman Liam Howlett as, "a wall of fucking noise", 'Baby's Got A Temper' is a heavy, brutal clash of hard beats, electronic rhythms, guitar riffs and Keith Flint's trademark dirty vocals.
Despite the obvious controversy any song celebrating Rohypnol is bound to cause, the Prodigy insist their song has nothing to do with date rape. Keith Flint told NME.COM: "I don't know its true medical title. Have I tried it? Oh yeah, absolutely. That's what the song's about. It's a reflection on going out, maybe doing cocaine, then doing downers. Y'know, some people do all manner of downers and Rohypnol is one of them." (source: NME)
OFFICIAL LYRICS:
You can see me coming from a mile off
Once again ignite the skyline
She's gonna be printed on money
Just like your royal family
(This ain't no holiday)
This time there can be no funeral
I'm vibing, can't you feel me?
We love rhypnol, she got rhypnol
We take rhypnol
Just forget it all
We love rhypnol, she got rhypnol
We take rhypnol
Just forget it all
Just forget it all
This baby's got a temper
This baby's got a temper
This baby's got a temper
You'll never tame her
You can see me do another parallel
Better bow down your not worthy
( Hey get off my planet, Yeah)
Last time I'll be your prisoner
No name no number
(revolving, dissolving)
Shooting through the trapdoor
What I think don't matter anymore
We love rhypnol, she got rhypnol
We take rhypnol
Just forget it all
We love rhypnol, she got rhypnol
We take rhypnol
Just forget it all
This baby's got a temper
This baby's got a temper
This baby's got a temper
You'll never tame her
This baby's got a temper
You'll never tame her
