Musical interlude


Some controversy with "Smack My Bitch Up" by The Prodigy, originally released in 1997. The uncut video for the song explicitly showed someone shooting up heroin, but that scene is removed from this version (however the other scenes involving drinking, snorting, fighting, vandalism and sex remains...hmm).
Since the lyrics and title of the song were interpreted to promote violence against women, "Smack My Bitch Up" was banned by the BBC and the music video was banned by various TV stations (MTV did show the video - but only at nighttime).
The video also stars British glamour model Teresa May, who'll be 40 this year (damn - now I feel old).
