Rating: Three shady characters with a suitcase arrive at a strange amusement park in the desert. They get out of the car, drink a glass of "I-don't-know-what," and... start "kicking it" hard.
First of all, they aggressively advance towards an RV (delivering a well-aimed kick to a doll lying on the ground); then, once inside, they pull out razors and makeup accessories from their suitcases.
And from harmless agents in sober clothes, they transform into punk musicians making electronic music, with piercings and rebellious hairstyles.
This is how we notice that these guys weren't just any three drunks, but the Prodigy, namely Liam Howlett, Keith Flint, and the rapper Maxim.
Now that they have a look as grim as it is suitable for the stage, they exit the RV and perform in front of an audience of... cows!
Cows that are then milked by scantily clad girls who look like they've stepped out of an adult film. The milk obtained is packaged in handy bottles that are a hit among tourists, given the arid environment.
Meanwhile, while Howlett plays and Maxim acts as the second voice, Keith thunders "We love Rohypnol! She has Rohypnol! We take Rohypnol! But forget it!"
Then (perhaps because in the meantime this drug has been stolen from the girl in the song) Keith retorts "That girl got pissed! You'll never tame her!"
But what could all this mean? Could the milk produced by the cows become a deadly sedative? Or does this drug called Rohypnol cause hallucinations, like women being treated like cows? In any case, this single and the corresponding video clip are shocking.
Here the Prodigy say a lot of things, even if not always clear, and they do it with the uncontrollable energy as always.
As for me, this "Baby's Got a Temper" could well have been the eleventh track of "The Fat of the Land," considering it retains the vocal energy of grim Flint (legendary!), of comrade Maxim, and of the ingenious Howlett, even from an aesthetic point of view.
P.S. forgive if maybe the translations aren't exact, but to me, they seem the most plausible.
