Baby's Got a Temper (4:41)
82,953 plays (15,169 listeners)
“Baby’s Got a Temper” was the third EP released by the British electronic band The Prodigy on 1 July 2002. It was the band’s first song in five years, following “Smack My Bitch Up” in 1997, and only their second that was not an album track. It was also their first release after dancer Leeroy Thornhill left the band in 2000.
The song sparked controversy because of the lyrics by Keith Flint, which heavily played upon the misuse of the drug rohypnol. “Baby’s Got a Temper” was met with mostly negative reviews and some time later Liam Howlett himself disowned it.
The music video, directed by Traktor, was released as a DVD single that included a short ‘making of’ film. It featured three ordinary men, dressed in suits, who walk into a disused funfair. They enter a makeup room and transform themselves into the band members, Howlett, Flint, and Maxim. The group go onstage where they perform before a crowd consisting of cattle, which are milked by topless women. The milk is then sold to the public waiting outside, who eventually go crazy. The video was apparently based upon one of Howlett’s dreams.
The single was initially released to support what was early stages of their then-to come album, Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned. The album got reworked into what it is now and the song was binned. Because the single didn’t fit any album, in 2008, the band’s official website’s discography classified it as an EP.

The only thing worse than the song is the video. I almost started to feel ashamed that i've ever listened to The Prodigy after seeing that sh***t. :(

I have no idea why this song is hated either. I fucking love it. Then again I love the Flint song it came from, Razor. It sounds like a Prodigy song now in this incarnation and people loved Keith back in the day so, wth?

Has a dirty industrial feel to it...an uneasy ambiance. Weird. Almost as scary as Skinny Puppy's Last Rights. Not that it sounds similar, but is just sort of creates a vaguely similar atmosphere. It ain't pretty, but I like it.

Let's just say we forget the lyrics, the instrumental in this track is still kickass, the beat and production is tight, the sounds are swell, it's Prodigy alright, and oh, the video to it rules :)

I think Always Outnumbered was a good album!! Dont see whats so bad about it ,theres a few duds on it but thers a few duds on ther other albums as well. Fuel my fire and serial thrilla are in my opinion pretty shit, like Baby's got a temper, just sound like shitty firestarter wannabes. So as you can see i agree Mr howlett that babys got a temper is a dud.(too much keith Flint not enough Prodigy)

I don't see what's so awful with this track, sure it's not one of their best, but it's not too bad, reminds me a bit of the Fat Of The Land-days, not as good of course, but far better than AONO.
