3. The Prodigy - Smack My B***h Up: release date 17th November 1997

   Taken from the band's chart-topping third album The Fat Of The Land, this controversial track remains a contentious entry in The Prodigy's catalogue. Taking its title from the Ultramagnetic MCs' 1988 track Give The Drummer Some, the song immediately ran into protests about its content - and its only been on the band's recent live shows that vocalist Maxim has appeared to change the lyrics. Meanwhile, the controversial Jonas Åkerlund video is nowhere to be found on the official Prodigy YouTube channel, meaning it's the audio-only version that has racked up over 22 million views.
