Built around a heavily manipulated vocal sample from the Ultramagnetic MCs, this track provoked massive international controversy upon release. Despite widespread bans from radio and television—largely fueled by its explicit title and Jonas Åkerlund's notorious first-person, debauchery-filled music video—the song became an inescapable club anthem. Its ferocious energy and complex breakbeat programming represented the aggressive zenith of the 1990s electronica boom.
