Songfacts®:

  • The repeated reggae-sounding line is often misheard. You may find some lyrics on the internet that say the Jamaican singer sings, "I'm gone sent into outer space" or "I've gone sending to outer space." The original line is "I'm gonna send him to outa space, to find another race." It's from the reggae song "Chase The Devil" by Max Romeo & The Upsetters, and it also appears in the game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. >>>

  • The Prodigy's main songwriter Liam Howlett told Q magazine March 2008: "It's the 'kind' Prodigy record. We still play it and everyone starts singing along."

  • Egor from LondonI have a theory that the melody is inspired by Star Trek TOS's danger music.
  • Renee from South Lyon, MiI love how much emotion can come from the fast paced and off play of a different song, like hot ride by the prodigy. The part where it stops and says, "i'll take your brain into another dimension, PAY CLOSE ATTENTION" oh thats just great
