The Fat of the Land (Music) / int_3eb0f889	comment	Pun-Based Title: The album cover title is based on the old English phrase "living off the fat of the land", which means living well or being wealthy. In this context it also has a Double Entendre meaning the songs are fat (=great, cool, heavy). "Mindfields", a pun on "mine fields". "Serial Thrilla", a pun on Serial Killer.

The Fat of the Land (Music) / int_d45c0b86	comment	Refuge in Audacity: "Smack My Bitch Up" caused controversy because of its offensive refrain. The music video too caused outrage and was banned from various radio and TV stations for showing someone on a night out in London, filmed from a first-person perspective with portrayals of alcoholism, violence, vandalism, drug use and a sex scene, all revealed in the final shot to have been the deeds of a woman. "Firestarter" was controversial to some because it seemed to be a glorification of pyromania and fire vandalism.
