Meaning of the song
Does the song have a meaning? If so, what is it?
The meaning of the song is that:
This version included scenes featuring real witch Doctors, but these were cut because of
problems with television censorship. A number of other more graphic versions of the video are
available, one of them appearing in the Prodigy's Electronic Punks documentary.
How will your visuals relate to the song? (Illustrate, Amplify or Disjuncture)
It will amplify as the song goes on so fast bits will have fast paced footage and so on.

friends are walking through the forest and spot him from a distance looking
menacing while he is holding his stick, immediately they run for their life
through the forest and make it to an abandoned swimming pool.
As they try to escape the villain grabs one of them and beats him up with the
weapon and searches his bag after finding nothing, He stares at the other two
with a menacing look As if to say youre next.
