Judging by their concert in Chicago, it's how often Keith can stick his pierced tounge out at the crowd. Oh yeah, that and the fact that (ahem) PRODIGY FUCKIN' ROCK! HARD-CORE DUDE! MOSH! MOSH! MOSH! IF IT'S PLAYED ON THE ALTERNATIVE STATION, IT'S TIME TO MOSH! </sarcasm, but it is the sad reality>

Yes, Liam seems incredibly generous with writing credit. I feel bad for him that Keith actually gets a chunk of the profits off of Liam's music. If lines that inane were sampled from somewher, it would be great. That someone actually sits down and composes them is, well, depressing. Prodigy = Good beats, poor "lyrics", unfortunate attractors of Mosh Pit Kidz (tm) (slogan : guarenteed to at least partially detract from your concert-going experience). But then again I'm biased. I have heard music that makes me want to beat the fuck out of someone. It's just that every time I have the chance to act on my impulses, I actually stop and consider how the guy next to me is going to feel about it :) For an example of fantastic lyrics with pretty lame beats, see new Lee "Scratch" Perry album _Technomajikal_.
