The lyrics to Prodigy/Alexey Just's song "Smack My Bitch Up" are controversial and have been criticized for promoting violence against women. However, a closer look at the lyrics suggests a different interpretation. The repeated line "Change my pitch up, smack my bitch up" could be seen as a metaphor for the desire to change oneself, to alter one's behavior or attitude, and to break free from societal expectations. The use of the word "bitch" could be interpreted as referring to the inner critic or negative self-talk that holds us back, rather than a real woman. The phrase "like this" is repeated several times, perhaps emphasizing the importance of finding one's own path or way of being in the world.
Overall, the lyrics are open to interpretation and can be seen in multiple ways. Some may find the song offensive due to its references to violence against women, while others may see it as a commentary on the need to break free from self-imposed limitations.

I absolutely love how this is edited to make John, Paul, and Ringo mouth the lyrics at 1:10

thank you. i was matching every frame of the video to the song. it took me ~30 hours to edit. it is also intentionally not-too-realistic because i did not intend for the video to really confuse anyone. (for example, adding more matching mouth movements would be more 'realistic' and confusing)

This is one of the best things I have ever seen. This is created with a lot of love, and I really appreciate it.

One of my favourite songs by The Beatles.

I truly beleive that emotions that those people felt were absolutely comparable to Prodigy concert audience few decades later :)

This brings to mind Back to the Future. "I guess you guys aren't ready for that yet... But your kids'll love it."

Keith is up there now with George and John, creating something pretty special indeed. RIP x
larrydelamb
yes indeed. this song war usually played as an encore at Beatles concerts with such classics as "it's been a hard days night and i've been working like a bitch"
