The horns of Jericho
The horns of Jericho
The horns of Jericho

Feel the bass come down on me baby
Feel the bass come down on me baby
Want a favor, find a favor
Want a favor, find a favor
Want a favor, find a favor
Keep on dancing, yeah keep on dancing




Baby keep on dancing, yeah keep on dancing
Baby keep on dancing, yeah keep on dancing

Overall Meaning

The Prodigy's song Jericho is a testament to their ability to create an intense, energizing atmosphere with their music. The lyrics themselves are sparse, but their repetition and driving rhythm contribute to the song's overall sense of urgency and power. The repeated lines about the "horns of Jericho" serve to evoke a sense of biblical grandeur and cosmic energy, a feeling that is further emphasized by the high-pitched, wailing synths that punctuate the track.


As the song progresses, the lyrics become more focused on the physical sensations of dancing and the thudding bass that reverberates through the listener's body. This shift in focus serves to ground the song in the club culture that it was created for, and allows the listener to fully immerse themselves in the experience of being on the dance floor. Overall, Jericho is a prime example of The Prodigy's signature style: a relentless, high-energy assault on the senses that is impossible to resist.


Line by Line Meaning

The horns of Jericho
This line is repeated three times to emphasize the power of the sound, like the blast of horns used by ancient armies to signal an attack. In this context, the horns are a metaphor for the loud, pulsating beat of the music.


Feel the bass come down on me baby
The singer is urging someone to physically feel the music, particularly the bass, which is a deep, low-frequency sound. The use of 'baby' indicates a desire for intimacy or connection with the listener.


Want a favor, find a favor
This line implies a sense of reciprocity or mutual benefit. If you want something from someone, you should be willing to do something for them in return.


Keep on dancing, yeah keep on dancing
This repetition of the phrase 'keep on dancing' is a call to action, encouraging listeners to continue moving to the beat of the music. The use of 'yeah' indicates enthusiasm and adds emphasis.


Baby keep on dancing, yeah keep on dancing
This is a repetition of the previous line, but with the addition of 'baby,' which conveys a sense of affection or playfulness. The overall message is still an exhortation to keep dancing to the music.
