History Trivia / TheProdigy

* ThePeteBest: The Prodigy used to have a female dancer named "Sharky". She left before their first album was released. You can see her make a cameo in the video for the Pendulum remix of "Voodoo People."

* [[AbsenteeActor Absentee Musician]]: Maxim didn't sing until their second album, and Keith didn't sing until their third. Both were missing from ''Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned'' because Liam wanted to take a different approach when making that album.

* AuthorExistenceFailure: Keith Flint committed suicide on March 4, 2019. ''No Tourists'' was the final album to have any contributions from him.

* ReferencedBy: ''Videogame/AssassinsCreedValhalla'' has an event called The Prodigy, featuring a bard named Keith introduced arguing with a cleric... that once struck by the player, leads to Keith singing "Smack my bishop! Smack my bishop!" (or in case a torch is pulled, "You are a firestarter!")

* DyeingForYourArt: The tunnel/sewer from the "Firestarter" video (actually the abandoned Aldwych tube station on the London Underground) was indeed as dank and dirty as it looks - the production crew were forced to wear masks during the shoot, while Keith Flint had to breathe all that dust in for a full day of shooting. Poetically, this was also the case with Music/WeirdAlYankovic's parody of the song for ''Series/TheWeirdAlShow'', which was filmed in ''an actual sewer.'' Al referred to it as "the foulest-smelling place [he'd] ever been."

-->'''Liam Howlett:''' I recorded it as an instrumental. [...] And as usual, all three of the others come round to have a listen. Keith happened to be the first, and I said to him, "We need one more element." Now I’d have been happy with a good sample, but Keith says, "I’d really like to try some vocals on that." And I’m like, "Whaaaaaaat?!”
