Prodigy's second commercial single was 'Everybody In The Place'. the single was released in December 1991 and it gained huge chart success - it was No. 2 at the British single chart, the No. 1 spot was held by the re-issue of Queens's 'Bohemian Rhapsody'. The video of the song was shot in New York. Nowadays Liam can't even listen to 'Everybody In The Place' simply because he hates that tune so much.

    Tracks

    The original version of 'Everybody In The Place' was already on 'What Evil Lurks' EP. The original version was slower, houseyer mix than the fairground remix. The song contained a sample from 'We Come to Rock' performed by Freska Allstars. New York DJ-artist Moby did a remix for the US release and Liam re-worked the song for the album, titling it as 155 And Rising and it was a lot faster than the original version. 'Crazy Man' contained a sample taken from the film 'The Shining' which was directed by Stanley Kubrick. The movie was made 1980 and it was based on a novel by Stephen King. Liam loves horror films, you know. 'G-Force (Energy Flow)' was the part one and part two was released on the album 'The Prodigy Experience', titled as 'Hyperspeed (G-Force Part 2)'. 'Rip Up The Suond System' had a sample from '50,000 Whats' performed by Genaside II. The female vocals are by Simone.
