October 23 [10:00 EDT] -- After Oasis vs. the Beatles and Keith Richards vs. Elton John, there's yet another Brit Snit to report.

This one involves the Prodigy and Chumbawamba, the 15-year-old anarchist collective behind "Tubthumping" [800k QuickTime], which comes in at number ten on next week's Billboard singles chart.

Chumbawamba recently told the British Music Press that it had gotten an idea from Prodigy's next single, a track called "Smack My Bitch Up." The band's idea was a track called "Smack My Keith Up," referring to Prodigy singer Keith Flint.

Prodigy's Liam Howlett responded by telling the British Music Press "It's taken them 15 years to come up with that one piece of blank record. Any one of my cymbal patterns is more radical than their entire recorded output, which is basically just a waste of plastic."

"We don't actually have a song called "Smack My Keith Up," Chumbawamba's Dunstan Bruce told "120 Minutes" on Tuesday.

"It was just an idea, because Prodigy have a song called "Smack My Bitch Up." But I never felt they'd properly justified why they'd done it. Its a typical thing where a lot of groups, because they're really big, they can get away with anything. And we wouldn't be happy unless we were questioning things like that." [700k QuickTime]

"The problem with the Prodigy album is that musically it sounds absolutely brilliant but if you scratch the surface, there's no real content," bandmember Alice Nutter added. "There's no real sort of depth of ideas, its all shock horror."

The band will be playing a free show tonight on top of a parking garage in Washington, D.C.

You can chat live with Chumbawumba next Wednesday at 7 pm, when they'll be in the MTV Arena on MTV Online (aol keyword: mtvarena). Also, the band will be appearing on "120 Minutes" on MTV this Sunday at Midnight.
