After more than a month ago we had an article about The Prodigy’s future single, Take Me To The Hospital. Well, the video is finally here, for the actual release of the single you’ll have to wait till August 31. The video was made available through the band’s official website on August 5, after premiering on the PlayStation 3 application, VidZone (like U2’s latest single). The video for Take Me To The Hospital was directed by Paul Dugdale, who fans might know as the author of the frequently updated mini-movies documenting The Prodigy’s tour. Surprinsingly, it was filmed at the Pinewood Studios and not some old, abandoned… something. To achieve a more grainy picture, Dugdale went for VHS and the result really does look like some old video you had stashed somewhere in the garage. After a Noel Clarke video, a live video and an animated video, it was about time for the band to make an effort and shake it a little bit for the camera. With some shots reminiscing of the Firestarter video, Take Me To The Hospital it’s pretty simple and dirty and also ant-logo-free. However, whenever the chipmunk voices kick in with the chorus, we do see an army of little vandals wearing… chipmunk masks.

British rave-masters, The Prodigy have announced Take Me to the Hospital as their new single from Invaders Must Die. It will be released in August. There are also a number of new films to come our way, exclusively through Babelgum. They were shot by Duggers, so fans in touch with the band’s youtube page know what to expect. The footage will include live performances (including Run with the Wolves), behind the scenes series, as well as a mini-movie.

No doubt, updated fans were expecting Take Me to the Hospital as the new single, since Liam Howlett was considering it even before Warrior’s Dance. On the other hand, the crowds demand it, the heavy rave anthem being a favourite at live shows. Omen and Warrior’s Dance were the more obvious single from the album, this one is a gift for the hardcore followers.
