Quite possibly the single most controversial piece of electronic music ever produced. Released by The Prodigy in 1997, the lyrics consist entirely of eight words sampled from the classic hip-hop track "Give the Drummer Some." Four of those eight are, well, "smack my bitch up." The song has been interpreted as meaning a variety of things, ranging from shooting heroin to domestic violence to doing things intensely, the last of which is what the band maintains as the actual meaning.
The song was coupled with an equally controversial video, which depicts a wild night of sex, drugs, and violence from a first-person perspective. However, it was far from mindless- in fact, the video consistently ranks as one of the best ever made, and contains a twist that makes people rethink their entire interpretation of the song. Personally, I came away from it thinking the song was one big joke making fun of people who will dance to anything without caring what the lyrics are, but I'll let you decide for yourself.
Guy #1: Have you heard that song, "Smack My Bitch Up"?
Girl: OMG, that song is so offensive!
Guy #2: Yeah, but you have to admit, there's a lot worse. Just listen to rap music.

Controversial song by The prodigy with an equally controversial video. Glorifies women-beating and casual, unprotected sex as well as violent and unsociable behaviour. The video was refused by MTV. In the light of MTV dropping their standards, the video has been played before the watershed times in recent years.
Also refering to bitch-slapping something to show ones physical prowess over it.
Change my pitch up, smack my bitch up!

This song is simply about getting drunk or otherwise wasted--there are also connotations of antisocial behavior and violence in the video, and as always with the Prodigy, also in the character and style of the song. Whilst not specifically focusing on spousal abuse, there is an obvious and controversial reading where the phrase and entire song are about nothing more than striking a women.
In England, where the song originates from, 'smack' is common slang for heroin, although contemporarily can refer to any intoxicant.
Smith: Miles, would you care to join one in the conservatory for armagnac and fine cigars?
Miles: Homes, Smack My Bitch Up.
