"Funky Shit" comes off The Fat of the Land, the Prodigy's third studio album, which XL Recordings released on 30 June 1997, and it's Liam Howlett's work from top to bottom: he composed it, produced it and mixed it himself.

That fits the album as a whole, where Howlett wrote most of the music, though it was also the first Prodigy record to take contributions from Keith Flint. The album carried the English electronic group to the top of the charts in both the UK and the US and on to more than 10 million sales worldwide, their biggest seller, and it came wrapped in a photo of a moon crab shot in Costa Rica, under a new logo that dropped "The" and added an ant.
