"Poison" is a song by The Prodigy, released as the group's ninth single on March 6 1995. It was the fourth single from the album "Music for the Jilted Generation". For the first time, the contents on the 12" vinyl record and CD single releases were identical. Maxim Reality provides the vocals for this track.

The music video was directed by Walter Stern. The band perform the track in a basement-like location. By the end of the video, the floor has turned into a mud-bath where Keith Flint is wrestling with other band members.

The CD singles art follows a theme similar to the song: rat poison. The front cover features a box of said poison, the back shows a picture of a dead and decomposing rodent, and the CD itself has a rat superimposed onto it. [ [http://www.discogs.com/viewimages?release=7750 "Poison" CD single] ]
