Skunk Anansie are a British band whose members include Skin (lead vocals), Cass (guitar, bass, backing vocals), Ace (guitar, backing vocals) and Mark Richardson (drums and percussion).
Skunk Anansie formed in March 1994, disbanded in 2001 and reformed in 2009. The name "Skunk Anansie" is taken from Akann folk tales of Anansi the spider-man of Ghana, with "Skunk" added to "make the name nastier".
They have released six studio albums: Paranoid & Sunburnt (1995), Stoosh (1996), Post Orgasmic Chill (1999), Wonderlustre (2010), Black Traffic (2012) and Anarchytecture (2016); one compilation album, Smashes and Trashes (2009); and several hit singles, including "Charity", "Hedonism", "Selling Jesus" and "Weak".
They are often grouped as part of a Britrock movement, running alongside Britpop. The band, in 2004, was named as one of the most successful UK chart acts between 1952 and 2003 by the Guinness Book of British Hit Singles & Albums, with a total of 141 weeks on both the singles and album charts ranking them at No. 491. When the book first published this annual top 500 list in 2000, it only involved weeks spent on the singles chart until 2004's 17th edition, meaning the band's highest ranking has not been notified in any of the past editions.
Skunks are mammals known for their ability to spray a liquid with a strong odor. Different species of skunk vary in appearance from black-and-white to brown or cream colored, but all have warning coloration.
1630s, squunck, from a southern New England Algonquian language (probably Abenaki) seganku, from Proto-Algonquian */šeka:kwa/, from */šek-/ "to urinate" + */-a:kw/ "fox." As an insult, attested from 1841. Skunk cabbage is attested from 1751; earlier skunkweed (1738). In 1634, a skunk was described in the Jesuit Relations:
Skunk species vary in size from about 15.6 to 37 in (40 to 94 cm) long and in weight from about 1.1 lb (0.50 kg) (spotted skunks) to 18 lb (8.2 kg) (hog-nosed skunks). They have moderately elongated bodies with relatively short, well-muscled legs and long front claws for digging.
Although the most common fur color is black and white, some skunks are brown or grey and a few are cream-colored. All skunks are striped, even from birth. They may have a single thick stripe across back and tail, two thinner stripes, or a series of white spots and broken stripes (in the case of the spotted skunk). Some also have stripes on their legs.

Die englische Rock-Gruppe Skunk Anansie schaffte 1996, zwei Jahre nach ihrer Gründung, den Durchbruch mit ihrem Welthit Hedonism. Nachdem sich die Band 2001 aufgelöst hatte, trafen sich die Gruppenmitglieder 2008 wieder, um ein Best Of-Album aufzunehmen und erarbeiteten dabei auch neue Stücke. Als Reunion versteht die Band ihr neuerliches gemeinsames Schaffen aber nicht. Black Traffic ist das sechste Studio-Album der Band. Es ist das Produkt eines langen und experimentellen Prozesses, entstanden in monatelangen Sessions in London und Los Angeles. Wenn es um Liveshows geht, sind Skunk Anansie berühmt für ihre intensiven Auftritte und hochtourigen Performances. 3sat zeigt ein Konzert von Skunk Anansie vom Zeltfestival 2012 in Mainz., 60 Minuten

I SMOKED THE SHIT THAT MADE YOU LOVE
DROWNED ALL YOUR PROBLEMS LIKE A WIFE
BLANKED OUT YOUR ANGER WITH MY FACE
WASTED MY DAYS TO HIDE DISGRACE
I DID IT ALL, DID IT ALL
ALL IN THE NAME OF PITY
YOU LOVED TO TAUNT ME WITH YOUR SEX
KICKED UP THE MEMORY IN MY HEAD
WATCH MY NEUROSIS BUILDING UP
SWALLOWED THE TRUTH YOUR MIND FORGOT
YOU DID IT ALL, DID IT ALL
ALL IN THE NAME OF PITY
YOU TRIED TO DRAG ME IN AGAIN
SPINNING YOUR LIES AND YOUR SUFFERING
TOOK ALL YOUR THOUGHTS AND TURNED THEM SANE
(SO) YOU COULD BELIEVE YOU`RE NOT TO BLAME
YOU DID IT ALL, DID IT ALL
ALL IN THE NAME OF PITY
YOU TRIED AND TRIED TO USE MY LIFE
TO KEEP YOUR AGGRESION TRIVALIZED
NEVER AN EGO IN CONTROL
