"Nigger" is the name of the first single, released by Clawfinger. Ironically, the song has anti-racist theme. The single also has two covers and two videos. The first music video was shot in 1992.[1] Its Black & white video, which shows grainy images of Clawfinger playing, intercut with the words "Understand", "knowledge", "racism", "power" and various catchphrases questioning the use of the title word. The other Swedish version was shot in 1993.[2] It was a more colorful video, which used many of the same live scenes as the first version, but the playing of the group is mixed with videos of military unrest and house fires.

The music video was shot in 1995.[3] The film shows black-white video of house and colorful boy, who walks in the house. The song is mixed with kid voice, singing (When i grow up there will be a day. When everybody has to do what i say) and shouting.

"Biggest and the Best"

"Biggest and the Best" is a song released by Clawfinger in 1997.[4] The song appeared in album Clawfinger and Biggest and the Best Of.

The song is written about the selfish acts of man, who equates himself to God, and considers himself the Almighty. But the main idea of the song is an ironic attitude to people of such type and its purpose is to criticise arrogance.
