"Charlie Big Potato" was the first single taken from Post Orgasmic Chill by Skunk Anansie. The single came after the band switched record labels moving away from the independent label One Little Indian onto Virgin Records. It was released in March of 1999, almost 2 years after their previous single. CD1 came with an interactive element featuring the video and CD 2 came with three specially produced polariod photographs of the band. The song was a favourite at festivals and Skin often performs a slower version of the song at her solo gigs.
