-	''Animal Behavior'' is the first and up to date (July 2009) only single by [[Supergroup (music)|supergroup]] [[Praxis (band)|Praxis]].	+
-		+
-	The song was a natural choice to promote the band's debut album as well as [[Bill Laswell]]'s new label [[Axiom (record label)|Axiom]] since it was the only song of the album to contain lyrics. The vocals were done by former [[P-Funk]] member [[Bootsy Collins]] who also plays "space bass" while his P-Funk colleague [[Bernie Worrell]] can be heard on keyboards. Furthermore the core members, [[San Francisco Bay Area]] musicians [[Bryan Mantia|Bryan "Brain" Mantia]] (drums) and [[Buckethead]] (guitars) plus mastermind [[Bill Laswell]] (samples) were reinforced by [[turntablism|turntablist]] Af Next Man Flip (aka Afrika Baby Bam of the [[Jungle Brothers]]).	+
-		+
-	The single includes three different versions of the title track written by Collins, Laswell and Buckethead, an edited album version from ''[[Transmutation (Mutatis Mutandis)]]'', a short radio edit and a third version that was used for the music video. The original seven minute album version was also released on the [[Extended Play|EP]] ''[[A Taste of Mutation]]'' in the same year and later included to the Axiom compilation ''[[Funkcronomicon]]'' in 1995 while the video edit was re-released in 1993 on ''Manifestation: Axiom Collection II''. The song also was included as the last part of the suite "Cosmic Trigger" on the album ''Axiom Ambient - Lost in the Translation'' in 1994.	+

-	A video was released for promoting the album and single. It features frequent scenes shot in [[night vision]], footage of guitarist [[Buckethead]] moving around and a monster made out of trash.	+
-	When singer [[Bootsy Collins]] starts singing the first verse, another monster made out of soda cans appears. The video later shows how [[Buckethead]] fights the first robot with his severed hand but the monster manages to decapitate him. After that the band is shown playing the song in night vision. A scarecrow with a square head appears when the mellow part of the song starts. The members of the band are shown against a sunset background. The video ends with still shots of all the band members and the music fading out. The video clip was played on [[MTV]]'s [[Amp (TV series)|Amp]] and was included in Buckethead's 2006 DVD ''[[Secret Recipe (Buckethead DVD)|Secret Recipe]]''.	+
