"Poison" is a 1990 single by the New Edition spinoff group, Bell Biv DeVoe. This song - in the style of New Jack Swing, a late-80s hybrid of R&B and hip hop - was the group's most successful, and sings of the dangers of falling in love.
While the song samples from hip hop (Kool G. Rap's "Poison"), the line "Never trust a big butt and a smile" would quickly become a staple of hip hop. In the outro, BBD gives shout-outs to their former New Edition bandmates, Bobby Brown, Ralph Tresvant and Johnny Gill.
On the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, "Poison" rose from #52 to #38 in the week of April 14, 1990, and eventually peaked at #3 for four consecutive weeks, beginning on June 9, 1990. "Poison" became one of the most successful singles of 1990 (see 1990 in music), and was a staple on MTV and mainstream radio in the summer, spending ten weeks in the Top 10.
It has been used in film ("Pootie Tang"), television ("It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia", "Scrubs"), and videogames (2004's "", on New Jack Swing radio station CSR 103.9). It is also referenced in the Madvillain song, "Fancy Clown" it has also been used in the 2008 film Pineapple Express.
