Haha, yeah, just now when this song came on I was instantly transported back to Zwift commercials. I mean, not terrible to be transported back to the Tour, but whoa, whiplash!

If it wasn't for a clever and admittedly endearing music video, this track would never, ever have seen the light of day.  Yes, I get that seeing Walken doing the hotel dance is pretty entertaining, but take that away and what are you left with?  Not much...

Besides, check out buddy's wiki photo---->  Does that guy look like he has even one tiny funky bone in that body?  Nah...corporate drivel, I say...

I prefer the type style on the left.  My 2 cents. I  RP.

Serif fonts are better for reading sentences as the serifs help to guide the eye across each line. Non-serif fonts are typically used for headings, subject lines, titles, etc.

Halfway between the gutter and the stars...

Is Slim referencing Oscar Wilde?


“We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.”

Or maybe Slim is referencing Chrissie Hynde (referencing Oscar Wilde):



"We are all of us in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars"

As someone who slept in hotels two to four nights a week for almost thirty years, the Christopher Walken dance to this was amazingly liberating. I couldn't check in anyplace afterwards without riding the luggage cart or tap dancing down the escalator. 

Wish I could have done the wall walking and flying.

I never realized the whole song is about Dune! Like Paul Atreides, his weapon of choice is his voice.

Usually with Fatboy Slim "borrowing" consists of direct samples, but in this song he actually hired Bootsy Collins (of p-funk fame) to sing. It's definitely a nod to the classic hip hop track tho.

I love his first album, nothing since. This has the beat and rhythm of a serious club number with invested street-cred, but there's just some extra cheese factor spread across the top that makes me think, "Huh. Car Commercial."

People compain that Blue Man Group\'s tracks aren\'t worth airplay because they require their visual component... I would say that this song is worthless without Spike Jonze\'s video w\' Christopher Walken\'s style and the giant portrait of Norman Cook subtley resting in the lobby.
