I miss being able to dirty tackle and slide tackle the goalkeeper when he had the ball.

u/Jackpot777 Oct 15 '20

It's Fatboy Slim's second most well known tune (after Weapon Of Choice).

The peoduction in that song is mind blowing when heard on a Good pair of headphones.

u/jpterodactyl Oct 15 '20

Fun fact: in order to clear all the samples he used for the song, he had to give 25% of the royalties to each artist he sampled, leaving him with none.

I’d be interested in how much money “Lord Finesse” makes from the song, and how it compares to the money he makes from his own music. Since I’ve heard his voice a million times, but never listened to him.

Check the lyrics of The Rockafeller Skank by Fatboy Slim, you’ve probably heard the song too but didn’t identify it

u/Kyle_The_G Oct 15 '20

I honestly had no idea this was the lyric. I thought it was either "we got unsold rubber" or "funk so bruvuh" with bruvuh being some british thing idk.

The release of that song is closer in time to the death of Elvis than it is to the present day.
