Ten Years Already?

This might make you feel old: ten summers ago, the single The Rockafeller Skank with its repeating “Right about now / the funk soul brother / check it out now / the funk sould brother” mantra was released by Fatboy Slim, a.k.a. Norman Cook. Here’s the video for old times’ sake.

Here’s the best-known video to come from the album, the Spike Jonze-directed video for Praise You (one of the first things I ever played on the accordion):

And while not off the album, here’s a Fatboy Slim remix of Cornershop’s ode to Bollywood, Brimful of Asha, from the same era:

    When I entered University, Bon Jovi's Livin' on a Prayer, U2's With or Without You and New Order's Bizarre Love Triangle were the big hits on campus.

    When I left University, Green Day's Basket Case, The Offspring's Come Out and Play and Nine Inch Nails' Closer were the big hits on campus.
