Fatboy Slim - Weapon of Choice

[Krieg]

I was just listening to Fatboy Slim's Weapon of Choice and was struck by something for the first time...

Walk without rhythm, it won't attract the worm
Walk without rhythm, and it won't attract the worm
Walk without rhythm, and it won't attract the worm
if you walk without rhythm, you'll never learn

Was there a Dune reference there that I've been missing all this time?!?!

 

[Kesh]

I knew that line sounded familiar, but I couldn't place it. I think you may be right.

Heheheh, that's great. Kind of an awkward Dune reference, too...

Dune rocks, but who's Fatboy Slim? What kind of music do they play?

 

[Tarrasque Wrangler]

Fatboy Slim is an techno artist whose songs were inescapable about 5 years ago or so. He did "Rockefeller Skank" ("Right about now, funk soul brother, check it out now, funk soul brother") and "Praise You" and was on just about every movie soundtrack one year.

"Weapon of Choice" was the video, directed by Spike Jonze, with Christopher Walken flying around a hotel BTW.

"Weapon of Choice" was the video, directed by Spike Jonze, with Christopher Walken flying around a hotel BTW.

And for that, it is officially the coolest music video ever. Where else do you get to see that man dancing and flying?

 

[Heretic Apostate]

Tiberius: You do know that Christopher Walken was once known as the "Song and Dance Man," right? I haven't seen his older films, but I'm guessing he had many films where he had dance routines.

Of course, none of them probably have him floating around a hotel room...

Love the video, by the way.

"Weapon of Choice" is about Dune

Its about Paul more specificly. His "weapon of choice" was the "voice." Thus

"Don't be alarmed by the sound of my voice, check out my new weapon, my weapon of choice."

All the lyrics are about Paul in some way. "My girl, she don't understand, its become much mpre than being a man..."

If someone knows where to find that video with Walken online, I would be thrilled. I never got a chance to see the thing, just clips from it.

Streaming. Quality is not the best.
