6 Things You Probably Didn’t Know about Fat Boy Slim…
1. He was born in 1963 in Kent, under the name Quentin Leo Cook. He uses the name Norman Cook when he doesn’t go by the stage name Fatboy Slim (which he acquired in 1996.)
2. In high school, he played the drums in a rock band called Disque Attack. After the singer left the band, he performed the lead vocals as well.
3. He can play the guitar, keyboards, bass guitar and drums.
4. His hit song The Rockafeller Skank (from the 1998 album You’ve Come a Long Way, Baby) was featured in the 1999 teen romantic comedy She’s All That. The album also features the songs Gangster Trippin, Praise You, and Right Here, Right Now.
5. The cover of the album features a fat boy wearing a T-shirt that says “I’m Number 1, So Why Try Harder”. “We’re number two so we try harder” is one of the most famous slogans in advertising history. Car-rental company Avis came up with the slogan and a campaign that backed the slogan up. It talked about why working with the second best company was a better option for the customer. (Un)fortunately, this slogan made them number 1, and eventually worked against them.
6. His 2000 single Weapon of Choice gained huge popularity, both for the song and the video. The video for the song Weapon of Choice features actor Christopher Walken (who won Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his role in the movie The Deer Hunter in 1978) dancing. His fun and energetic dancing is the whole focus of the video. He was 57 at the time and choreographed his own moves, which won him an MTV Music Award. The song won several other MTV Music Awards, as well as a Grammy for Best Short Form Video. Wanna see?
