Fatboy Slim

Star 69 – What the F**k

Astralwerks

Six remixes of the title track, plus a QuickTime clip of Spike Jonze’s award-winning video for “Weapon Of Choice” (which features a dancing Christopher Walken). The original “Star 69” is not one of my favorite Fatboy Slim tracks, though Timo Maas’ seven-minute remix does manage to make it somewhat interesting, with a fake-out middle. The real gem here is the video – it’s easy to see why it walked away with six awards, though why it got beat out by N’Sync for “Best Dance” is beyond me. Walken moves like a cat.
