That, Tubthumping, Rockafeller Skank (which actually holds up as a damn good song) all remind me of the cheesy 90s radio

The song features the repeated line "Right about now, the funk soul brother. Check it out now, the funk soul brother", which is a vocal sample of rapper Lord Finesse on the track "Vinyl Dog Vibe" by Vinyl Dogs.[3]

The song also features four other samples, including a sample of the song "Sliced Tomatoes" by the band Just Brothers (a popular Northern Soul track), Bobby Fuller's "I Fought the Law (and the Law Won)", and a sample of "Beat Girl" by John Barry and his Orchestra. A guitar line from the song "Peter Gunn" by Art of Noise featuring Duane Eddy is also sampled.[4]

Fatboy Slim has stated that to clear the samples and release the song he had to release 100% of the track's royalties, 25% to each artist, meaning he receives no royalties himself.[5]

I don't see the comparison between "I'm Blue Da Ba Dee" and "Rockfella Skank." I might be extremely partial because the latter has a sample of Duane Eddy's guitar playing, but I think it is a much better song. I never saw it as cheesy but as laid back and cool, and the video is laid back, cool, and humorous as well.

I don't think the song is the type of song that "gets stuck in your head and stays there" like the other two songs... maybe it is but in a bad way. In fact when I played the song on YT after 10 seconds I wish I could forget what I just heard immediately.

No, you went off on some nonsensical tangent about how I shouldn't be grouping the three together.

I'm not sure how things became over-complicated, or went off on a tangent. I think you are responding to things I haven't said.

I'll see you in the Musicbanter Improvement Thread when sopych complains about that rediculous picture of redicule.

But this is boring me so let's drop it.
