    Fun fact, in order to release this song, Fatboy Slim had to release 100% of the track's royalties, 25% to each artist, which means he makes absolutely no money off this song. But he loved it so much and thought it was one of the best songs he ever did, so he released it anyway.

    The Rockerfeller Skank could legitimately be the best dance track of all time, effortlessly crossing genres; it appeals to the Northern Soul contingent, people who love sample-based music love it, folk into hip hop, people who like house music, I honestly don't know anyone who doesn't like it.

    The craziest part is that Lord Finesse (the voice) cleared the use of his voice without taking any royalties. He didn't even listen to the track and thought it was just his voice being scratched like in a hip hop track. He didn't know his voice sample was the main part being repeated over and over throughout the song. He lost out on a lot of money. Fatboy Slim himself didn't get any royalties either because he used too many samples.
