@@allanbeltre9106 It 's so lucky if that happens. You might have to work your ass off. Christophe Walken myst do a lot to stay in shape. He is also a dancer.
He usually dances in his movies, it's one of his favorite things to do. There's zero chance he wasn't at least dancing behind the scenes. But whether or not we get to see it is the question.
isnt this song inspired by dune? saw a theory once where the lyrics are refering the Voice, also "walk without rhythm, it wont attract the worm", i doubt it, but its a funny theory nonetheless

It has now been confirmed that Christopher Walken will play the emperor in Dune 2. “Walk without rhythm, you won’t attract the worm” Someone is a fucking prophet.
A lovely little detail is that Walken, a trained tap-dancer, is not only doing several tap steps, but that in some shots (when he gets in the elevator), the sound of his taps are left in. Fatboy Slim, Christopher Walken, Spike Jonze - a trio of the greatest artists ever.
This music video won multiple awards and it's just a video of Christopher Walken dancing around a deserted building which means that his dance moves are literally so fucking incredible that he won awards based on his dance skill alone.
I swear to god Christopher Walken could do some of the silliest stuff on earth and still have that suave American gangster poker face. And I'd still take him seriously.
Well, he was present the night Natalie woods was murdered by her husband, and no one seemed to care enough to ask Walken what went down, so yeah, everyone takes him seriously.
Here from the future of 2024 after the realization that Christopher Walken would eventually go on to star as as the Emperor in Dune Part ii, in thus, confirming Fatboy Slim’s prophetic qualities as the true, Lisan Al Gaib.
10 years ago I was listening to this song and repeated the lyrics “Walk without rhythm, you won’t attract the worm” in a chat room. Someone asked me if I had read Dune. I had no idea what he was talking about, so I took up his recommendation to check out the book. The rest is history. Bless the MusicMaker and his jams. The Beats must flow!
Came from a Dune meme ( ruclips.net/video/Plp3-FSu1Rw/видео.html&ab_channel=BobDoyle ). There was a comment quoting these lyrics and had to fact check because I couldn't remember the lyrics myself... I'm going through other comments that brought this up aswell with a stupid face on my face and reading it all in disbelief lol
Every year, I'll be sitting down quietly somewhere, and there'll be a moment where I suddenly remember Christopher Walken dancing with class, grace, and panache, and I'll search for this song and I'll play it....and for a while, everything is right with the world.
I just came across that line while reading Dune today! Blew my mind and had to jump to this video to see if anyone else made the connection. So thank you, haha. And the line "Listen to the sound of my voice, You can check it on out, it's the weapon of choice" could be describing the Bene Gesserit.
Christopher Walken breaks the Universe. He is simultaneously himself, all his characters, and his specific character, in everything he plays. He never fails to deliver on any of those.
Christopher wanted his dancing to be professionally recorded, as he trained as a dancer before acting, and Spike suggested featuring in this video lmao
@@prawngravy18 'if you walk without rhythm, you wont attract the worm' is from dune and christopher walken is playing the padishah emperor in the new dune
@@ottodidakt3069 Who cares? Why are people so hung up on politics all of the time? Besides, this video has nothing to do with politics. Don't bring that shit here.
This makes you admire Christopher Walken even more, who started out as a dancer. Like Jimmy Cagney once said after some tried to typecast him as a gangster, "Once a song and dance man, always a song and dance man." (Cagney always thought himself as a showman first)
For roughly 3 minutes of every day Christopher walken performs this dance to appease the elder gods and keep humanity alive and safe for another day. Thanks Christopher walken
@the9thplanet768 Not really. He was wasted on that role. Just a frail old man that barely mustered enough energy for one taunt. He didnt even look indimidating when he was berating the Harkonnen. As much as i love Walken he was the wrong choice.

@@Kacpa2the emperor is actually very weak in the novels too. His wife is a been gesserit who won’t allow him a son, his daughter is also trained in their ways, and his lineage would likely have ended with him anyways. He presents himself as big and pompous like wearing the clothing of a Sarsaukar and having grand architecture when his only true power is the ever more complacent army of Sardaukar. I admit it’s fun to watch that difference of how he presents himself vs how he actually is in the novels but the movies are already packed tight anyway and I didn’t mind them skipping straight to the point, especially since we see most of his scenes from the perspective of others anyway
As a 10 year old kid in the 2000s, this song heavily influenced my musical taste for the rest of my life. This song was and is just so much fun to move to. Fatboy Slim changed it all for me
Such a fantastic novel.. too bad the Herbert family won't let us release the old Dune PC games on GoG or remaster them.. but they'll let Hollywood create new movies about Dune. Such a travesty.
I get that vibe off Christopher Walken when I watch **anything** he does. Big-budget movie, low-budget indie film, main character, brief appearance, any genre...when I'm watching him play a role I always get the sense that on some level, in some way, somewhere back in his mind (but not, like, *really* far back) he's thinking "Holy shit...I **still** can't believe I get paid great big piles of cash to do this!! This is *AWESOME*!!!" I think it's most definitely present in the video. I remember seeing an interview with Walken years ago in which he mentioned that he didn't get into showbiz to be a movie actor; what he *really* wanted to be was a "Song-And-Dance Man," doing stage musicals, stuff like that. He got a lot of that training well before his career started transitioning into straight character roles. Here, he's pursuing his first love. Old as he is, he can still cut a rug. I think that energy gets projected into his performances and informs upon them. But one reason why he's one of all-time fave actors.
My mom is a huge Walken fan and was well aware of his dancing skills, yet somehow she never saw this music video. Showed it to her and she cried tears of happiness 😭
Did you let you're know that he needed not one but 2 different stunt doubles to do some dance for him in the making of music video. You'll notice stunt double #1 doing the no-handed cartwheel, and #2 leaping off the table
@@jofbeats11 Considering his age when this was made and how big a star he is it was probably cheaper to hire stuntmen than it would be the cost to insure and possible financial lost if he got hurt doing them. Especially if he had any movie projects coming up.
I'm guessing I'm your mom's age or older. I also love Walken's performances. First saw him in Deer Hunter. Also love that hilarious little roll in Woody Allen's Annie Hall (the only part of the movie I liked actually.) He's also great in Hairspray. 🙂
I was so overwhelmed with how good this song was, I remember pacing up and down and then deciding that i wanted to learn to make music. Thank you Fat Boy slim.
This has always been one of my favorite music videos from childhood. I could watch Christopher Walken dance for ages and it would put me in a great mood. He is a national treasure.
How did I go through 19 years without possibly even knowing what is in this masterpiece of a music video? I just sat with my mouth open for 3 and a half minutes seeing Christopher Walken perform one of the best choreographies in the world.
This music video will never get old. The cinematic quality, like this was ripped straight from a run of the mill B-Film. The ceaseless swagger of Walken. The way the sound and visuals create a near seamless loop from end to start. Not to mention the funk that is this song.

‘Walk without Rhythm and it won’t attract the worm’….20+ year foreshadow of Walken appearing in Dune 2 😂
Or maby just a reference to a 35 year old book at the time?
Fellow mind, Exact the same thought. Just saw it yesterday.
@@siggari actually a reference to a 16 year old movie at the time. The line in the book is a bit different.
Also, obviously @danhan121 was kidding.
So uncanny so uncanny…must be why Villeneuve cast Walken as the Emperor Shaddam Corrino IV
A certain Baron only survives Dune pt1 by flying to the ceiling:
an Emperor needs be better at it to seem plausible in the role.
I will die happy if there is behind the scenes footage from Dune: Part Two of Walken dancing to this in costume as the Emperor.
he does looks he is about too?
He usually dances in his movies, it's one of his favorite things to do. There's zero chance he wasn't at least dancing behind the scenes. But whether or not we get to see it is the question.
It would be perfect music for the blooper reel
isnt this song inspired by dune? saw a theory once where the lyrics are refering the Voice, also "walk without rhythm, it wont attract the worm", i doubt it, but its a funny theory nonetheless
Ironically, he had no clue about this song's connection to Dune until after he filmed.
I just imagine this to be the sole reason why Villeneuve casted Walken to be the Emperor in Dune
"Listen, Fat Man... I got a fever... And the only prescription... Is more Spice"

This song legit references Dune

I'm upset I never saw this. Same age and same year too! I think I was always to busy on GameFAQS or pc/nintendo games.
cool to hear each generation's influences. Thanks.
i was 20 years old and i can say same thing
I've watched this 100s of times over the years. It never gets stale. It's like it renews itself with each viewing.
My first time seeing it! Wow amazing
That's Christopher Walken consuming your essence.
Christopher Walken was trained as a classical tap dancer same a Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire. He such a bad ass! Get it Christopher! He make the song!
I didn't know that
Awesome
Was just watching the dub where Astaire dances to this track. Both amazing!
Funny, during the video I thought “he dances like Fred Astaire.”
Amazing.
It's why he speaks with the unusual rhythm he does.... He speaks like he's dancing.
Also my favorite SNL host. Walken is awesome...
Hard to believe this is 20 years old. Still one of the most brilliant videos ever made.
why thank you for an other gloomy afternoon of listening to 90s music and being sad and upbeat at the same time. feeling old!
It could use more cowbell though...
Nostalgic
@@cautiouslyhopeful OF COURSE 🤣🤣🤣
It took me decades to understand that “Walk Without Rhythm; You won’t attract the worm.” was a Dune reference.
and the weapon of choice is the weirding module
Such a fantastic novel.. too bad the Herbert family won't let us release the old Dune PC games on GoG or remaster them.. but they'll let Hollywood create new movies about Dune. Such a travesty.
I'm looking forward to dune
@@casedistorted Hey, Denis Villeneuve is a great visionary. Look what he did with Arrival and Blade Runner 2049.
I have as just watching Dune, and when Paul said the line, I screamed. 😂
You can tell Christopher is just having a blast making this.
🤘
I get that vibe off Christopher Walken when I watch **anything** he does.
Big-budget movie, low-budget indie film, main character, brief appearance, any genre...when I'm watching him play a role I always get the sense that on some level, in some way, somewhere back in his mind (but not, like, *really* far back) he's thinking "Holy shit...I **still** can't believe I get paid great big piles of cash to do this!! This is *AWESOME*!!!"
I think it's most definitely present in the video. I remember seeing an interview with Walken years ago in which he mentioned that he didn't get into showbiz to be a movie actor; what he *really* wanted to be was a "Song-And-Dance Man," doing stage musicals, stuff like that. He got a lot of that training well before his career started transitioning into straight character roles.
Here, he's pursuing his first love. Old as he is, he can still cut a rug.
I think that energy gets projected into his performances and informs upon them. But one reason why he's one of all-time fave actors.
@@gregrock7451 and I don't know if it's technically true, but he notoriously never turns a project down.
Shut up, no I can't... Don't tell me what I can and can't do...
Doubt it
That man. Just doing what he feels like doing. Go with the flow! 👌
My mom is a huge Walken fan and was well aware of his dancing skills, yet somehow she never saw this music video. Showed it to her and she cried tears of happiness 😭
Great to show this to your mom and love your mom for that.
yea that's what he said @Tomyum19
Did you let you're know that he needed not one but 2 different stunt doubles to do some dance for him in the making of music video. You'll notice stunt double #1 doing the no-handed cartwheel, and #2 leaping off the table
@@jofbeats11 Considering his age when this was made and how big a star he is it was probably cheaper to hire stuntmen than it would be the cost to insure and possible financial lost if he got hurt doing them. Especially if he had any movie projects coming up.
I'm guessing I'm your mom's age or older. I also love Walken's performances. First saw him in Deer Hunter. Also love that hilarious little roll in Woody Allen's Annie Hall (the only part of the movie I liked actually.) He's also great in Hairspray. 🙂
That's not Christopher Walken.
That's Christopher Dancin'.
Lol
😂😂👍👍👍
Nice!! 😂👍
Good one
Aw damn! Someone already beat me to that joke! LOL Nice!
20 years, still not tired to watch it...
I was so overwhelmed with how good this song was, I remember pacing up and down and then deciding that i wanted to learn to make music. Thank you Fat Boy slim.
christopher walken.
but he's even better when:
christopher dancen
"Garth, that was a haiku."
And Christopher Flyen
@@TommyBravoOG Yeah it was. love it ✨💖✨
🤯
How is this comment only 2 weeks old? How!?
Fun fact: This isn't actually a music video. It's just hidden camera footage of what Christopher Walken does when no one's around.
That's so true.
Too bad for them!
Explains the shitty aspect ratio >:(
HeartyEnglishGirl no one said that, you idiot
the aspect ratio was a condition of Mr Walken appearing; show some respect, dude
"Hey Christopher, glad you're here. Did you read the script for the video?"
-"Nah. Just cue the music and keep the camera on me, I got this."
I heard that the flying part was him improvising.
Halfway between the gutter and the stars.
For the win. For all the wins. For everything.
@@nikolatovar9884 where you're laying and gazing up at?
Haha perfectly right.
"I am sorry you had to wait, Mr. Walken, I hope you found a way to keep yourself busy. Why are there footprints on the walls?"
The wife is away on a business trip.
The teens are at Comic-con.
I'm in the living room trying to imitate these moves. 🕺
How did you do the flying part?
😂enjoy yourself sir
Good luck
Don't jump unless you really want to😂
you can do it Joe:))
How Walken kept a straight face shooting this is a miracle.
This probably something that comes across as completely normal, trivial even like it's just something he does regularly.
He should take up acting
That's what true professionals do.
I'm sure it was super easy for him. A Walken the park, even.
He's a professional.
He’s just been cast as Emperor Shaddam IV in the second part of Dune…insane casting…the circle is complete
Un de mes clips préféré , superbe prestation de Christopher walken.
This has always been one of my favorite music videos from childhood. I could watch Christopher Walken dance for ages and it would put me in a great mood. He is a national treasure.
Yeah, it goes back to my mid 40's
This is merely Walken at 0.0001% power.
Jacob Locklear Please, Walken would blink him out of existence.
If they ever battled the entire universe would collapse
Your feet stink. Main plan for
U should see him when he has his cowbell
This isn't even his final form
How did I go through 19 years without possibly even knowing what is in this masterpiece of a music video? I just sat with my mouth open for 3 and a half minutes seeing Christopher Walken perform one of the best choreographies in the world.
Same here, how did I not know this gem existed until today?? Walken is a f'ing legend
YOU GUYS!! me too 😅 better late than never, though, right?
I came on here to say the same!!! What the heck??!! Fantastic!
Christopher Walken had professional dance training!
welcome to the rest of your life kids
Norman Cook's videos are always out of the box. This is no exception.
This is one of my favorite MVs of all time. Christopher Walken is one of a kind! Almost perfect. It just needed more cowbell. 😉
Haha that’s what I kept thinking. Between this and Cow Bell, he’s an absolute legend.
🤣🤣🤣
Your comment is perfect.
MORE cowbell!
Christopher said it himself.
The bright side of self quarantine.
Made me laugh
u a legend
😂
😂😂😂
Couldn't agree more 😁
teenager me when this came out, damn Christopher Walken looks old here. Adult me watching this now, Damn Christopher Walken looks young here.
So damn true...
Lol my guy this man has been old my whole life and I’m 30+
@@1beat2hearts He looks much younger in Batman returns which was only 8 years prior to this video. ruclips.net/video/PZE1oht2ZxY/видео.html
Yesss
Same. How?
Still the best damn song and video out there. 20 years from now still gonna blow minds.
This video perfectly captures the emotional journey music can take you on, and the inevitable come down.
I Agree.👍
Love it. Christopher Walken is effortlessly cool.
They didn't make a music video, they just filmed Christopher Walken having a typical quiet day.
I love the top-quality cinematography for what is a handsomely goofy routine.
"You may be cool, but you'll never be Christopher Walken dancing alone in an empty hotel cool."
Noone is . NOONE .
This music video will never get old.
The cinematic quality, like this was ripped straight from a run of the mill B-Film.
The ceaseless swagger of Walken.
The way the sound and visuals create a near seamless loop from end to start.
Not to mention the funk that is this song.
There is no special effect. In fact, Christopher Walken really can fly.
Everybody knows that
True that
That would be Christopher Flyen
***** Oh my... LOL...!!!
Yours is the best comment I've seen in a long time...!!
Who do you think taught birds to fly?
Ever wanted a 3:45 second video of Christopher Walken dancing to some DOPE ASS MUSIC well here you go
