Fatboy Slim - "Praise You"

Is everyone aware of how hilariously entertaining Fatboy Slim's music videos are? I definitely wasn't.  I thought I would bring it back old school while we're on the topic of talented deejays.  Fatboy Slim (Norman Cook) was born in the UK and never had much success in playing instruments.  So he got his hands on the turntables and made magic.  

The following comment is from a die-hard fan that fits Fatboy's persona to the tee.  It'll hard to meet someone "who's attended a Fatboy gig and not had a laugh, a bit of a dance, acted a bit silly and had a damn good time- which, at the end of the day, is what this dance malarky is all about, isn't it?"

All his videos are pretty comical, but "Praise You" is by far the best.  It hardly cost anything either.  It's really just a recording of a prank pulled at a California movie theater so it took less than $1,000 to make. But it was dubbed "Best Breakthrough Video and Direction" at the MTV Video Music Awards, showing that money isn't everything.
