With plenty of hits under his belt and even a concept-album-cum-musical about Imelda Marcos, Norman Cook, aka Fatboy Slim has a long legacy ahead of him, heading into his October 10 show in Republiq. But lyrics on loop and sick beats aren’t all that make Fatboy Slim’s music memorable. His music videos definitely stand out as an audiovisual feasts.

8. Gangster Trippin’

Also Known As: The video Michael Bay probably wet himself over.

Explosions, explosions, and even more explosions! It’s a video that is simple in execution, but will vicariously blow your mind.

Best Moment: The point at 2:08 when they blow up Fatboy Slim’s photo.

7. Going Out Of My Head

Also Kown As: Music is a communicable disease.

A boom box is passed on from person to person in this video, and we were half-expecting it to end up with the first guy by the end of it, but alack and alas, it wasn’t meant to be.

Best Moment: Around 0:44, when the boom box changes hands for the first time.

6. Ya Mama

Also Known As: This is how full body Tourette’s must feel like.

Speaking of music as a communicable disease, this video gives new meaning to the word “infectious” music. Push the tempo, indeed.

Best Moment: Around 2:40 when the whole marketplace starts dancing like crazy.

5. Champion Sound

Also Known As: The video that will make Macaulay Culkin cry.

One of the most ridiculous Rube Goldberg machines ever! Definitely a fun video, and we like to imagine this was done in one take.

Best Moment: 2:29, when the ping pong ball finally hits its target—Fatboy Slim.

4. Praise You

Also Known As: A flash mob before flash mobs were a thing.

Silly dancing and Fatboy Slim. They go so well together.

Best Moment: 1:06, the first time they start jumping around. It only gets better from there.

3. Right Here, Right Now

Also Know As: The video creationists don’t want you to see.

A pretty ambitious video about the history of the world and evolution in pseudo time lapse, it’s quite a sight to see, even if it’s probably anything but accurate.

Best Moment: Around 2:05, when the gorilla starts dancing like an idiot. Silly dancing and Fatboy Slim, indeed.

2. Rockafeller Skank

Also Known As: Right About Now.

This is the song that started it all and brought Fatboy Slim into the mainstream consciousness.

Best Moment: 2:11, when the entire lyrics of the song is flashed like a ransom note, letter by letter.

1. Weapon of Choice

No description needed. Christopher Walken just rules. He rules so hard, even Loki agrees.
