If you what you wear makes you a man,
and what you eat says who you are,
and what you see is all you gonna get,
tell me what is what you is?
If what it is, is what it was,
and where it's at, is where it should have been,
and where I am, is where am I?
please tell me What you is?
You got to stand back, and take a look,
You don't have to live your life by the book,
Look underneath the skin, see what is in,
Look out for the man.
If where you're coming from, is where you've already been,
and What's happening brother has happened,
and why am I is the reason why I am, please tell me,
What it what you is?

Fatboy Slim, pseudonimo di Quentin Leo Cook, è un disc jockey, produttore discografico e beatmaker britannico nato a Bromley il 31 luglio 1963. Noto anche come Norman Cook e The BPA (acronimo di The Brighton Port Authority), ha raggiunto fama internazionale con il suo stile big beat, una fusione innovativa di hip hop, breakbeat, rock e R and B. Cook iniziò la sua carriera negli anni '80 come membro del gruppo The Housemartins, ottenendo successo con brani come "Car Boot of Love". Dopo lo scioglimento del gruppo, si dedicò alla produzione musicale e al DJing, adottando il nome Fatboy Slim nel 1996. Il suo album di debutto, "Better Living Through Chemistry", pubblicato nel 1998, divenne un successo mondiale grazie a brani come "The Rockafeller Skank" e "Praise You". Fatboy Slim è considerato uno dei pionieri del big beat e ha influenzato generazioni di artisti elettronici. Tra i suoi album più importanti ricordiamo "You've Come a Long Way, Baby" (2000) e "Palookaville" (2004).
