This paragraph references so many awesome things. (via my brother)
Another member of the good-time brigade, Fatboy Slim, dragged the Big Beat style defiantly into the mainstream with 1998’s “The Rockafeller Skank,” a fizzy combination of hip-hop swagger (courtesy of the criminally slept-on Lord Finesse), surf guitar, and shifting rhythms that angrily commands listeners to dance. It’s a three-and-a-half-minute musical orgasm that inspired my favorite scene in my all-time favorite movie, She’s All That. For those of you who have not seen this masterpiece of the cinematic arts, it climaxes in a prom scene where DJ Usher commands his classmates to do an elaborately choreographed routine to “Rockafeller Skank” which he apparently taught them in one of the deleted scenes. At the risk of hyperbole, it’s the most awesome thing ever, and that includes Jesus’ resurrection and both Step Up and Step Up 2 The Streets. If pop historians of the future want to know what 1999 felt and sounded like at its most euphoric (oh, but we thought the Internet bubble would never end!) they need look no further.
