Текст песни Weapon Of Choice (Insturmental Version)

"Star 69" / "Weapon of Choice" are songs by Fatboy Slim. Both were released as a double a-side single, peaking at #10 on the UK Singles Chart.

The music video for "Weapon of Choice", featuring Christopher Walken, won awards at the 2001 MTV Video Music Awards and earned a Grammy Award for Best Short Form Video.

"Weapon of Choice"

"Weapon of Choice" features Bootsy Collins (Parliament/Funkadelic and Bootsy's Rubber band bassist) provided the lead vocals. "Weapon of Choice" features a prominent sample of Sly & the Family Stone's 1968 recording "Into My Own Thing" as well as The Chambers Brothers song "All Strung Out Over You." It also contains background vocal samples that were also used in "Don't Forget Your Teeth," the B-side to "Right Here Right Now". The song can be heard on the album Halfway Between the Gutter and the Stars. The remix for the song on Fatboy Slim's greatest hits album The Greatest Hits - Why Try Harder peaked at #137 on the UK Singles Chart.

Frank Herbert's 1965 science fiction novel Dune and the 1984 David Lynch adaptation are the likely inspirations for the lyrics "Walk without rhythm, it won't attract the worm." In the novel, Paul Atreides notes "We must walk without rhythm" to avoid notice by a giant sandworm as he and his mother cross the desert of the planet Arrakis; Lynch's Dune features Paul's line "If we walk without rhythm, we won't attract the worm" 82 minutes into the film.

Music video

The song is perhaps best known for its accompanying music video which is noted for the appearance of Christopher Walken. It is directed by Spike Jonze. The video has been credited by the music press and mass media for bringing a whole new generation of fans to Walken's talents.

In the video, Walken dances and flies around in an empty hotel lobby to the music.

Before he was an actor, Walken was trained as a dancer in musical theatre. The "Weapon of Choice" video won six MTV awards in 2001. As one of the video's MTV "Moonmen" was for Best Choreography, Walken became a Video Music Award winner. The clip was also cited as the best video of all time in April 2002, in a list of the top 100 videos of all time that was compiled from a music industry survey by VH1.
