@@8mu- Norman saw the photo in a newspaper and bought the rights to it, but the photographer had no idea who the guy was and he's never come forward. Norman has even said that the guy is probably dead now, the photo was taken in 1985 and considering the size of the guy that's not too unlikely!

[@sock2828]

That "Right here! Right now!" is so naturally musical on its own.

[@tehbigshow]

Strange Days is one of my favorite movies and had no idea that was sampled by Fatboy Slim. Crazy!

[@OliverPyke]

Sampling is not stealing, it's showing a different audience a new perspective on a tune. It's really making new music from old music. There are only so many notes that make us chime. Fatboy Slim has opened many peoples minds, including my own to far older music, and for that I thank him.

[@danielwilder7835]

if royalties arn't paid it is. if you consider the original idea would never have come to be in the first place without the person or artists who first thought of it. as proved by cook losing a lot of his Royalties for various tunes.

[@lundsweden]

I had this argument with a muscian (well, drummer) 30 years ago. He felt sampling was stealing, showed you had no talent ect. He did'nt see the irony that he was in a cover band, playing other people's music in a note for note imitation!

[@NickyMitchell85]

I agree ☝️. It shouldn’t 🐝 classed as stealing. Why all this copyright ©?

[@Fish_Master]

So if you have to buy a sample and don’t pay for it. That is in fact stealing.

[@GoodPintOfAle]

It’s like making new sounds from different sound

[@bobbydfangus]

Late 60s into the 70s = Sample Heaven

[@arte0021]

It seems like 70% of all samples is from that era. And mostly from black artists for some reason

[@buddhafyre]

Mid eighties new wave is a still largely unexplored goldmine of great samples...

[@lorrenaelliott161]

[@imicca]

Eddie Michael it is good, but look up Eminem My Name is and Daft Punk Digital Love. Its like taking best part of original song and building new song around it

[@LAGANTMusic]

The true legend of the art of sampling. You should be very bright mind to combine first those different songs in your mind and then arrange a track.

Fatboy Slim is the true legend of the art of sampling, but Daft Punk are the true gods. 😁

[@patrickhall7884]

@@danielroman9310 Dont forget DJ Shadow or Liam Howlett

[@DecontructRecreate]

Is it an art? Are you impressed by it? Sure it looks good when you first hear them and you get a very good first impression based on the song itself having never heard the originals, but now that I see where then come from, I kind of lose interest in the artist, especially when the entirety of the song is just different samples with a generic beat behind them.

[@patrickhall7884]

@@DecontructRecreateIt looks very easy to do when you watch reverse engineering of a sample based track, but it takes a special gift to have that kind of foresight to do it, and a talent to make it all sit well together. If you haven't yet, watch the documentary on the making of DJ Shadows album Entroducing. To pull that off is faaarr more difficult than producing with standard instruments or midi. Check out the reverse engineering videos on YT of some Prodigy tracks being made. Incredible skill and talent to pull that off.

[@Pauldjreadman]

The art of sampling is not making it sounds like it's a sample.

[@MysteryMii]

There were so many samples in Rockafeller Shank that Fatboy Slim had to give up all the royalties in order to be able to release the song.

[@raze83]

Nothing new for Quentin.... Same happened to him back with Beats International when Dub Be Good to Me was a hit.

[@dellzincht]

4 main samples, each artist given 25% of the royalties. Madness when you think how often it's been used in other media and the royalties Norman has missed out on. Not that he needs them, of course.

[@chancespang4166]

Basically after royalties and taxes, that leaves just enough in the budget to cover Christopher Walkens and his music video choreography....

[@michaeljfan9720]

[@Organdonator]

Norman Cook actually went out of his way to find Camille Yarbrough and give her royalties for Praise You. He was never out there to steal others work, he was just fascinated how you could put other peoples work together to create something new. True legend

For anyone who is interested in listening to the full versions of most of the original songs sampled, you should look into seeking out a compilation called A Break From The Norm. It also includes several songs not listed here such as Higher Groud by Ellen McIllwaine, the guitar sample in Song For Lindy. I've had it since about 2006, the full versions of The Olympic's I'll Do A Little Bit More and The Just Brother's Sliced Tomatoes are great.

“Sho Nuff” also samples David Dundas “Jeans on”. The best Fatboy tune I thought, and it was a b-side!! At the time (2000) there was a brilliant Sho Nuff mashup with the Dundas original over the top. It was so good.

[@roberttruman8444]

He's the musical equivalent of a Womble, wombling free! Fatboy Slim is just a perfect example of what someone with an encyclopaedic knowledge and lifelong appreciation of music and an exceptional 'ear' can do when they enter a charity shop. It is definitely an art form because every last detail is intentional. You couldn't make such a record by accident. Norman was a pretty good bass player, but I don't know if that is a direct contributing factor or simply an inspiration. He clearly understands musical structure and arrangement and has the benefit of his practical experience of playing bass and writing with the Housemartins, which in musical terms is the equivalent of getting a scholarship to Oxford, Cambridge or Hogwarts. So he is kind of the establishment, yet he's standing on the shoulders of rebels like The KLF who didn't play by traditional rules, took the less favourable Polytechnic route, and even dropped out of that, who's approach to music was to hold two fingers up to the establishment and to openly and unapologetically steal from other artists and in doing so they created their own unique art form. Suffice to say that with or without his bass playing and Housemartins career, he could still have done what he did because I think his art was in the way he received music and curated it, rearranged it, and edited it. If you think about it, every piece of music that exists 'takes' and 'borrows' from other artists and creators, and what makes the piece of music is the artist's unique lived experience, influences and considerations at the time. DJs like Norman Cook aka Beats International, aka Freak Power, aka Fatboy Slim (and no doubt others) are no different than any other musician.
