You said you want that net worth, and OCD, yeah
If you want that Fatboy Slim, on Brighton Beach
And if you want that fly-less look and that LCD
If you want that old-school beat, you gon' get it from me, yeah
And if you want that compilation, that devil sympathy
If you want that cold-hearted killer, oh, I could be it
And if you want that conversation, pacing up and down the street
If you want that old-school beat, you come and get it from me

And if you want that compilation, that devil sympathy
If you want that cold-hearted killer, or personality
And if you want that conversation, pacing up and down the street

Fatboy Slim was written by Jack Cochrane & Callum Wilson & Jordan Mackay & Joseph McGillveray.
Fatboy Slim was produced by Tony Hoffer.
The Snuts released Fatboy Slim on Thu Jan 23 2020.
A February 2020 Vents Magazine article quotes frontman Jack Cochrane saying:
The song is a nod to the nostalgic subculture of live music across the UK in the 90s and similar decades.
No, even though there are some similarities between this song’s rhythm and structure and the ones of “Praise You,” a 1999 hit single by Fatboy Slim, the artist The Snuts are directly paying tribute to.
