      Fatboy slim most famous track "the rockafeller skank" in the movie 10 things I hate about you.
      Fatboy Slim, real name Norman Cook, was a "big beat" artist in the mid-late nineties and the first part of the 00's.

    I'm a former DJ, and something I have always done is associate a song to a person that it reminds of. For example, my oldest daughter's song is Sweet Child Of Mine by Guns and Roses. Whenever I hear that song it reminds me of the person I care about deeply. There will be something about the lyrics, or maybe it was a time we shared. Whatever it is, it will be something meaningful and important, to me. When I hear this rendition of this song, it immediately put my wife's essence into my heart. This song became the song that reminds me of my wife. If you ask her, she would say it's pretty corny but this song makes my soul sing when I think of her, or hear this song. One of my favorite songs for life =)

    Another fun reaction. "Englishman in New York" is a cover of a Sting song. Not sure if you guys already reacted to their Manu Chao cover of "Bongo Bong; it's awesome. "These Boots Are Made For Walking'/Satisfaction/Everybody" mash-up and "What Kind Of Woman Is This," are also worth checking out as all three take a turn singing as well.

    Don is right about camping music. And this song would be great to add to my own mix. For some reason, I'd always listen to The Rolling Stones on my way to camp - and this version of this song reminds me of Beatle/Rolling Stones type vibes the way they did it.

    Great reaction and great song! I've heard the phrase "big push" can also refer to IV drug use. Would make sense, you inject your ears with his music and it takes you on a trip, and it always leaves you wanting your next fix. "Englishman in New York" was written and performed by Sting.

    Do go for Englishman, you can make it a double feature with Sting first, (you can put a filter over it), and then The Big Push.
    Also, the legendary mash the boys did, titled "The Big Push - These boots are made for walking’ / Satisfaction / Everybody" (not leaving the link, but it's easy to find, it's the video with the washing machines 😂 )

    If you listen closely to all his lyrics, there's hints of who/what influences him. For instance, he references Leonard Cohen in 1 song, & LC's influence is evident in "How to be Me". There's hints all over of Ren's influences, he leaves bread crumbs everywhere.

    Bluesy/bluegrassy is totally the vibe I get from this track. I love this vibe and really hope that once Ren is back home, they get back together and put together some more blues rock tracks, especially since Ren is going rock on his next album.
    Talking about the soul in the harmonica... good harmonica is filled with it.
    What I'd absolutely love to see would be a duet between Ren & Romain covering some of the more ballady stuff from older artists like Elvis, Bing, and Frankie. The two of them can both croon with the best of them.

There's also 'Right Here, Right Now' and 'The Rockafeller Skank' which are worth doing, if you're not familiar to Fatboy Slims catalogue, though the latter 2 are more club stlye tunes, so idk (fun fact : The Rockafeller skank main sample is taken from the intro of a track by rapper Lord Finesse of Vinyl Dogs).
    Great reaction as usual, Guys. I agree with Don about covers, and that The Big Push do them right by adding their own flair. 🙂
