After the band split, Cook formed Beats International whose début album spawned their signature hit, "Dub Be Good to Me" which was another UK number-one as well as going on to become the seventh best-selling single of 1990 in the UK. Cook then went on to join numerous other acts including Freak Power, Pizzaman and The Mighty Dub Katz to moderate success.
Cook adopted the Fatboy Slim moniker in 1996 and released Better Living Through Chemistry to critical acclaim. Follow-ups You've Come a Long Way, Baby and Halfway Between the Gutter and the Stars, as well as their associated singles, including "The Rockafeller Skank", "Praise You", "Right Here Right Now", and "Weapon of Choice", were also met with positive reviews and commercial success.
Turn on... I'm in a ??? fast ??? baby
I ??? much, you know
??? take it ??? fast
Some people been driving to fast,
Some people still having a gas,
But if there's one thing you gotta conceed,
You gotta know who's driving you car,
You get to fifth gear with your foot on the floor,
Or else you're starring in "A Cruise Too Far".
Turn on, tune in, cop out.
Let it flow now mama,
Let it flow become a woman.
Some people been wasting their time,
Some people expanding their minds,
But if you've known love like the jokers before,
then you're likely to be home on the range.
No more the Cowboy gosta flaunt his wares,
He's been grazing on a different plain.
It's easy to see why there's a thousands of people
Are regularily turning it out,
It's easy to find when you mess with your mind
