Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Fatboy Slim's "The Rockafeller Skank" are simple and repetitive, with the same chorus of "Right about now, the funk soul brother, check it out now, the funk soul brother," being repeated throughout the song. The lyrics focus on the idea of having fun and enjoying the rhythm and sound of the music. The use of the terms "funk soul brother" and "check it out now" emphasize the importance of the funk genre and the power of the music to bring people together on the dance floor.

The repetition of the lyrics serves to create a hypnotic and trance-like effect that matches the hypnotic nature of the music. By repeating the same words over and over, the audience is encouraged to lose themselves in the music and let go of their inhibitions, creating a sense of unity among the dancers. The lyrics, therefore, serve to reinforce the power of the music and its ability to transcend differences and bring people together.

Overall, the lyrics to "The Rockafeller Skank" are simple but effective in conveying the message of the song, which is to let go, loosen up, and enjoy the funk music.

It's an interview ... Q & A
excerpt ... no royalties paid for it though ;)

Q : Thinking of “Bird of Prey” and other Fatboy Slim classics, you use a lot of high profile samples. Tell me about what’s involved in getting clearance.
A : Lawyers. Two lots of lawyers, our lawyers and the person’s you sampled lawyers, and nowadays there’re lawyers who simply deal with samples. So you just have to come with an arrangement with the person you’re going to sample – sometimes it’s expensive, sometimes it’s not. It’s a necessary thing for what I do. Sometimes the record company would say to me “Why don’t you just pay it yourself? It would be so much cheaper” So I would say “Yeah, but it wouldn’t be so much fun”
Q : What’s the most you’ve had to pay for a sample?
A : 100%. Royalty for the entire song. If there was more than a 100%, I probably would have paid that.
Q : Can we ask which song?
A : Well it’s normally when there’s more than one sample. When you have to split it between say ‘The Rockafeller Skank’ there was four different samples on it we had to clear, and they all wanted 40%, or 50%, and we were like “Hold On, there’s only like 100% that’s available”. So we were like, “you can all have 25%”, and there was none left for me.

I remember when I was 13, I was staying in a hotel room with my parents. It was about 2am, I was hyper, my dad was drunk and my mum was trying to get to sleep and we turned on the TV to the music channel and this started playing. I remember vividly getting to 2:50 and my mum shouting "can you turn that shit off, I'm trying to sleep". It's such a mundane memory yet it makes me laugh every time I hear this song

But strangely enough, i'm the only one who knows this song among people of my age that i know (I was born in the 90's Russia and live in France since i'm 7-8 yo).

Yea, funny but true.
Norman got clearance to use all the music he sampled, and as there were so many he ended up paying 100% of the royalties out and got nothing himself - apart from the satisfaction of making great music, and making money for other musicians that wouldn't have earned these royalties otherwise.

@assurdo8888

On a side, i'd say: "he can afford it, so these news are not astonishing at all, nor nothing to applaude to", but on the other i'd say that he probably isn't a greedy person at all, that he is probably good hearted and that the success and the gain from all the other tracks or so are a result of good karma. Notice that 1)i don't know shit about the guy's bio, even if i could quickly check Wikipedia, or order a book to a store owned by a couple of friends that can find many particuluar books, including artists'bio, but i won't, at least not in this moment, 'cos i don't particularly care about and 2)i'm not his biggest fan on earth. But i've got kinda sixth sense on folks and things that (i'm saying this without being a superb asshole) 9 times on 10 proofs itself to be right. Maybe, this is the one time on ten, when my sixth sense fails, but i ever had an impression that Fatboy Slim is a good guy. And for sure he rocks and kicks asses!
