Quentin Leo Cook, better known as Norman Cook, and even better known as Fatboy Slim (born July 31, 1963) is considered one of the most familiar faces in the British electronic music scene.
He originally gained fame in the 1980s as the bass player for indie rock band The Housemartins, a band known for their Christian-Marxist beliefs and the singles "Happy Hour" and "Caravan of Love".
Despite being a DJ since the late 1970s, it took until the late '80s for Cook to finally be noticed as a DJ with his successful project Beats International, which scored the 1990 #1 single "Dub Be Good To Me", which was a cover of the SOS Band's "Just Be Good To Me" with the bass line of Music/TheClash's "Guns of Brixton", which eventually led to him being sued, and later befriending the Clash.
