Trivia / Fatboy Slim

• Approval of God: Camille Yarbrough, the singer of "Take Yo' Praise" that Fatboy Slim sampled for "Praise You" enjoyed Norman's usage of it, as she felt that "Praise You" gave her vocals a rhythm her original song lacked, while still keeping true to the track's theme regarding praise.
• Breakup Breakout: Although The Housemartins had a strong cult following and did have a UK #1 hit with a cover of "Caravan of Love", Fatboy Slim is still far more internationally known than his former band.
  • The Housemartins frontman Paul Heaton and drummer Dave Hemingway would go on to form The Beautiful South.
• One-Hit Wonder: Only by a technicality. In the United States, his only Top 40 entry is "Praise You". Most of his other worldwide hits managed to break the Modern Rock Tracks chart, however. Both "The Rockafeller Skank" and "Weapon of Choice" seem just as well known in the U.S.
