I think it helps all those puzzled face Bs & Karen's "" Why How I find this man so hot. He's to be feared and then chill w swagger = Respect in my book.

Ok, to be completely honest, I liked this, I understand it is iconic, but at the same time I feel like it isn't as great as people say it is.
The fun in the bit of seeing Christopher Walken dance effusively with a straight face gets old really quickly. At least, I expected something else after the 2 minute mark, and yeah, Jonze gave us a whole scene of Walken flying in the middle of a lobby, and it is fun, but it's also meh at the same time.
People will hate me but I think it is overrated because of the weirdness of the situation that Walken is involved in, taking into account who he is as an actor.
Also, I think that the fact that my father hated Fatboy Slim doesn't help me to correctly value this video. My father passed down that hate for the artist to me, and I've always seen Fatboy Slim as a bootleg version of better electronic/dance artists like Daft Punk.

I don't even care if some of those shots were a stunt double. I would sit and watch this whole thing anywhere anytime. Seriously. Only thing though... it really needs... more cowbell.
