Fatboy Slim - Role Model (Official Video)

In the official video for "Role Model," a grizzled, burnt-out Norman Cook, aka Fatboy Slim, shuffles through a hazy, neon-lit world that feels like a faded rave from 1998. Once the king of big beat, he’s now a weary figure, his iconic Hawaiian shirt wrinkled and coffee-stained, as he stumbles through a surreal, low-budget club scene. The video cuts between Cook halfheartedly spinning at a decrepit DJ booth—fumbling with vinyl like it’s a Rubik’s Cube—and disjointed shots of dancers who look as exhausted as he does, grooving in slow motion to a track that’s more nostalgic whimper than banger. The vibe screams midlife crisis: a former party legend, now just a tired old man chasing echoes of his glory days, wondering where his spark went while the camera lingers on his bleary eyes and a flickering disco ball. It’s less "Right Here, Right Now" and more "Right, I Need a Nap."
