Mr. Oizo - Stunt ( MOON LOON Rework ) wrong cops

Synopsis of "Mr. Oizo - Stunt (MOON LOON Rework)" from Wrong CopsIn the surreal, off-kilter universe of Quentin Dupieux's 2013 cult comedy Wrong Cops, "Stunt (MOON LOON Rework)" pulses as a chaotic electronic rework that amplifies the film's absurd antics. Originally a gritty electro-funk banger from Mr. Oizo's 2004 Moustache (Half a Scissor) album—featuring stabbing synths, minimal beats, and a crunchy Italo-disco edge—the track gets a fresh, bass-boosted twist from producer MOON LOON. Clocking in at around 4 minutes of warped house energy, the rework layers in glitchy interludes and forceful arpeggios, mirroring the movie's plot of bumbling LAPD officers peddling marijuana from their squad cars while dodging increasingly bizarre mishaps. Featured in hallucinatory music sequences—like a deadpan "music education" lesson with Marilyn Manson—the track's quirky, forceful rhythm drives the film's satirical take on authority and creativity, turning mundane cop procedural tropes into a psychedelic fever dream of deadpan humor and electronic mayhem.Facts About Mr. Oizo (Quentin Dupieux), Flat Beat, and Eric HistoryQuentin Dupieux, born April 14, 1974, in Paris, is the multifaceted French artist behind the Mr. Oizo moniker—a playful corruption of the French word oiseau (bird). A pioneer in experimental electro and French house, Dupieux blends his music production with filmmaking, directing absurd comedies like Rubber (2010) and Wrong Cops (2013), often scoring them with his own glitchy, bass-heavy tracks. Signed to labels like F Communications and Ed Banger Records, he's collaborated with acts from SebastiAn to Skrillex, influencing the Ed Banger sound and modern EDM with his raw, anachronistic style.His breakthrough came with the 1999 single "Flat Beat," a simple instrumental loop crafted in just two hours on a Korg MS-20 synthesizer, powered by a Roland TR-606 drum machine. Intended as a "stupid loop" for a Levi's jeans ad, it exploded into a pan-European smash—topping charts in the UK, Germany, Italy, and beyond—thanks to its infectious, head-nodding groove blending Dopplereffekt futurism, Daft Punk house, and Beastie Boys hip-hop swagger. The track sold millions, earned a spot on Q Magazine's "1001 Best Songs Ever" list at #175, and remains a DJ staple, from slow-burn Despacio sets to big-room covers.Tied inseparably to the song is Flat Eric (originally "Stéphane"), the mangy yellow glove-puppet character Dupieux created from a flea-market find for his 1998 video "M Seq." Evolving into Flat Eric for Levi's Sta-Prest denim ads (built by Jim Henson's Creature Shop with tweaks like added fur and a triangular nose), the puppet rides shotgun with slacker pal Angel (Philippe Petit), evading cops in a battered Chevelle while headbanging to the beat. Dupieux directed the spots and the "Flat Beat" video, where Eric steals the show in a dingy studio. The ads' viral success spawned bootleg remixes, merchandise mania (including schoolyard plushies), and financial windfall for Dupieux, who retained character rights. Eric embodies Oizo's anarchic spirit—loveable, odd, and eternally cool—cementing a legacy where puppetry, ads, and underground electro collided into pop culture gold.
