First time I saw the Fatboy Slim/Walken video was on an airline flight. Loved it! Thanks for a refresher… 🙂 ---

I’ve always been a fan of his. He’s Germanic, same as me. Also, he was excellent in “the deer hunter”. ---

All of Spike Jonze’s videos are excellent. Even when he had no budget ie. Beastie Boys _Sabotage_, still a classic by the way. ---

> [@](#): > > Look at the top left video: Walken shakes his tailfeather I’m not seeing it. Maybe I’m blind? (Or it could be that I don’t d/l music from the 'net, so I don’t know how to use this kind of site.) Anyway… Where it is? ---

I’m reading a book called HOLLYWOOD’S UNSOLVED MYSTERIES. The author really seems to imply that Walken was responsible for Natalie Wood’s “accidental” death. ---

My first thought on reading the OP subject was “Yes, yes he is.” He’s an old B-way song-and-dance man from way back. Just about every time I’ve seen him on SNL they’ve got him doing some kind of a soft shoe routine. Apparently, he choreographed his own moves for this entry. Interestingly enough, he got the name “Christopher” by way of an actress he was close to early in his career (can’t remember who she was). She didn’t think he was right for a “Ronald,” his real name, and suggested Chris. He was sweet on her, and eager to please, but decided on the more showy-sounding Christopher as his new _nom d’étage_. ---

Excellent music/video. Humorous because Walken seemed so out of character. 🙂 ---

If you go to the page that BillH linked, there is a link for photos underneath the video. Is it just me, or does **Fat Boy Slim** really look like **Kelsey Grammar**? ---
