Arguably Fatboy Slim’s most famous music video of all time, Weapon Of Choice features Christopher Walken dancing around a deserted hotel lobby.

Still love the fact he's dancing to the line "Walk without rhythm and it won't attract the worm" and now he's playing the emperor in the dune franchise.
Life does not get any better!🤘
@@yonnawood3081 And that lyric is an explicit _Dune_ reference, too.
Omg. Thats why I came here. Im watching the old 1984 Dune film and when Paul says this it triggered the memory of this song. I never understood the lyrics as a kid.
@@Ellzyboylol just watched it in theaters and did the same thing!
I think he is borrowing the Baron Vladimir Harkonnen floating device for the last part of the video too lol

HAHAHA 😂GOOD JOKE
Nice profile picture Mr Plutonium
He is the best 👌 ❤
@@To.me.my.X-Men.97goof juice
@@derekstaroba the juice is loose
Paul was lucky that the Emperor didn't challenged him into a Dance Off.
that would've ended pretty freaking bad for quirked up white boy
I like to think that the Emperor has the right to demand round two. Imagine him pulling out a metal baseball bat before Paul even had a chance to get the knife out of him.
"Listen, Fat Man... I got a fever... And the only prescription... Is more Spice"

This song legit references Dune
I would've also accepted more cowbell.
I would... have accepted... more.. CAHWbell...

Fun fact: There was no wire work, he was supposed to just dance. He shocked everyone on set by revealing his natural ability to fly.
Usul doesn't need the weirding module.
Epic 🤣
I always suspected that
Flyyyy just bee free like bumblebee
He's Christopher Walken..... he can do absolutely anything except suck! He's freaking awesome!!

6 stages by Christopher Walken
This is the comment I've been looking for :)
I will die happy if there is behind the scenes footage from Dune: Part Two of Walken dancing to this in costume as the Emperor.
he does looks he is about too?
He usually dances in his movies, it's one of his favorite things to do. There's zero chance he wasn't at least dancing behind the scenes. But whether or not we get to see it is the question.
It would be perfect music for the blooper reel
isnt this song inspired by dune? saw a theory once where the lyrics are refering the Voice, also "walk without rhythm, it wont attract the worm", i doubt it, but its a funny theory nonetheless
Ironically, he had no clue about this song's connection to Dune until after he filmed.
“Walk without rhythm, it won’t attract the worm” This has aged perfectly
How? I don’t deal with any giant worms in my life
@@user-ug2oy6ji2i Christopher Walken was just in a movie called Dune Part 2, where there are giant sand worms that will eat you if you walk to normally in the desert
@@user-ug2oy6ji2i Dune.
@user-ug2oy6ji2i
I think they're referring to Walkens' new role in the second Dune movie - which does have giant worms in it
@@SWProductions100And you avoid being eaten by them by walking in a specific unrhythmic fashion
Best part is when Christopher Walken becomes Christopher Flyin
🤣🤣
Simple, genius, best comment.
Most underappreciated comment in TH-cam history.
My man, made my Day :D, thanks!
Haha
It has now been confirmed that Christopher Walken will play the emperor in Dune 2.
“Walk without rhythm, you won’t attract the worm”
Someone is a fucking prophet.
Looks like we beat the Bene Gesserit to the Kwiswatz Haderach eight or so thousand years in advanced!
wow
it was the missionaria protectiva
AGAIN, IT IS THE LEGEND
Or Villeneuve is meming on the whole planet.
‘Walk without Rhythm and it won’t attract the worm’….20+ year foreshadow of Walken appearing in Dune 2 😂
Or maby just a reference to a 35 year old book at the time?
Fellow mind, Exact the same thought. Just saw it yesterday.
@@siggari actually a reference to a 16 year old movie at the time. The line in the book is a bit different.
Also, obviously @danhan121 was kidding.
So uncanny so uncanny…must be why Villeneuve cast Walken as the Emperor Shaddam Corrino IV
A certain Baron only survives Dune pt1 by flying to the ceiling:
an Emperor needs be better at it to seem plausible in the role.
this video is actually a Dune prequel about Shaddam IV earlier in his life
This is actually the requirement to become the Emperor. We'll see Leto II Atreides dancing the walken dance to ascend as the emperor
😂
@@McJethroPovTee Spoilers FFS
Shaddam on his nightly Spice high.
The rise of House Corrino
In an interview about this video, Walken said he had so much fun, he almost felt guilty to be paid for it. (Yes, he did his own choreography.)
Doing what you love. We should all be entitled to this feeling.
@@allanbeltre9106 It 's so lucky if that happens. You might have to work your ass off. Christophe Walken myst do a lot to stay in shape. He is also a dancer.
Almost
kl zag
where do i find this interview
"HE, WHO CONTROLS CHRISTOPHER WALKEN, CONTROLS THE UNIVERSE..."
So Tim Cham will over throw him with the Fremen armies
Nobody does
fool, no one can control the WALKEN
No one can control Christopher Walken. All you can do is direct him.
Ironic, since Christopher Walken controls a Universal Remote
3 minutes. The exact amount of time the Emperor is on screen in Dune 2
Oh and what a glorious three minutes they are.
As it is written
@the9thplanet768 Not really. He was wasted on that role. Just a frail old man that barely mustered enough energy for one taunt. He didnt even look indimidating when he was berating the Harkonnen.
As much as i love Walken he was the wrong choice.
Would love to see him in some role that actually uses his talents well, instead of him being forced to actively not be liks himself and lean heavily into frail old man part, that does disservice to him and the character from Dune books. Its perfect storm of worst thongsnand decisions in otherwise nigh perfect movie.
@@Kacpa2 I thought it was an interesting choice to depict him as weak
@@Kacpa2the emperor is actually very weak in the novels too. His wife is a been gesserit who won’t allow him a son, his daughter is also trained in their ways, and his lineage would likely have ended with him anyways. He presents himself as big and pompous like wearing the clothing of a Sarsaukar and having grand architecture when his only true power is the ever more complacent army of Sardaukar. I admit it’s fun to watch that difference of how he presents himself vs how he actually is in the novels but the movies are already packed tight anyway and I didn’t mind them skipping straight to the point, especially since we see most of his scenes from the perspective of others anyway
2011: Walk without rhythm, and you won't attract the worm.
2024: Attracts all the worms.
This is the most normal thing Christopher Walken has ever done.
hahahaha
JESUS LOVE YOU✝️❤️🙏🏻
Actually the most normal thing he’s ever done is put his pants on one leg at a time in the morning.
Christopher Walken more like:
Christopher Dancin'..
True that my friend!
Walken was 58 years old when he danced for this video. Damn good job.
trained as a dancer :)
He was/is phenomenal!
hi might have done some of the choreography too!
:) I love him.
You should hear him sing!
Here from the future of 2024 after the realization that Christopher Walken would eventually go on to star as as the Emperor in Dune Part ii, in thus, confirming Fatboy Slim’s prophetic qualities as the true, Lisan Al Gaib.
As is written
bless the maker and his water
AS WRITTEN
this video has nothing to do with dune, wish you people would get out of here.
@@prawngravy18 half the song is a dune reference, wtf are you on about
Emperor of the galaxy Shaddam IV in his younger days utilizing an anti-grav belt.
*emperor of the known universe
he simply thrown himself onto the ground and missed
Weeeee!
Fun fact: This isn't actually a music video. It's just hidden camera footage of what Christopher Walken does when no one's around.
That's so true.
Too bad for them!
Explains the shitty aspect ratio >:(
HeartyEnglishGirl no one said that, you idiot
the aspect ratio was a condition of Mr Walken appearing; show some respect, dude
That's not Christopher Walken.
That's Christopher Dancin'.
Lol
😂😂👍👍👍
Nice!! 😂👍
Good one
Aw damn! Someone already beat me to that joke! LOL Nice!
2:53 Footage of Emperor Shadham IV having fun with Baron Harkonnen's hovering device
That's canon. I don't care what anyone says. This 100% happened.
Christopher Walken's choreography is a physical manifestation of his entire personality.
So Weapon X or Captain Canada you prefer more ?
he is awesome
Him , Dennis Hopper and Danny Devito should've been in a movie together.

So sad that we could never ask Natalie Wood for her opinion...

Christopher Walken Is Amazing Actor
Dune 2 made all of us come back for this! Christopher Walken is what made the Emperor cool with its dance moves.
My mom is a huge Walken fan and was well aware of his dancing skills, yet somehow she never saw this music video. Showed it to her and she cried tears of happiness 😭
She cried tears of happiness? Over this?
Great to show this to your mom and love your mom for that.
yea that's what he said @@Tomyum19
Did you let you're know that he needed not one but 2 different stunt doubles to do some dance for him in the making of music video. You'll notice stunt double #1 doing the no-handed cartwheel, and #2 leaping off the table
@@jofbeats11 Considering his age when this was made and how big a star he is it was probably cheaper to hire stuntmen than it would be the cost to insure and possible financial lost if he got hurt doing them. Especially if he had any movie projects coming up.
It took me decades to understand that “Walk Without Rhythm; You won’t attract the worm.” was a Dune reference.
and the weapon of choice is the weirding module
Such a fantastic novel.. too bad the Herbert family won't let us release the old Dune PC games on GoG or remaster them.. but they'll let Hollywood create new movies about Dune. Such a travesty.
I'm looking forward to dune
@@casedistorted Hey, Denis Villeneuve is a great visionary. Look what he did with Arrival and Blade Runner 2049.
I have as just watching Dune, and when Paul said the line, I screamed. 😂
Whoever pitched this to Christopher Walken is a legend. We are not worthy.
Directed by Spike Jonez
Christopher wanted his dancing to be professionally recorded, as he trained as a dancer before acting, and Spike suggested featuring in this video lmao
it was Christoper Walken who pitched it.....haha no i just made that up BUT IMAGINE IF HE HAD JUST HEARD THE SONG and emailed fatboyslim hahaha
Damn right you are. Walken rocks!
pitch hell, whoever choreographed it!
It’s incredible that he danced this entire routine with a watch up his ass. So talented.
Perfect timing you could say?
The phrase LOL is used too often but let's just say I'm glad she was awake before I read your comment this morning.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
he was trying to adjust it
He must go (even more) crazy every spring and fall time change!
„if you walk without rhythm, you won’t attract the worm“ ... crazy connection to the current imperator
Not crazy! It's a direct reference and his casting is like a d Easter egg to me
*former
@@Casimira26 finally someone who knew this song originally was a Dune reference and casting Walken is a Dune movie easter egg!
"So I have an idea for our new music video"
"Alright, lets hear it"
"So it begins in a hotel, right?"
"I'm with you so far."
"And the camera pans to Christopher Walken who--"
"Do it."
This should be a sr pitch meeting.
I heard when they asked Fatboy Slim if they he wants to do music video with Christopher Walken dancing, he responded immediately "if he is willing to do it"

@@nikolatovar9884 where you're laying and gazing up at?
Haha perfectly right.
Everyone is talking the "walk without rhythm" line being a Dune reference and failing to see the entire song is about Dune? "You can blow with this, you can blow with that"-spice is space cocain. What is the weapon of choice the title is referencing? "Don't be shocked by the tone of my voice, check out my new weapon, my weapon of choice"- Benne Jessirit using The Voice as a weapon.
Yeah, not likely
@ladnie9454 what's not likely? That the song is a reference to Dune? Lol. Okay
@@matthewschneider3391 Exactly that, yes. The “weapon of choice” is explicitly something that needs to be loaded “Can’t forget to load it” and your guess of the “you can blow with this” line is so vague that it could be referring to explosives, leaving somewhere, shooting, et cetera. Like I said, it’s not likely. Dance tracks like this use lyrics just to have something to cling to.
Matthew is ✅️ weapon of choice is THE VOICE in Dune
The chorus of the song, "You could blow with this, or you could blow with that", is a homage to the Black Sheep song "The Choice Is Yours (Revisited)", which has a similar chorus. The lines "Walk without rhythm/and it won't attract the worm" quote the science fiction novel Dune, while the line "tone of my voice" may be the titular weapon, as used by some of the book's characters.[2] The line "halfway between the gutter and the stars" refers to a line in Oscar Wilde's play Lady Windermere's Fan: "We are all of us in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars", and was also used as the album title.

Best part of ᑐᑌᑎᕮ pt 2
Ah, the good old days... When Shaddam IV and the Old Duke were the biggest buddies this side of the Imperium, and before those darned Harkonnen and fair-weather friend count Fenring "creatively misplaced" all of the padishah-emperor's much-loved records of 'Fatboy Slim', the rare antiques by the great musician of ancient Earth. Ever since then, the empra' has grown sullen... and jealous of those who are still chillin' to Fatboy Slim songs. A jealous man... That whole business with the Atreides... we could've avoided this, if only the usual suspects left the emperor's Fatboy Slim records alone. ;-)
One of the greatest music videos of all time. If not THE greatest.
It’s this and ok go then everyone else

A lovely little detail is that Walken, a trained tap-dancer, is not only doing several tap steps, but that in some shots (when he gets in the elevator), the sound of his taps are left in. Fatboy Slim, Christopher Walken, Spike Jonze - a trio of the greatest artists ever.
your grandpa has some moves dude
After reading this I listened to the whole song again and caught it a few times, thanks for the detail!
I love that they left some of the tap sounds it, it's subtle, but a cool detail.

You can tell Christopher is just having a blast making this.
🤘
I get that vibe off Christopher Walken when I watch **anything** he does.
Big-budget movie, low-budget indie film, main character, brief appearance, any genre...when I'm watching him play a role I always get the sense that on some level, in some way, somewhere back in his mind (but not, like, *really* far back) he's thinking "Holy shit...I **still** can't believe I get paid great big piles of cash to do this!! This is *AWESOME*!!!"
I think it's most definitely present in the video. I remember seeing an interview with Walken years ago in which he mentioned that he didn't get into showbiz to be a movie actor; what he *really* wanted to be was a "Song-And-Dance Man," doing stage musicals, stuff like that. He got a lot of that training well before his career started transitioning into straight character roles.
Here, he's pursuing his first love. Old as he is, he can still cut a rug.
I think that energy gets projected into his performances and informs upon them. But one reason why he's one of all-time fave actors.
@@gregrock7451 and I don't know if it's technically true, but he notoriously never turns a project down.

The joy in CW's face when he's dancing brings joy to my heart.
Trained as a dancer, he should be enjoying himself.
He looks deliberately expressionless through most of the clip. It’s part of what makes it awesome.
I know exactly the moment when I also appreciated this: when he’s dancing on top of the table.

@PronteCo why not both? And I don't care if that title is only 2 emperors later.
Fatboy Slim is friggin Lisan Al Gaib. As written.
He is so humble

It's liberating
I swear my eternal alleigance to the Padishah Emperor of the Known Universe, Shaddam IV!
Francine Maisler: Who should we cast to play the Emperor?
Denis Villeneuve, listening to "Weapon of Choice": Francine I have a great idea
I swear to god Christopher Walken could do some of the silliest stuff on earth and still have that suave American gangster poker face.
And I'd still take him seriously.
Zedi gan hes got that "resting bitch face", hes hard to read which makes it funny and hes famous for it lol
Well, he was present the night Natalie woods was murdered by her husband, and no one seemed to care enough to ask Walken what went down, so yeah, everyone takes him seriously.
Agree mate!!!👍👍
Yup!
Don't know why you say that. I see him as an odd quirky type first. Gangster second.
The bright side of self quarantine.
Made me laugh
u a legend
😂
😂😂😂
Couldn't agree more 😁
Just watched the 1984 Dune and Paul says the exact line "Walk without rhythm and it won't attract the worm." I did a literal double-take bc I remembered this lyric from the song which I hadn't heard in about 10 years! I had to chase this song down to see if I was correct. Wild. And yes, even more wild to know Christopher Walken plays the emperor in the new Dune.

Everyone is talking the "walk without rhythm" line being a Dune reference and failing to see the entire song is about Dune? "You can blow with this, you can blow with that"-spice is space cocain. What is the weapon of choice the title is referencing? "Don't be shocked by the tone of my voice, check out my new weapon, my weapon of choice"- Benne
Invincible brought me here.
Yep
Holy shit a Dune reference "walk without rhythm and you won't attract the worm"
How's it taken me this long🙄
hmm, this video was made 22 years ago tho :(
@@user-su2ou2zx6k Dune was written in 1965
@@iseward01 oh you mean, the book writter knew that christopher would play in the movie dune ? impressive
@user-su2ou2zx6k there is also a movie made in 1984
@@user-su2ou2zx6k and my comment had nothing to do with Walken, I was talking about the Dune reference in the lyrics
2:02 lmao the stunt actor.
“Walk without rhythm, and you won’t attract the worm.”
Did Fatboy Slim predict he would be the emperor in Dune? 🤔
Yes they are psychic
@@821lancevancefatboy slim is the kwisatz haderach

Walkin all over the walls :P
The party don't start till I Walken
wolfjedisamuel It's Christopher Dancen.

I see you everywhere. Literally anywhere I look, I find a comment of yours.
His face is a sculpture, his acting is architecture, his body is music!
Hey, that pretty good!
100% true
Ooof you know its Sid..fact
I like that.
when Emperror getting tired for ruling Arrakis 😂
We need Walken to reshoot this video as the Emperor now.
Just here making sure that child-me didn't imagine this.
Genuinely though, sometimes you have to check that a music video from the distant past wasn't just a fever dream you had once
Yes!
🤣🤣🤣👌🏽
Same 😂😂
Thsts actually a very sweet & inspiring thing to say...
10 years ago I was listening to this song and repeated the lyrics “Walk without rhythm, you won’t attract the worm” in a chat room. Someone asked me if I had read Dune. I had no idea what he was talking about, so I took up his recommendation to check out the book. The rest is history.
Bless the MusicMaker and his jams. The Beats must flow!
I JUST figured this out!
i also never made that connection until just now. amazing.
Came from a Dune meme ( th-cam.com/video/Plp3-FSu1Rw/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=BobDoyle ). There was a comment quoting these lyrics and had to fact check because I couldn't remember the lyrics myself... I'm going through other comments that brought this up aswell with a stupid face on my face and reading it all in disbelief lol
Nice
Jeez I'm 55
And love this song
Read all the Dune novels
And never made the connection
As a result, the meme closed in on itself. 😂

"You may be cool, but you'll never be Christopher Walken dancing alone in an empty hotel cool."
Noone is . NOONE .
It's incredible that now he's playing Shaddam in Dune. Did Fatboy Slim have prescience?
I had no idea about the Dune connection but knew of this music video. This video just got even more legendary.
I demand a high production value remake of this with him in character on set.
I love this casting choice so much.
Not only is Walken obviously an amazing actor who can absolutely slay the role and bring a presence to rival Skarsgard..... it's also meta as hell thanks to this.
AS THE PROFECY FORTOLD
Planned this way all along, of course. Patiently, for the slow blade penetrates the shield.
Jogging tune
You got this you are....

Christopher Walken is just one of those naturally awesome people.
Yes
Damn right.
yeah but he's a freakin' despicable trumpster
@@ottodidakt3069 Oh fuck off already. Is that all you care about in people?
@@ottodidakt3069 Who cares? Why are people so hung up on politics all of the time? Besides, this video has nothing to do with politics. Don't bring that shit here.
I'd like to think this is what Walken does when he's home alone
3 Shot Tim Knight well he dont play Russian roulette with charlie BANG
This is definitely what Christopher Walken does when he is home.
3 Shot Tim Knight 😂😂😂
Doesn't everyone do this at home?
Yeah buddy, anything with christopher walken is great!
