Fatboy Slim : Don’t Let The Man

Not quite right anymore

In which Stormin’ Norman embarks on his millionth mission to the heart of repetitive-sample darkness in pursuit of the reclusive Colonel Smiley. However, with Babyshambles set to invade Ibeefa and even dance parody flicks like It’s All Gone Pete Tong feeling about as relevant as Michael Howard, seasonal japery like ‘Don’t Let The Man’ feels – alas – about as much fun as an invite to Neverland. Isn’t it about time someone airlifted our esteemed dance commander to um, 2005? Roll on that Test-Icicles remix.
