Fatboy Slim's 'Satisfaction Skank': The Rolling Stones Finally Give Their Blessing

Fatboy Slim expressed his gratitude towards The Rolling Stones for allowing him to release a mash-up of his 1998 hit Rockerfeller Skank and the Stones' classic (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction. After 25 years, Sir Mick Jagger and Keith Richards finally approved the sample, which Fatboy Slim considers the "secret weapon" of his DJ sets. Despite initial refusals, the Stones gave their blessing for the official release of the track.

Norman Cook, also known as Fatboy Slim, shared his excitement on The Chris Moyles Show, emphasizing his appreciation for The Rolling Stones' approval. He revealed that he created the mash-up shortly after the original Rockerfeller Skank's release in 1998, seeking a fresh version for his DJ sets. The reworked track, titled Satisfaction Skank, has been a staple in his performances for two decades.

Initially made for personal use, Satisfaction Skank became a crowd favorite, prompting Fatboy Slim to approach The Rolling Stones for permission to release it. Despite previous denials, the iconic band eventually agreed to let the track see the light of day. Now, after years of being a secret weapon in his sets, Fatboy Slim is thrilled to share Satisfaction Skank with the world.

Fans can now stream and download Satisfaction Skank, the long-awaited collaboration between Fatboy Slim and The Rolling Stones, marking a significant milestone in the DJ's career. The track's official release is a testament to the enduring appeal of both artists' music and their willingness to collaborate creatively.
