Arguably Fatboy Slim’s most famous music video of all time, Weapon Of Choice features Christopher Walken dancing around a deserted hotel lobby. The Spike Jonze-directed video won multiple awards at the 2001 MTV music video awards and won the 2002 Grammy award for best music video. The track features vocals by the legendary Bootsy Collins.

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!

Simple, genius, best comment.
Most underappreciated comment in CZcams history.
My man, made my Day :D, thanks!
Haha
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.
"Listen, Fat Man... I got a fever... And the only prescription... Is more Spice"
The Emperor's meeting with The Baron.
This song legit references Dune
I would've also accepted more cowbell.
I would... have accepted... more.. CAHWbell...
Kiss the ring

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.
‘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
😂

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.
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.

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

Bootsy Collins - Weapon Of Choice [Official 4k Video] 2313pm 5.7.23 i wouldnt know about that but i like walken... dead zone for sure... and the word on the street is he starred in the smiths first single sleeve art: hand in glove (as the naked guy stood with his back to the audience).... and, of course, 7 psychopaths...
Love me some Christopher Walkin here!!
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
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!
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
2011: Walk without rhythm, and you won't attract the worm.
2024: Attracts all the worms.
„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

Nobody does

No one can control Christopher Walken. All you can do is direct him.
Ironic, since Christopher Walken controls a Universal Remote
Dune 2 made all of us come back for this! Christopher Walken is what made the Emperor cool with its dance moves.
It’s incredible that he danced this entire routine with a watch up his ass. So talented.
Perfect timing you could say?

"Walk without Rhythm and it won’t attract the worm" --- CHRISTOPHER WALKEN, DUNE 2, March 2024
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.
That's not Christopher Walken.
That's Christopher Dancin'.
Lol
😂😂👍👍👍
Nice!! 😂👍
Good one
Aw damn! Someone already beat me to that joke! LOL Nice!
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. 😂
This aged really well after Dune Part 2
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. Via Wikipedia
For roughly 3 minutes of every day Christopher walken performs this dance to appease the elder gods and keep humanity alive and safe for another day. Thanks Christopher walken

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...

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.

100% true
Ooof you know its Sid..fact
I like that.
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
Fatboy Slim is friggin Lisan Al Gaib. As written.
He is so humble
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.
@@michelek.5233 left or added in that's the real question
And a good portion of his dance was inspired by watching raccoons dig through garbage
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.
Never caught the Dune reference… “If you walk without rhythm, then you won’t attract the worm.”
Christopher Walken is a national treasure. His roots are from Broadway musicals so his dancing comes naturally.
The wife is away on a business trip.
The teens are at Comic-con.
I'm in the living room trying to imitate these moves. 🕺
How did you do the flying part?
😂enjoy yourself sir
Good luck
Don't jump unless you really want to😂
you can do it Joe:))
Pretty sure this is the best music video ever.
What about i really like you - carly ray jepsen?
Flight facilites - i didnt believe
The Prodigy - Smack my bitch up.
all early in 00's were
It's liberating
I watched Dune ll yesterday and smiled when I saw Christopher Walken as the Emperor ... nice touch. If you know, you know 😉
Love how this music video and the lyrics are all massive Dune references, yet that slipped my brain for so long. Glad it all came full circle.
This whole thing only makes sense if it is Christopher Walken doing it
Steve Buscemi would work
@@shamusbob7969 , One of the rare scenarios where is isn’t interchangeable.
@@143__rd3 Al Pacino would have been better actually.
Yassss 😂
I think David Byrne could've pulled it off too, If you ever saw his moves in the Rockumentary
" Stop Making Sense"
How amazing is Christopher Walken?!
Is that even a question?
I never even knew he could fly
from here to the sun, walken back.
I'll show myself out.
I always like to assume they're using his Gabriel performance from the Prophecy movies for this video.
Himself and Gary Oldman are the two greatest actors. In my opinion,
One of the greatest music videos ever made.
Christopher Walken!
Christopher Sitten?
Christopher Dancen!
Christopher Flyen?!?
Hahah. How does this not have a thousand likes?
You make me lol so hard
Christopher stalken
Christopher Shakin!
Great comment. Hilarious 😂😂
very few things in this world age this well, full circle
This was already the greatest thing ever. Then he started flying.
hes a national treasure
International treasure
Christopher Walken is a work of art!
Director of this video:- "Okay Mr Walken, just dance like nobody's watching."
Christopher Walken:- "Okay."
Love the JOKER'S Dance
Spike Jonze
jajajja xD okay bro
@@shellissanctuary7522 I like his face when he losses control going down escalators.
You mean "o-KAY."
Spice is a hell of a drug
- Emperor Shaddam IV
Invincible brought me here.
Yep
The Emperor of the known universe... CAN DANCE AND FLY.
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 ( czcams.com/video/Plp3-FSu1Rw/video.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

Did Fatboy Slim predict he would be the emperor in Dune? 🤔
Yes they are psychic

This is surprisingly entertaining to a very wide age group. Everyone from 8 to 80 will stop what they're doing and smile
Yes! :)
that's the innocence of some songs

52...I smiled....first time in a long time.
Ed Jackson I didn't want to do my work...but I did smile when I see Chris started dancing xD
Hard to believe this is 20 years old. Still one of the most brilliant videos ever made.
why thank you for an other gloomy afternoon of listening to 90s music and being sad and upbeat at the same time. feeling old!
It could use more cowbell though...
Nostalgic
@@cautiouslyhopeful OF COURSE 🤣🤣🤣
