“Rockafella Skank (remix)” by Fatboy Slim

The countdown lists it as a remix, but at its core this is "The Rockafeller Skank", the big beat stomper Fatboy Slim put out in 1998 as the first single from his second album, You've Come a Long Way, Baby. He produced it himself for Skint, wrote the words, and shares the music credit with John Barry and Johnny Terry.

It went off like a flare in Britain, reaching 6, spent a week at the top in Iceland, and became his second single to make the Billboard Hot 100, where it peaked at 76. The list-makers haven't forgotten it either: Rolling Stone ranked it 199th among the greatest dance songs ever made in 2022, and Billboard put it at 83 in 2025. It came after "Everybody Needs a 303", and "Gangster Tripping" followed it.
