“Sunset (Bird of Prey)” by Fatboy Slim

"Sunset (Bird of Prey)" puts Jim Morrison back to work: Fatboy Slim built this cut, off Halfway Between the Gutter and the Stars, his third album, around Morrison's vocals from the Doors' "Bird of Prey", and Morrison, Ray Manzarek, Robby Krieger and John Densmore share the writing credit. Fatboy Slim produced it himself for Skint, Simon Thornton engineered and mixed, and the 2000 single reached number nine in the UK.

The video is a trip in every sense. Set in 1964, it has Robert Jezek as a United States Air Force pilot who watches the famous "Daisy" campaign ad, downs a glass of water with something fizzing in it, and hallucinates flying a Hawker Hunter called the Bird of Prey, ejecting and parachuting down before the vision fades. An identification form in the clip carries Norman Cook, his real name.
