Fun Lovin' Criminals built "Scooby Snacks", the song that made their 1996 debut Come Find Yourself, out of a cool, lazy groove and a head full of movies. It's stitched together with sampled dialogue from Quentin Tarantino's films, which is why Tarantino shares the credit with Huey Morgan, Brian Leiser and Stephen Borgovini, and most of it is rapped, with only the chorus sung. The title is slang for diazepam, better known as Valium.

The band produced and arranged it themselves, with Tim Latham recording and mixing. It became their biggest hit, first reaching 22 in the UK in August 1996, then climbing to 12 when it was reissued the next summer alongside their cover of 10cc's "I'm Not in Love", and Triple J listeners in Australia voted it 14th in that year's Hottest 100.
