Summary
- Fatboy Slim's remix of the Rolling Stones' hit is now official.
- The Stones' legal team initially blocked the sample for 25 years.
- An AI-generated video features Fatboy Slim and the Rolling Stones.
Fatboy Slim's "Satisfaction Skank," a remix sampling the Rolling Stones' iconic track, has finally received official clearance after a 25-year legal battle. Initially born out of a concert necessity, the unauthorized remix was a secret weapon for DJ Norman Cook. Despite Mick Jagger's personal liking for the track, his management repeatedly denied permission, leading to years of frustration.
The tables turned when the Rolling Stones themselves reached out to Cook. They provided him with the master tapes in an armored van, enabling him to create a higher quality official version of the remix. This release is accompanied by a novel music video, generated by artificial intelligence, which brings together virtual versions of Fatboy Slim and the legendary band.
While the "Satisfaction" remix is now legally sanctioned, the possibility of a live, in-person collaboration remains open. Fatboy Slim expressed optimism, stating that with all parties still active and not retired, a future real-life rendition is not out of the question.
