2023 marks twenty-five years since the album's original release, which gave birth to iconic singles like "Rockafeller Skank," "Gangster Trippin," "Praise You," and "Right Here Right Now."

First released in 1998, 'You've Come a Long Way, Baby' became a defining record of the 90s, transcending genres. Fatboy Slim broke new ground by seamlessly blending hip-hop, reggae, and jangle pop into one wildly imaginative album, complete with massive hooks and infectious beats.

With this album, Fatboy Slim, also known as Norman Quentin Cook, combined the euphoric build-ups of the rave scene with the playful sampling style of 90s rap. Some samples were recognizable, such as the guitar riff from "It's a Small World" and the electric piano from Steve Miller Band's music in "Praise You." Others were more obscure, like the Lord Finesse sample from the Vinyl Dogs' only release. What tied it all together was Fatboy Slim's evident enjoyment in putting these elements together.
