[edit] Music video
The music video for "Gangster Trippin," directed by the acclaimed Roman Coppola, consists simply of scenes of furniture sets exploding, shown from multiple angles, and often in slow-motion. Fatboy Slim himself makes a cameo in the video, being shown on a photograph on the mirror where the lady stands up from. According to MTV at the time[citation needed], the script for the video contained just one line: "Blow things up".
