Misleading heading info about BPA?[edit]

> In 2008, Cook formed the Brighton Port Authority with David Byrne.

I think this is slightly misleading, as it implies BPA is a collaborative effort between the two of them, when Byrne only featured on one song. I think it might be more reasonable to describe it as

> In 2008, Cook formed the Brighton Port Authority, collaborative effort with a number of other famous artists including David Byrne.

Claim he holds a Guinness Record that does not exist[edit]

Under aliases this line:

"It was reported in 2008 that he held the Guinness World Record for the most Top 40 hits under different names.[5] The following is a list of lesser-known aliases used by Cook in performances."

This is a common claim in online information about Cook. However, no such record exists according to the official Guinness site. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2607:FEA8:1324:2D00:6D73:ED88:F58A:17A5 (talk) 18:42, 17 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Here Lies Love[edit]

There is no mention of Here Lies Love on the Fatboy Slim Wikipedia page? That is an oversight for sure.

Housemartins section[edit]

It describes Cook as the bassist for the Housemartins, who are then said to have had a number one hit with an a capella song. Doesn't that mean Cook was not involved with that single, assuming he was not also a vocalist in the band? It's an odd thing to mention if it was one of the only songs they recorded that he didn't play on. SlackerInc1 (talk) 03:32, 22 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Aliases[edit]

Aliases redirects to section that contains no information 31.125.72.187 (talk) 11:43, 29 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like the list was removed in January due to lack of source, however the reference in the infobox stating "Also known as: See Aliases" wasn't. I'm guessing this was probably an error. StarkRG (talk) 14:16, 24 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

BHA shareholder[edit]

The piece says he's a 12% shareholder- ref 50 link is broken but the 2009 version from wayback machine does not mention shareholding? And the last published accounts (Mar-2023) list one person (A Cook) having >90% of the shares in the club: https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/00081077/filing-history (page 34) Guess he sold his shares? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A0C:5BC0:40:142C:A28C:FDFF:FECA:87E7 (talk) 11:45, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Fatboy Slim Are We Having Fun Yet song[edit]

I'm trying to figure out which songs Slim used to layer this. This song is not on an album yet, as far as I know; it was a live performance track. I've looked around the internet and my music collection for days and can't find JACK SQUAT! I swear I heard some techno song around 2000 or before, maybe the Chemical Brothers or the like, that had that computer voice singing house, if you've heard the song. Driving me crazy.
