Fatboy Slim and The Rolling Stones Officially Release ‘Satisfaction Skank’ After 25 Years

The Stones supplied original session parts to Norman Cook, converting a once‑bootleg DJ staple into a sanctioned, jointly credited single.

Overview

  • The track debuted on Dec. 11 on streaming platforms with artist credits to both Fatboy Slim and The Rolling Stones via Southern Fried Records and ABKCO through Zebralution.
  • The band approved the project and provided ‘Satisfaction’ stems, which were delivered in an armoured van for Cook to rebuild and re‑record the mashup.
  • An accompanying video directed by Tom Furse uses AI to animate Michael Spencer Jones’s archival Rolling Stones photography.
  • The mashup dates to 1999 and gained notoriety through DJ sets, Napster sharing and bootleg vinyl after repeated clearance requests were refused for roughly two decades.
  • Cook has described the original as a longtime encore favorite and says the official version faithfully captures the club‑tested arrangement with upgraded fidelity.
