About Wonderful Night

"Wonderful Night" is a song by English big beat musician Fatboy Slim, released as a single from his album Palookaville. It features vocalist Lateef the Truthspeaker, credited monomously as Lateef on the single release. The song is often played at Staples Center immediately after Los Angeles Clippers home wins and at Madison Square Garden during the second half of New York Knicks games. A shortened version of the song also appears on the video game Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2. The song was edited for radio due to the brief coarse language used in the middle of the song.

Yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah 
Uhm hmm hm hm 

It's a wonderful night 
You've gotta take it from me 
It's a wonderful night 
Come on and break it on down 

It's a wonderful night 
You've gotta shake it for me 
It's a wonderful night 
Come on and break it on down 

It's a wonderful night 
Everybody can see 
It's a wonderful night 
Come on and break it on down 

It's a wonderful night 
Go ahead and release 
It's a wonderful night 
Come on and break it on down 

You know the music search engine need a tuneup 
Soon as they out the gate they all a want to hear da corner, uh-huh 
Well that was cool but now but then I heard a rumor, uh-huh 
Your crew was ridin' for the White Cliffs of Dover, uh-huh 

Oh, let me tell ya how we do it in California 
We'll have you on the run just like a puma 
If it don't move us 
Ain't paid ya dues and it ain't gonna get our roovers 
We gonna lose ya to the consumer solution, come on

It's a wonderful night 
You've gotta take it from me 
It's a wonderful night 
Come on and break it on down 

It's a wonderful night 
You've gotta shake it for me 
It's a wonderful night 
Come on and break it on down 

Girl, I want it, you got it 
Your body's like a narcotic 
The thought is auto-erotic 
Come on and break it on down 

Can I get it on credit?
I guess your brick-house I'll bet it 
Take it as far as you'll let it 
Come on and break it on down 

That the spot will get hot 
That it's ready to pop 
Don't even look at the clock 
All of your problems forgotten 
It's time to rock 'til you drop 
Feel the force and just flock 
To the epicenter of the party's bass drummers, come on 

It's a wonderful night 
You've gotta take it from me 
It's a wonderful night 
Come on and break it on down 

It's a wonderful night 
You've gotta shake it for me 
It's a wonderful night 
Come on and break it on down 

We rock like Colorado 
You're at it throwin' bottles 
We give a f*ck about who your status 
Who you are tomorrow 
Whether you beg or borrow 
Or hit the super lotto 
Whether your girl look like a minga or a supermodel 

Feel the connectedness, energy, disprojected the weighted 
The whole collective consciousness 
Arise like helium, oh 
Groovin' out of the question 
Won't disrespect him, but 
Our styles fuckin' pouch like Dave Beckham, come on

It's a wonderful night 
You've gotta take it from me 
It's a wonderful night 
Come on and break it on down 

It's a wonderful night 
You've gotta shake it for me 
It's a wonderful night 
Come on and break it on down 

It's a wonderful night 
Everybody can see 
It's a wonderful night 
Come on and break it on down 

It's a wonderful night 
You've gotta shake it for me 
It's a wonderful night 
Come on and break it on down
