Dancing to Your Own Beat: The Empowerment in 'Weapon Of Choice'

Fatboy Slim's 'Weapon Of Choice' is a song that resonates with the themes of individuality and the power of self-expression. The repetitive chorus, 'Don't be shocked by the tone of my voice, Check out my new weapon, weapon of choice,' suggests that the artist is introducing something personal and powerful, which in this context is his voice or his music. The 'weapon of choice' metaphorically represents the artist's unique talent or medium through which he chooses to express himself and make an impact. The song encourages listeners to embrace their own 'weapons' or talents and to be confident in their individuality.

The lyrics 'You can blow with this, or you can blow with that' imply the freedom of choice and the variety of paths one can take in life. It's a call to action to make decisions for oneself and to stand by them. The phrase 'Walk without rhythm, and it won't attract the worm' is a reference to the science fiction novel 'Dune,' where walking without rhythm is a way to avoid attracting dangerous sandworms. This line could be interpreted as an encouragement to move through life in an unconventional way to avoid attracting trouble or simply to stand out from the crowd.

The song also touches on themes of transcendence and spirituality with lines like 'Organically grown, through the hemisphere I roam, To make love to the angels of light.' These lines suggest a journey of growth and a connection to something greater than oneself. The mention of being 'Halfway between the gutter and the stars' speaks to the duality of human existence, being grounded in reality while also aspiring to lofty dreams and ideals. Overall, 'Weapon Of Choice' is a celebration of uniqueness, creativity, and the courage to be different.
