You’ve Come a Long Way, Baby is the second album by English big beat musician Fatboy Slim, an alias of Norman Cook, released in October 1998 on Skint Records in the UK and Astralwerks in the US.
Four singles were released from the album, “The Rockafeller Skank”, “Gangster Tripping”, “Praise You”, and “Right Here, Right Now”, all of which peaked within the top ten on the UK Singles Chart.
From Wikipedia:
The cover art, conceived by Red Design, uses a photograph of an obese young man dressed in a T-shirt bearing the words “I’m #1 so why try harder” while holding a cigarette. The photograph was taken at the 1983 Fat People’s Festival in Danville, Virginia, and provided by the Rex Features photo library. Cook spent years attempting to identify the man on the cover, hoping to pay him, but as of 2025 had not been successful.
