"Praise You" is a song by British big beat musician Fatboy Slim.
The song features a prominent vocal sample from the opening of "Take Yo' Praise"[3] by Camille Yarbrough, as well as a prominent piano sample from the track "Balance and Rehearsal" from a test album entitled Sessions released by audio electronics company JBL in 1973.
"Praise You" also features a guitar sample from the opening of "It's a Small World" from the Disneyland Records-released album Mickey Mouse Disco, the theme from the cartoon series Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids,[4] the electric piano riff from "Lucky Man" by Steve Miller Band, a guitar swell from "You Should Be High Love" by Billy Squier, and the drum beats from "What'd I Say" by Rare Earth, "Joe Bell" by Isaac Hayes, and "Running Back To Me" by Ruby.
[7] The video was shot[8] guerrilla-style—that is, on location without obtaining permission from the owners of the property—in front of puzzled onlookers outside the Fox Bruin Theater in Westwood, Los Angeles, California.
One of the actor-dancers in the fictional dance group, Michael Gier, documented the making of the "Praise You" video on his website.
