The Fatboy Slim remix featured extensively in a Renault Megane television advertising campaign in the United Kingdom in 2003.[4] The Futureshock dance version is used as the theme for the show MTV Cribs since 2000.
Although the single only peaked at number seventeen in the UK Singles Chart upon its original release in November 1999, it became very popular due to its inclusion on its parent album Vertigo, and various dance compilations. A reissue of the song on the compilation album The Best of Groove Armada saw it reach a new peak of number eleven on the chart almost five years later on 20 September 2004.
Critical reception
David Stubbs from NME commented, "A fairly Spanish Armada this one, as, though the tide may have gone out on this year's festival of concrete and kit-off, there is a part of the English psyche that is forever Ibiza. A moderately salacious theme is set up by the worrying "I see you baby/Shaking that ass" refrain but the obligatory refusal of the tune to develop would seemingly confine the designated shaking to the gym and the stationary sweat of the travelator rather than anything more 'saucy'. Yes of course there's a Fatboy Slim remix. Are you mad?"[5]
