If you know anything at all about Dune, the grand brick-sized novel by Frank Herbert, you know there are gigantic, dangerous, and strangely helpful Sandworms featured in it. It doesn’t matter if you’re a fan or hater of the Lynch movie version, Sy Fy’s mini-series, or the potential interpretation by Jodorowsky. One thing they all keep intact are the worms, and the use of the Bene Gesserit Voice.
Why Fatboy Slim made a top pop song about Dune remains a mystery (they must be fans, I guess. Like Led Zepplin and The Lord of the Rings). But the song is undeniably catchy, the lyrics are super fun…and the wacked out video with Christopher Walken FLYING around a hotel atrium is truly inspired.
If you haven’t deciphered all the lyrics of Weapon of Choice, we’ve faithfully recorded them here. And the sweet, sweet music video is on the bottom for your viewing enjoyment.

I’d always been so distracted by Christopher Walken flying around the room that i never much paid attention to the lyrics other than “walk without ryhthym, it won’t attract the worm”.
I am a huge Dune fan (or i guess i should say original dune? Not a huge reader of the prequels), so much so that when my husband and I got married I walked down the aisle to music from the Syfy miniseries.

Great choice. The OST for Children of Dune by Brian Tyler is very grand. It works perfect for a wedding march.

OK, that’s one the BEST stories ever. And I can join you – when I got married, I walked down the aisle to the Throne Room March from Star Wars. And the reception was Middle Earth-themed. We’re a couple of true geeks, huh?
Dune is one of my favorite books. If you haven’t read my previous article, let me know what you think: https://howditgo.app/can-dune-be-done-should-dune-be-done-bringing-long-books-to-the-screen-2/
