Correct resinchaser!
Fatboy Slim was known as Norman Cook while a member of the Housemartins.
Paul Heaton was also a member of the Housemartins before going on to form The Beautiful South.
His most recent project as Biscuit Boy doesn't appear to have quite had the same level of success though.

Thanks Bobo, I'd read (on the album credits) that it was written by Brian Wilson but I've never heard the Beach Boys' original version.

Certainly correct on the Isley Brothers Indy. I've never heard the version by the Power Station.
The cover version I had in mind was by the UK group The Christians, featuring the three brothers
Christian from Liverpool (Gary, Russell & Roger) plus keyboard player Henry Priestman.
I once met Gary Christian in a pub in Liverpool and he's about 6' 8"!.
