"Phat Planet" is the second track from the 1999 album Rhythm and Stealth, the second studio album of English electronica duo Leftfield. It is built on an insistent, two-note bassline, and the heavily distorted vocal of "phat planet", spoken by Daley. Despite having never been released as a single, it is one of Leftfield's most recognisable tracks due to its use on the iconic Surfer advert for Guinness and for the animated series Beast Machines
