Annotations and Meaning:

"Weapon of Choice" by Fatboy Slim is a funky testimony, both in the use of music and rhythm completely different from what one might imagine. Employing a rather odd combination of samples, beats, and lyrics to get an all-important message across, that message was one of choice, individualism, and the fact that each person's voice—or, more figuratively speaking, 'weapon of choice'—is important.
Literal Descriptions:
The song first opens with the repetitive command "Break it down," then a warning of not to provoke confrontation, setting quite an even tone but one of juxtaposition with caution. This introduction simply sets the groundwork for the song, where it should groove just as much in grappling with the ins and outs of the interactivity and confrontationalism.

Take the chorus "Don't be shocked by the tone of my voice / Check out my new weapon, weapon of choice," for example, in which he deals deftly with this use of "voice" and its double entendre, which suggests not only his "voice" as a literal sound but also as a figurative stand-in for his power or personal expression. It almost invites the listener to "listen up and hear the distinction that makes him stand out," alluding to how important it is to fully "own" one's distinctness.

Thematic Interpretations:

Similarly, repeated lines such as "You can blow with this / You can blow with that" may serve as rhythmic refrains, underscoring the central theme of choice within the song. It reminded one in many ways of how life really was and that each person did, in fact, have free will to choose their path. The most interesting lines, probably, are "Walk without rhythm / It won't attract the worm," referenced to be taken in a double way. Literally, this may mean not attracting detection of enemies or challenge to the very mode of survival. It is, in fact, a notion; or, rather, it is literal, to say, which may express non-conformity of the way since moving in any surprising way through life may keep him from these pitfalls or from becoming an easy target for others' negativism.

This could well refer to the "walk without rhythm," when the idea was meant to avoid dangerous sandworms in Frank Herbert's novel "Dune. "Halfway between the gutter and the stars" is actually what the song is all about: the ambition and the humility. This perhaps is a perspective in life that fully recognizes the lows with equal regard to the possibility of highs, or in fact, from the reality of human existence with dreaming.
