"'Wonderful Night'" is a song by English big beat musician Fatboy Slim, released as a single from his album 'Palookaville'. It features vocalist Lateef the Truthspeaker, credited monomously as Lateef on the single release. The song is often played at Staples Center immediately after Los Angeles Clippers home wins and at Madison Square Garden during the second half of New York Knicks games. A shortened version of the song also appears on the video game 'Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2'. The song was edited for radio due to the brief coarse language used in the middle of the song.
