Halfway Between the Gutter and the Stars is the third studio album by Fatboy Slim. It was released in 2000 (see 2000 in music). It features Macy Gray, Ashley Slater, Bootsy Collins, Roland Clark, Jim Morrison and Roger Sanchez. The album's title is an allusion to the Oscar Wilde quote "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars," a line spoken by Lord Darlington in Lady Windermere's Fan.
