You've Come a Long Way, Baby is the second studio album by Fatboy Slim and was released in 1998.

The album has a Parental Advisory because of the third track "Fucking In Heaven" which has DJ Freddy Fresh repeating the words "Fatboy Slim Is Fucking In Heaven" 108 times. The track was re-named to simply "In Heaven" for the American release and re-edited to "'Illin in Heaven" for the clean version of the record.

The title of the album is a marketing slogan for Virginia Slims cigarettes, similar to Fatboy Slim's first album which borrowed DuPont's Better Living Through Chemistry tagline for its title.

In 2000 Q magazine placed You've Come a Long Way, Baby at number 81 in its list of the 100 Greatest British Albums Ever.
