Wearing a pink salmon shirt with a palm tree pattern, Shane can be seen throughout the clip standing in front of superimposed landmarks in the UK and Australia.
These include Australia's iconic Uluru and Fatboy Slim's hometown of Brighton.
The sporting star begins by introducing himself as the DJ: "Hello, I am international DJ superstar, yes superstar Fatboy Slim, coming to you from Brighton, Great Britain.
"I'm here to tell you about my latest album Fatboy Slim Vs. Australia."

He made a number of jokes in the advert: "Australia is known for two things.
"Brilliant electronic music and brilliant leg spinners."
Next he explained that several Australian artists, such as Kite String Tangle and The Aston Shuffle, remix some of Fatboy Slim's classic tracks for the album.
Of The Aston Shuffle, he said humorously: "I haven't been to the nation's capital for a while but when I decide to run for Prime Minister, I'll pop in and see the boys."

After retiring from professional cricket in 2006, Shane now acts as a commentator for events such as the Ashes.
He has recently been romantically linked to model Emily Sears, 32, and the pair are believed to have been dating since last March.
Previously, the talented sportsman was married to Simone Callahan, with whom he had three children - Brooke, Summer and Jackson.
He has also in the past dated actress Elizabeth Hurley, moving into her Brighton mansion.
The couple were engaged by late 2011, but split just two years later.
