The Beastie Boys’ lyrics are so packed with pop culture references that they need as many footnotes as a Shakespeare textbook.

As the story goes, when the Beastie Boys moved to LA to start work on Paul's Boutique, they rented a house that the Grasshoffs, which the Beasties nicknamed The G-Spot. They broke into a closet in the house that stored Madilyn Grasshoff's clothes, which included a lot of 70s styles. The Beasties would wear the furs and that hats out around town, and the 70s decor of the house inspired a lot of the 70s vibe of Paul's Boutique, and definitely this video. I see a lot of clothes in this video that were likely taken from that closet.

Wrong Tom Cushman. Tom Cushman was one of many known as the "Fourth Beastie Boy" - he has a writing credit on "Fight for Your Right to Party," and “Gratitude.” He was also in the group Brooklyn (1987 or 88) with Adam Yauch and Daryl Jeniffer. Brooklyn being the origins of both FFYR and Gratitude. He was later arrested for selling Philip Seymour Hoffman the drugs that killed him, but I think that got cleared up. Cushman passed away in 2018.

Since I'm only 5 years younger than the average Bestie Boy I'll help with a little translation on the references I know. "I date women on T.V. with the help of Chuck Woolery" Woolery was a game show host, one of which was The Love Connection from 1983-94, so during the time this song was made. "And I've got more hits than Sadaharu Oh" - a Japanese baseball player - this is similar to Rod Carew line in Sure Shot. "Well, me in the corner with a good looking daughter, I dropped my drawers, said welcome back Kotter" - Welcome Back Kotter was a TV show about a high school teacher and inner city kids (NYC ) that starred John Travolta and propelled him to stardom. This works on two levels here because the video is a parody of Saturday Night Fever (probably more of a coincidence but still..) which of course starred Travolta. "I'm not James at fifteen or Chachi in charge, I'm Adam and I'm adamant about living large." Here they're again referring to two TV shows - although James at fifteen is actually called James at sixteen (not sure why they changed it) Chachi in charge refers to two tv shows starring Scott Baio - Joanie Loves Chachi and Charles in Charge. "Woke up in the morning with a one-ton ho" - It sounds like wonton, as in soup you get from a chinese restaurant but I'm not sure that's quite it - I feel like it's another pop culture asian reference but not sure what.. Anyone who wants to chime in with that?

@@StaxReacts they also mention "Chachi in charge," which is even more layered. Scott Baio played the character Chachi on the TV show Happy Days. When that ended, he was on another show called Charles in Charge. They mixed the characters for the reference, but Scott Baio fans would get it. Scott Baio also got lots of hot ass back in his day!!

Hey Stax, I thought I'd suggest another song by BB, if interested. "Joan Jett vs. Beastie Boys - Brooklyn Rocks" (by the channel: Metal Open Mind) --These two iconic music acts did not officially collaborate on any recorded songs together; however, they did this clever mashup together that combines Joan Jett & The Heartbreakers' song "I Love Rock N Roll" with the Beastie Boys's song "No Sleep Till Brooklyn". These mashups are fun and creative but they're not "officially" collaborations between the artists. While Joan Jett and the Beastie Boys didn't join forces in the studio, their individual contributions to rock and hip hop have left a lasting impression on music history. peace out

dude i love your beastie reactions! it would be great if you saved 'fight for your right' and 'fight for your right (revisited)' the full video as your last two beastie reactions. one starts where the other ends. and revisited has a lot of throwbacks to their past videos and their history in general, even shouting out def jam records despite only making their first album there.
