I can’t believe Ive never heard this! Holy moly.

I give you this advice: listen to their live at Central Park of 1981. then react! :D is nothing comparing to their original songs. Trust me <3

I love how 90% of your reactions are "nods head vigorously"

He always sings straight from the heart and soul! 🥹

Check out , PAUL REVERE.

Even if you weren't a big beastie boys fan, you knew who they were and heard this song and the most memorable line "beastie boys don't let the beat....DRop"🔥

WOW.....what a fantastic break down of these lyrics! They've always meant a lot to me because the meaning seemed relevant to my whole life, but then I am still here fighting the good fight. It could just be me, but I sense this song might be even more relatable nowadays than when it was first released. Just sayin. 🤔 Still I want to tell you how much I appreciate all your analysis of these songs. Extremely insightful!

Another great Scottish band you should try another one of their songs called ( Rainbow )

Please listen to this song again with the aged Dean Ford.....it takes on a special new meaning (he is the same singer/writer just older)

Flintstone Flip and The Wop are 80s dances. In a humorous way Mike D often brags in many songs about all the dances he's proficient at. He claims The Smurf, The Popeye, The Jerry Lewis, The Freak, The Jerk, The Wrench, The Tango, The Patty Duke, The Spank and the two in this song.

If you do more please don't do the same 6 or 8 songs that everybody reacts to myself and others have quit clicking those links. I mean the have 7 or 8 albums and countless EPs ranging from 1983s12 inch single of experimental hip hop, many hardcore punk released from 1982 till 2005ish, instrumental releases of 70s funk in the style of Ohio Players, jazz, bossa nova, samba, dubbed out reggaeish weird stuff. Be brave skip those dozen songs like 3MCs, No Sleep, Fight 4 your Right, Sabotage, Girls, Hey Ladies..... Be a leader of the reaction crew.

You should check out Somethings Got to Give for a totally different side of the Beastie Boys. Seriously they are very diverse and play instruments along with producing the beats for 90% of their stuff.

Your summary of this piece was the best that I've heard. Excellent, and great delivery to your viewers. Thank you. Sheffield, South Yorkshire.

AGREED. Just care.

Saw them in Shea Stadium and the opening band was Humble Pie. Talk about a kick ass concert.

Haven't heard this song in ages. It's such a great and beautiful song. They are amazing. Sad to say the lyrics is so fitting to a lot of people these days.... we're changing, changing everything... better days ahead. 💙

Very good reaction.

A inspiration was Rashad Roland Kirk chevk him out he came up with circular breathing which allowed him to hold notes forever.

It’s so wild how I hear a song like this and remember it from so long ago. But it still means so much. I still remember all the words. I remember the music. I remember the feelings. Music is everything

I have the whole Licence To Ill album still memorized and I"m 53 year old Grandma...."One lonely Beastie I be, all by myself without nobody...." hahahahahaha I know I'm not the only one.

They paved the way for Vanilla Ice, Eminem, Tom MacDonald and all the hick hop hoodbillies. They were the real first white rappers!

***YOU GOTTA FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHT TO PARTY *** that was a teen ANTHEM you cannot skip! ***SHE'S CRAFTY*** ***PAUL REVERE*** ***NO SLEEP TILL BROOKLYN***

It's simply a song about caring for one another

The Boys ain't rock. If you are a rap fan, HOW do you not know the BB's?? It's like a rock fan not knowing Elvis. It's like a Christian not knowing about Jesus. And that constant, never-ending expression with VERY LITTLE eye-blinking is very strange, to say the least.

Reminds me of the Beatles.

its funnier the more times I watch it. ha ha ha....maybe its just me.

This was a Vietnam War song. "Take me back to my own home" is a Vietnam Vet wanting to make it home alive.

You know I grew up during this time and there is a lot of amazing music out there but this song in particular is something special. It’s so beautiful.

Rod the Mod! He was the hot guy for my parents ha ha! I heard this guy all through jr high and High School years. He really does have a ton of great songs.

Two great voices singing a not so great song :(

Jm. If you get a chance, check this video out with war scenes in nam. So much more dramatic

I bought this album in late 80s. It was a cassette and on the inner sleeve there was a quote that said, it's a good thing this was released at that time because if it was released today it would be let my brother helped himself I'm too busy

love them boys, Great live show! but i do have stay...i was a head banger in the 80's. Beasty Boys first album....freakin cheesy AF. it was and is bad. I still stand by it. But they were very young, early twenties. And like myself, they evolved and stepped up their game. And boy how ever! did they! Great Great band.

You’ve got to do more Beastie Boys. A few to consider Paul Revere Shake Your Rump Sure Shot

I’m posting Again haha ! Check out beach boys “a day in the life of a tree” amazing song and its basically about Brian Wilson dying. Probably the saddest song ever written.

Sure shot is lit. Listen to that. Do more of them. They are legends and were idolized by many rappers including Eminem.

You have to listen to all them. They are some of the rap pioneers.

Classic song!!

Hip hop legends. But they also play instruments and have a funk and punk side. Huge rabbit hole.

Just let you know the produce was a meaning that this is fresh

Do Beastie Boys songs Root Down and Sabotage. You will love it

Try Tracy Chapman Fast Car

Culturally the Viet Nam was going down, a subtle protest song. Think of being 19 years old from Smallrown, USA and listen to those shattering lyrics again.

Kudos to whoever suggested this particular medley. Neil Young is a living legend. He is the biggest influence in my life as far as music goes. Saying that, I'm not that crazy about the "mashup" of these two great songs. Heart of Gold is usually sung with acoustic guitar and harmonica. A Man Needs A Maid is one of my favorites. It's quite a bit longer than this version. His vocals are the strongest they've ever been in this particular concert.

So glad you are exploring these great songs. Hope you love them like we did back in the day.

Graham Nash was a co-founder of The Hollies

Reginald Dwight later known as Elton John was paid 12 pounds to play piano on this classic

He's a soldier in Vietnam, I think this song was out in 1970
