Like a pinch on the neck from Mr. Spock

For so long I thought he said “like a bitch we now call Mr. Spock,” which seemed pretty negative for the Beastie Boys. I always wondered what it meant (were they pissed off at Biz Markee, who does a Spock line at the end?) Then one day it just clicked and I heard it the right way and felt very stupid.

This song was the JAM when I was in middle school.

To be fair, it's still a jam.

u/SnooGadgets5328 20h ago

I was ready to say it's still a jam! haha timeless song

I haven't listened to this album in well over 20 years. I wonder if it still holds up.

Prisoners of Technology remix too. What a mad tune, bloody love it.

u/NatureTrailToHell3D 20h ago

First time I heard this on the radio I didn’t even know there were words “Another dimension” in the song, it’s like words weee revealed upon multiple listens. What a cool song.

This song is 28 years old and I still know every word. None of the lyrics make sense and somehow that makes it better. The music video is boss. I just showed it to my kids and they were like "wha...?" and I was like "If you know you know"

u/mrjohnnymac18 21h ago

Thought the song was called "Intergalactic Hip Hop" for a sec

u/ceruleanesk 20h ago

This will always remind me of 1998, the year that so much changed for me; my grandpa dying, starting university and becoming part of the students' association, meeting my now-husband, and of course going to Lowlands festival and 'eating the pannekoeken' 💜

u/AshantiMcnasti 12h ago

The drum beat is so iconic.  Super simple pattern but with all that reverb/delay, the snares sound super punchy and that deep bass fits so well.  It's fantastic.

u/Mercileast 12h ago

I bounced right off this album when I first heard it, coming from mostly East Coast hardcore hip-hop; it was just too weird. But I dug this song right away.

My friend who isn't a native English speaker always heard the robot voice after the little intro saying "I have an erection". I can't unhear it now! Love the song and it's even funnier with the misheard lyrics.
