Funky Beasties Bring the Kangaroo Rat

Posted about 3 years ago

Suited up and feeling funky enough for Friday, here's a couple clips from the Beastie Boys, a band I just remembered I love more than any other band. Why? Aside from their music and yaddi-yaddi-yadda, see Mike D's Jew-fro below. <3 Much love, Boys!

"Kangaroo Rat"

As a Beastie bonus here's "Suco de Tangerina," a video not so much in the vein of funk but I'm sharing it now because I just stumbled upon it. The suits, the hair, the martinis, to die for.

Anyone got a funky song that the Beastie's have sampled?

    You got me Brittany...never was a big Beasties fan, but some things caught my ears over the years, and when I heard the Sonic Reducer sample my ears were ringing :-)

    What is this funk you speak of? I like it. Soothing to the eye and ear.

    There's no real "video" of the tune, and the live ones that are out there are pretty poor quality, but here's the original tune :-)
