Hey Ladies

We haven't done a Music Video Of The Day in about a week and a half (which I know goes against the name of the bit, but as mentioned in the original post, it might be every other day, it might be monthly--when we get to it...we get to it).
So maybe it's because I feel bad for not giving you a music video recently. Maybe it's because we haven't featured a hip hop video in quite some time. It also might be because I have a soft spot in my heart for innovative, acid inspired, disco fever, video clips featuring three Jewish rappers. Whatever the reason might be, I give you The Beastie Boys' "Hey Ladies".
One more thing, I mentioned this song was innovative (as was the entire 1989 album "Paul's Botique". Well, the reason was sampling. Until this time artists rarely sampled other people's music. For example, on this song alone you will find samples from the following:
"Ballroom Blitz" by Sweet
"Party Time" by Kurtis Blow
"Holy Ghost" by the Bar-Kays
"Shake Your Pants" by Cameo
"Pumpin' it Up" by P-Funk All Stars
"Jungle Boogie" by Kool & the Gang
"Machine Gun" by The Commodores
"Jazzy Sensation" by Afrika Bambaataa
"Change Le Beat/B-Side" by Fab 5 Freddy
"Come Let Me Love You" by Jeanette "Lady" Day
"Dance Floor", & "So Ruff, So Tuff" by Zapp & Roger
"Ain't It Funky Now" & "Funky President" by James Brown
"Hey DJ" by Malcolm McLaren & the World Famous Supreme Team
"High Powered Rap" by Disco Dave & the Force of the Five MC's (Crash
Enjoy...
