Music Videos That Should Have Been Made

[M.C. Guevera]

Okay, so we all know that the Beastie Boys have made some of the greatest, most hilarious, most creative music videos in the history of music videos. So with that in mind, are there any songs that they have done that you would have liked to see a music video be made for? And do you have any ideas on what the concept for the music video would be?

I have quite a few songs I wish they did music videos for. Off the top of my head:

"Get It Together": This is at the top of my list. I SO wish there was a music video for this song. I would have love to see what the Beasties AND Q-Tip would come up with. With Q-Tip and all three Beastie Boys working together, I'm sure the video would have been ill.

"Flute Loop": For some reason, I would have liked to see a music video for this song. I guess it's because I saw a music video of these three guys lip synching this song on YouTube. I think it would be best if they did it like the "Sure Shot" video and just have them rap in California, but they would all be wearing the blue suits and ties from the "Root Down" album cover. Just how I always pictured it in my mind.

"Finger Lickin' Good": This I would just have as them performing, because there's never been a music video made with just Mike D and MCA rapping. And also, people could see Adrock's skills on the turntables (that is him doing the scratching on the song right?).

"Girls": Yeah, the song is sexist, but it's also really goofy. So I imagine the video would be over the top goofy. I'd have Adrock renact what he raps about in the song, with Mike D and MCA following him in the background doing the "Bum, Bum, Bum, Bum, Bum, Bum." And have someone carry around a small casio keyboard to play the beat with a really cheesy smile on his face. Maybe add in the giant inflatable penis from the Licensed To Ill tour in the video.

"Boomin' Granny": Come on! This NEEDED a video, DAMN IT! It's too funny to not have a video made for it. I don't care if they do it cheap with a video camera like in the "Hold It Now, Hit It" and "Jimmy James" videos. I imagine Mike D and Adrock doing some chereographed dancing while singing the chorus a'la The Backstreet Boys, and there would be a bunch of old ladies dancing as best as they could behind them. Mike and Adrock would serenade the old ladies and at the end, Mike D and Adrock would be mobbed by all the old ladies while having smug expressions on their faces, as if they were saying, "Yeah. These ladies love us. What do you have?"

"Skills To Pay The Bills": The cartoon intro for the Skills To Pay The Bills video is PERFECT! If only they had expanded on it, and did the whole "Skills To Pay The Bills" music video like that. Maybe add in some real life footage of the Beastie Boys rapping in Central Park. It'd be like the "Shadrach" video, but with cartoons instead of French impressionists paintings.

"Paul Revere": Oh man. How did a music video NOT get made for this song? The concept for the video is RIGHT THERE. Just have the Beasties reenact everything that happens in the song and PRESTO. You have your video. "Paul Revere" is a pretty popular Beastie Boys tune, so I'm sure the music video for it would have been pretty well received. I'm still pissed we never got a music video for this song.

All right, I'm done now. Now it's your turn!

i think there should have beena music video for the original body movin with the guys dancing or some b-boys and b-girls. :D :cool:


i was thinking about making this thread but you beat me to it.

i agree with avideo for get it together cuz that really would have been tight. anything with q-tip is tight.:cool:

and also girls should have had a music video but the video would probally have the guys acting like assholes around a lot of girls.

BRASS MONKEY! should have had a video! i can't really imagine how this video would go but it would have probally had bottles of brass monkey in it.

paul revere already has the video concept in the song.

[kleptomaniac]

there should be one for car thief-demo numero uno (y)

and how about remote control? i'm trying to imagine a video but i can just see an EXPLOSION of colors swirling around and dancing and a whole lotta static electricity (!) so maybe something with that concept? :confused:

and putting shame in your game i see the same basic thing but with darker colors? :S

somebody help! :p

ps: and UNITE! that would've been a good one :)

and uh....just a test!~~or how about just all of hello nasty then?

+ the above songs mentioned

[Chicka B]

^ Yes, Car Thief demo 1, 59 Chrystie Street, and Your Sister's Def. That would be mighty interesting. :D Here's mine:

EGG MAN, man!!! Just picture it.

For Licensed To Ill, they already have a lot of videos for that. And Paul Revere and Girls, the video is in your head anyway not that it wouldn't be cool. I think a video for The New Style would be sweet though, maybe them at a block party with a bunch of people. And their posse! Brass Monkey would be good too Denise!

And I agree with you klepto, most of Hello Nasty should be a video. When listening to that album I get so many pictures in my head it's not even funny. A video for Puttin Shame In Your Game would be so fuckin awesome I couldn't handle it, I be hearin dragons and shit in that song. :p Who knows what that would look like. They should make a whole movie with Hello Nasty playin in the back ground.

I also believe there should be videos for Crawlspace, Hey Fuck You, and the video for 3 The Hard Way should be continued like, for the whole song. And all the songs mentioned already.

Oh and I agree with you on Boomin' Granny M.C. Guevera, that would have me laughin sooo hard. I like your idea. And for get it together, they never had a video featuring another rapper. So yeah.

Fuck, there should be a video for every single song. OK I'm gettin greedy. :o

EGG MAN, man!!! Just picture it.


. :o


hhhmmm i'm picturing eggs for some weird reason:confused: :)

[jackrock]

hey! This was my thread idea?!! :mad: :eek:

[liberty_a320]

i think there should have beena music video for the original body movin with the guys dancing or some b-boys and b-girls. :D :cool:

My thoughts exactly. Ya beat me to it, ggirlballa. :D

[kate-gun]

Brass Monkey
Stand Togehter
Get It Together
Sneakin' Out The Hospital [maybe as a prelude to 'Putting Shame In Your Game'?]
This Government Needs A Tune Up [that would be a very hard video, but I can imagine it]

[pshabi]

I agree with Paul Revere, the idea was already in the song. Also She's Crafty could have been a good video. Pretty much anything from LTI, could have been a video. Maybe Cookie Puss, that has the theme in the song already too. :D
Paul's Boutique = Car Thief, High Plains Drifter, 3 Minute Rule, Stop That Train.
Check Your Head = Stand Together, The Maestro, Finger Lickin' Good, Professor Booty (I always pictured them dancing in a club to this song, I don't know why :p )
Ill Communication = Get It Together, Do It, Flute Loop and maybe Heart Attack Man (I can see some fat man dancing around in this video :rolleyes: )
I actually don't have Hello Nasty or TT5B, so I can't really say...:o
But I have all their other albums. :D
How the hell you have 1100+ posts and you don't have 2 albums?

Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[jackrock]

Hold it, now hit it, i imagine them bumping around in an old caddy, smoke traling off the back (the smoke isn't from the car ;) )

[jackrock]

Um... where?!

[Justin]

Um... Hold It Now Hit It is already a video... :rolleyes:

I like your avatar!

Now, either scrap my idea, or switch the song (likely scrap)

[Justin]
