i can't find any info on the song(s) that are sampled - does anyone here recognize any? it's 60s/70s stuff..
if you're interested to know other songs that the beastie boys have used, here's a huge list: http://www.the-breaks.com/search.php?term=beastie+boys&type=6

They use 'Hotel California' for the main beat, 'Cane cuts up 'Bad Medicine' for the refrain, and the fade-out beat is 'Teddy Bears Picnic'. Glad I could help.

Yes, there's a great song, an instrumental with back voices only, i guess it's from a 60/70's soundtrack, that really makes me think of it..I have that song, don't know the name right now, gotta find it.

Awsome! Any Details You Can Remember Would Be Great Even If You Can't Find The Song. Big Thanks

I don't know if it can be of any help for this very exhaustive list cause I am not talking about samples but my guess is that they could have been inspired by the soundtrack of Vampyros Lesbos- 70's psychedelic funk.(y)
That's just my interpretation by the way, I have other guesses on other soundtracks from that same era.
