Reoccurring Themes

[AceFace]

I just love how the boys have so many reoccurring themes. i thought we could list songs with the same theme, lyric, or whatever else has a similarity.

for example:

in 3 MCs and 1 DJ, MCA says:
"Cruising like a fan boat on the Glade
He'll tweak your ass across the cross fade"

and in Ch-Check It out Mike D says:
"Like Mutual of Omaha
I got the ill boat you never seen before
Glidin' in the Glades and
Like Lorne Greene you know i'm gettin' paid."

I wonder what the hell the obsession with the glades is all about? i think it's cute as hell.

I was impressed that Adrock still managed to rhyme about alcohol in Right Right Now Now.

Interesting point. While Mike says "Don't drink Bacardi, not lookin' to throw up on nobody..." in Triple Trouble.

It does appear Horovitz came out with his Corona in hand quite a lot on the TMU tour. And then of course the Champagne toasts.

[AceFace]

this is a prime example of what i'm talking about. Bacardi. how many different songs does that come up it. QUITE a few. it's neat.

[AceFace]

ok another one...

how many times do they reference star trek?

Ch-Check it out
Intergalactic

those are both MCA too.

[xtinaguad]

Also the line "serve you on a platter like..." comes up alot.
Pauls Boutique: Serve you on a platter like Thanksgiving stuffing
TT5B: Serve you on a platter like steak Um*, baked Alaskan, Gefilte Fish
Am I missing any?

just one by my count...

but many a dawns have broken on their clock...

[Waus]

I think the biggest recurring theme for The Beasties is their use of references. They always pull stuff out of nowhere, regardless of whether or not people are gonna have a clue what it's from.

3. The nice framed photo of a dog in the G-Son studio (think you can see this on the cover of Gratitude single)
4. Photo on the back cover of Science of Sound has a dog running in the background
5. Isn't there barking or a "ruff ruff" in the middle of B-Boys Makin' w/ the Freak Freak?
6. Cover of Some Old Bullshit
7. Beginning of Sure Shot
8. 5 Piece Chicken Dinner (or is it Ricky's Theme?) video

[AceFace]

[luckydan#4130]

if you look real close at PB and{ TT5B }you will see a lot of this reoccurring stuff
mike's lobster bib{baked alaskian} get into your underwear{get my bvd's } and pliers of course:)
the cover art is a dead give away also
diversity unified...the entire sky line instead of just a single building
am i the only one who sees this?

[RhythmAce]

oh and a lot of dogs...

Is the beginning of super disco breakin a dog barking or scratchin that sounds similar.

-Plus "dogs love me cause I'm CRAZY sniffable"!

-no the same use, but I'll dog everybody with an egg in my hand. ;)

[IzzyNYC]

And how about gun refs (moslty by MCA):

“pulled out the jammy he thought it was a joke” – Egg Man
“I got the jammy but I don’t got the permit”- Hello BKlyn
“Incase your unaware, I carry a gun” and
“ twenty-two automatic on my person” – NS (my fav(y))
“ I got the gun and you got the brew” PR

I feel like there's more....

[she_s_crafty]

Here's another reoccurring theme...

My name is MCA.
I'm down with Mike D.
Suckers they be sayin' they can take out Adam Horovitz.
My man MCA has got a beard like a billygoat.
I'm the King Adrock, and he's MCA.
My name is Mike D and I'm about to get money.

So on, and so on...

[she_s_crafty]

Lemon to the lime, lime to the lemon.

Cherry to the apple to the peach the plumb.

Gravy to potatas.

Cool as a cucumber in a biowl of hot sauce.
