Sci-fi obsession

[skept-a-cleptic]

For sure I think Yauch is the biggest sci fi geek. Diamond 2nd. What about Horovitz?

They've given shouts to:

Star Trek (old series)
Star Wars (old and new series)
2001
Blade Runner

Anything else y'all can think of?

[P of R]

In which song do they mention Blade Runner?

[skept-a-cleptic]

Brr Stick 'Em

[P of R]

Never heard of that song.

[skept-a-cleptic]

TT5B b-side

... and great, like all the TT5B b-sides

Crawlspace:

"You suckers try to front like you've got the force
But I'll slay like Vader sip you for a first course"

Do It:

"Like Gravy To Potatos Luke To Darth Vader
I'm A Souped Up Sucker And I'll See You All Later"

Now Get Busy:

"I'm Count Dooku to your Queen Amidala"

[skept-a-cleptic]

Also, All Lifestyles:

"Whether in a high rise where you live like Rhoda
Or in the shack and you live like Yoda"

Dont forget the song "Intergalactic" (Star Trek Mix), thats a song thats named by the movie. Just letting new comers know that this song is not a remix of Intergalactic it is an Unreleased song from around the Ill Communication era. Good track too

The spice is the worm, and the worm is the spice.

It's from the sci-fi novel Dune by Frank Herbert.

awsome, thanks Miramanee ! I know your good at doing this, I remember when ya did Brrr Stick Em, so well done

[20Questions]

Blade runner?????
lmao. that IS the worst movie of all time.

I can't figure out what his words are by asking, "What makes sense?" He often doesn't make sense at all.

I only identified one of the samples. Maybe someone can identify the others?

If you disagree with any part of my transcription, please post the correction. I have no idea what they're saying in the Shawn Kemp verse.

Intergalactic (original version)
aka All-Space Doodoo Rhymes

3: Well, I'm intergalactic planetary, planetary intergalactic

Y: Well, the spice is the worm, and the worm is the spice
I'm battling an alien when I'm on the mic
H: Like the Great Gadzook when I'm on the one [on the wand?]
D: I'll phase the motherfuckers when my mic's on stun

3: Satellite dish, spaceship communication
D: Gravity boning, space fornication

H: I'm getting stupider
Y: When I'm on Jupiter
D: On Uranus
H: And that's just heinous
D: And my name is Mike D, and I'm the first man on the moon with the three-wood teaking [?]

Y: I was suspended in animation just the other day
Well, I was in the night, dancing on the milkyway
H: Because I'm getting funky with dilithium crystals
Lieutenant Uhura
[Sample from Jerky Boys' "Uncle Freddie"] This is Kissel

Y [spoken in a robotic voice]: Warning, warning. We have intruders on sector G7, level 9. Warning.

Y: Now I'm-a break it down with the Dr. Spock shit
D: Pinch ya buck naked, leave ya in the cockpit
H: I'm like the cover of Jimmy's Mr. Loose [?]
Y: Well, I be breakin' this space in my gravity shoes
D: I got tickets to Interzone
H: So why don't you beam me up?

D: We're kings in orbit
[Sample] with the scratchin' cuts
H: I do doodle on a paper like my name was scheme
Y: Your galaxy is my bombing theme

D: Well, I'm worth your while
3: While you're while my worth
[Sample] Planet rhymin' is my place of birth

D: I'm fallin' like Shawn Kemp from the Supersonics
H: I got the corner of the king with the fat cue on Knicks [What?!]
Y: I'll be in the crater and you know I slapped it
3: Planetary intergalactic

D: Battlestar one is G-Son
We're gonna rock the universe for everyone
H: We're gonna rock the universe for everyone
Y: We're gonna rock the universe for everyone
3: We're gonna rock the universe for everyone

H: So Mario, rock the universe
D: So Hurricane, rock the universe
Y: So Money Mark, rock the universe
H: So Bobo, rock the universe
D: So Awol, rock the universe
Y: And everyone, rock the universe
3: And everyone, rock the universe
3: And everyone

Sci-fi references explained

The Star Trek references are probably recognizable to most people: phase/stun, dilithium crystals, Lieutenant Uhura, Spock, beam up.

Dune: "The spice is the worm, and the worm is the spice" is a pivotal line and moment in the novel. It's when Muad'Dib realizes that the two are connected. That knowledge gives him ultimate power.

"Interzone" refers to one of two things. It's either a reference to a bad 1980s sci-fi movie with the title of Interzone or a reference to Naked Lunch, a novel by William Burroughs. In the early 90s, David Cronenberg made a film of Naked Lunch. Interzone is a location in the story. The film Naked Lunch was big with the sci-fi ubergeeks, so it's the more likely reference.

"Battlestar" is a generic sci-fi reference, usually used to describe a spaceship of some kind (e.g., Battlestar Galactica).

Other references explained

Do doodle = graffiti
Scheme = Graffiti cleaning (i.e., removal) is referred to as "graffitti scheme"
G-Son = G-Son Studios in Los Angeles

Damn....thanks for the lyric dude!!!!!
I was looking for it and I've never found it..
Thanks!!!

[Laver1969]

I don't believe beastiemania has this info...or do they? Anyway you should submit it to them Miramanee.

I remember someone posted their version of the lyrics on here years ago...i tried doing a search but no luck. It was probably pruned.

[Laver1969]

Unfortunately no.

[enree erzweglle]

In the MTV Movie Awards from last spring when the Beasties were performing, I love the way Yauch half cracks up at Horovitz's pink champale line. I wonder how often they do that (still lose it over the lyrics or the way they're delivered).

[skept-a-cleptic]

By the way, it's all about Battlestar Galactica these days.

I mentioned Edward James Olmos to this twentysomething kid the other day and he was like, "Duh, who's that?"

For real.

Just a couple of changes as I hear it- I think they make more sense when you listen to it.

Nice one for transcribing it, I could never be bothered to do that AND explain all the references. I usually just figure if you can't tell what a band is saying then you shouldn't be listening to their music.

Peace.

Look at all the hair and teeth in that photo. Wowie!

Lorne Greene!!!

[Wolfi]

i definitly think they are scifi geeks inside, but look how far they came! most wouldnt let their star wars cravings get them anywhere...but saskwatch and "intergalactic" and the "ch-ch-check it out" video are proof they are! but its not a bad thing. adds more flavor to their style.

OK, I get it, but yo, don't front on the E.J.O.... I learned calculus from watching Stand And Deliver. And I pronounce "calculus" like Lou Diamond Phillips.

Almost forgot, the name of their punk band is Quasar. Astronomy is pretty close to sci-fi, yeah? What's more, MCA's got more rhymes than Carl Sagan's got turtlenecks!!!
