I'm a 67 year old grandfather. I rocked to this song. My 6 now grown kids rocked to this song. My 9 grandchildren will rock to this song. I'll make sure of it.
Three dorky white dudes from Brooklyn became hip hop legends and some of the coolest people to have ever lived. Thats a testament to achievement. Ill be listening to the boys until the day i die.
Not every teenager :( Some parents are just too protective and don’t let their kids experience life and meet new people I’m glad I have the right mindset at least And I’m glad that my parents aren’t TOO restrictive
I'm 15 and I'm from Kentucky. Almost all parties have been in fields. They were dope, they just always ended in someone walking up with a gun and getting everyone off their property. House parties are fun, but field parties are something else man

Saw them performing in Belgium in 1987 , at the very beginning of their career. Their image was no fake. After the gig we went on the street and to our surprise we saw the three of them loading their luggage full of alcoholic beverages on the tourbus. They were clearly drunk but were very kind and signed autographs . You could just feel they were enjoying life and their beginning stardom. RIP Adam. Will love them forever.

One daughter has a three year old and the other is pregnant. They picked guys from financially secure families. Poor suckers trapped by hormones.
When this came out I was 17 years old and just graduated. Was my anthem that summer and nobody had ever heard anything like this music before. It was as ground breaking as Nirvana Smells like ten spirit. Glad I got to grow up threw the late eighties and nineties in my twenties. OMG life has been so good to me.
I was born in the wrong generation. Born in 95. Really dislike my generation and what it has become. Bring me into the 70s/80s to grow up where the music was great, everyone was always outside, people didnt easily get butthurt, and I'm not required to have a cell phone at all times just to survive or keep a job.
I was about 11 years old when my older brother saw it on MTV and bought the album license to ill. Few years later we were having big parties when our parents went away. When I was 16 I went to snowboarding camp in Canada and MCA also came for a week. We hung out a bit and even had lunch together. He was real mellow.
Right with you! At 21 I went from small town to Portland Or- you had a chance to see Nine Inch Nails under a freakin’ bridge-we were broke-working full time-most of us in college-could go anywhere from dive bars to 5 star-you had to be careful in some places-but I remember the rare sunny day walking to meet a friend downtown-Wonderful!! Now? It is all GONE-We had the last best of it there-I feel saddened for the kids now.
I still get goose bumps to this day when the beat drops to this .Ill never forget the first time I heard this back in the 80s it was the greatest thing I ever heard . RIP MCA
My Drunk Boyfriend yeah, I’ve been to a party and a good chunk of people were just sitting down on couches and chairs texting each other instead of hanging out and getting drunk or stoned. This was a college party, I can only imagine what High School parties are like now.
Why? Do you think there was something wrong with them where you are surprised that anyone would want to show up? Do you think it's because of their physical appearance?
Omg. Lol. “Physical appearance” please be joking. Every outfit the kids are wearing during the scene where they walk in? I either wore exactly that or a friend did. I graduated HS in ‘87. And we were COOL (rofl...I want my MTV!!!)
I'm gonna be honest, when I was a kid I thought the beastie boys and the beach boys were the same group. I just thought they were musically diverse lol.
Fun fact: the guy whom MCA spits beer in his face is Dan Scilken, a former member of The Young and the Useless, whom Ad Rock was once apart of prior to joining the Beastie Boys. He was also Ad Rock’s friend and they hung out even after The Young and the Useless broke up. He unfortunately died from an apparent drug overdose shortly after leaving a rehab center
I was born in 1996 and have always been told i have an old soul. My Dad listened to the Beastie Boys growing up, and i love a lot of music of his generation (70s & 80s) plus a ton of other genres. ❤😂
Samuel Mellars “Tabitha Soren, who was a reporter for MTV, appeared in the video with her hair dyed blonde. She says that the whipped cream for the pies quickly turned rancid, and the set smelled like rotten eggs.”
Except that it was an ironic satire before Smells Like Teen Spirit was ever spelled out for Gen X. There is SO MUCH subtler satire in the 80s it's embarrassing...you know the Beasties hate this song because people take it literally? They're like...smart dudes.
same here.. i actually was one of the kids where my mom would yell through the door of my bedroom "is that the beastie babes or boys or whoever"...loll... some songs i can remember exactly where i was first time i heard it!
1986. EVERYBODY loved this song and album in middle school back then. Nobody had any idea they'd become what they became though. Everybody loved this album and Run DMC's "Raising Hell" - those two albums in '86 were so influential to breaking white kids into rap/hip-hop and exploding music boundaries, you youngins have no idea. You hear this song now and it's still kinda cool, but back then it literally fucking broke down doors in people's minds yo lol. Especially when people bought License To Ill and this song was about the mildest song on the album, I'll never forget putting that cassette on for the first time expecting to hear similar punkish tunes only to be greeted by all the amazing new "rap" songs on that album. "It's the new style!"
throw in some grandmaster flash, 2live crew and Tone Loc, later Cypress Hill (black Sunday ) what an album.. was my intro into rap. Then came NWA and T with cop killer etc.
I remember when my dad showed me this video for the first time and I thought it was so weird and now it’s a great memory I have with him, I miss him everyday but this song makes me think about him 😂
Not legends. Just old memories. Yeah, I'm Black. I listened to guns n roses, white snake, hunting high and low - take on me- Phil Collins, Mick Jagger. Hell, I went back to Motown. 55 years young here😂
i recently lost my brother, and he loved this song. Hopefully he's listening to this and watching over his little brother. Edit: Thanks to all of you for caring. :)
@@Steveman27 Yes. So while working on Reign in Blood in 1986 Slayer's producer at the time was Rick Rubin, around the same time Rick was also helping Beastie Boys with their debut album, and he asked Kerry King to do the guitar solo for them. It's on "No sleep till Brooklyn" and this one. They even did the record session on the same building if i'm not mistaken.
@@itsericanicole5243 they got a warm welcome from the black community, and partly because of the label they were on, def jam had L.L Cool J. , run dmc, public enemy, and a slew of other great artists, the Beastie Boys really we’re a great group
@@dezzsmith4271 okay okay! Thank you for the reply. This is the only song I’ve ever listened to so I’m going to spend some time browsing through their music.
That's not true. Raising Hell by Run D.M.C was the first rap album to be certified Platinum. Beastie Boys had the first album to hit number 1 on the Billboard 200 Chart
Anyone listening in 2024?? If you were a rebellious boy of the 80s, this wonder was a representative anthem for all those who lived through a fun and unbeatable decade, you know it friend!
Or a girl! I remember my best friend's 18th in 1994. I asked my parents if we could have a party as her birthday was the day before mine. They said no. But my friend's parents were out of the country so we held it at her house instead. Let's just say a toilet got thrown out of the window.
we used to travel to away football matches, five of us in one car, when i played football in Culcheth, near Warrington and we used to belt this out all the way there... when we kicked off we were REALLY in the mood..!! Great days.. with Cush, Pete ryder, robbie appleton and mick bickett
I ran with brothers like this in the 80s. It was a TRUE rainbow coalition of fun,drunkenness, blunt smoking, music and friendship. Black, white, latino, it didn't matter... we were a crew and brothers 1st and foremost!!!! I miss the vibe of that time. So much hate today. PEACE.
Damn!!! It was so much fun growing up in the 80s as a rebellios out of control kid from the other side of the tracks. Be careful kids it true they say, blink your eyes and it will be gone before you know it.
@@KimberlyLetsGo This was the very PINNACLE of the rap/rock sound..I'd like to think it's at least slightly more rock than rap, though..you don't have that bad-ass as fuck guitar playing in hip-hop music lol.
@@LuigiLaker "you don't have that bad-ass as fuck guitar playing in hip-hop music" , your clearly uneducated in the matters of hip-hop so i'll school you kid. You might wanna check these out... 1.

@@KimberlyLetsGocus the rock gene is dead white citizens count for half of hip hop sales lol just look in the crowd at a rap festival.. rolling loud specifically
Funny,because back in the day 1980's as a teen, parties were sort of like this... We never trashed a house(others did rarely) but when people heard of a party somewhere a pack of us would go crash it and you had rockers,dweebs,punks,new age etc showing up... It was sort of like this and sometimes things got out of hand and house was wrecked and things stolen(not by me obviously)..Oh the good old days lol..That's why you NEVER advertise a party when your parents left for a week or weekend when in High School lol.... I mean some people screwed in the beds of the parents,kids and hallways!! One dude urinated in the closet as he had to go but the bathrooms were occupied..Some people drank too much and threw up where ever they were!! Hey,that was then.. We did get free beer in the fridge,as people put beer in the fridge and you know we drank it if we didnt like the guy or he was pissed drunk we found his stash and drank it....We found the parents hard alcohol stash,drank it clean away... So youngsters,this is what your parents did..I am in my early 50's and well,not proud of everything I did back then..Nothing too bad...My buddy ended up in some random guys 1979 Lincoln Continental (sweet car)..The keys were on the wall,car in the carport and a clear shot to get out,so...Well he borrowed it..I can say I did NOT go with him!! My girlfriend drove me and she was nearly sober! He drove it all night,sort of returned it and parked it on the grass of the High School 1 block away ,with keys in it..oh well.. A tidbit of 1983 folks...Don't be like me,be smart and stay out of trouble! But..I didn't do it :)

When I was 16 I went to snowboarding camp in Canada and MCA also came for a week. We hung out a bit and even had lunch together. He was real mellow.
Right with you! At 21 I went from small town to Portland Or- you had a chance to see Nine Inch Nails under a freakin’ bridge-we were broke-working full time-most of us in college-could go anywhere from dive bars to 5 star-you had to be careful in some places-but I remember the rare sunny day walking to meet a friend downtown-Wonderful!! Now? It is all GONE-We had the last best of it there-I feel saddened for the kids now.
One of the coolest song & video back in time . when MTV was MTV .
I still get goose bumps to this day when the beat drops to this .Ill never forget the first time I heard this back in the 80s it was the greatest thing I ever heard . RIP MCA
This my first time hearing pops is ok 🫡
Oh my god, I remember being a little kid and screaming along with this song with my Dad!
Carys Davies
this party looks more fun than 90% of the parties i’ve been too
My Drunk Boyfriend yeah, I’ve been to a party and a good chunk of people were just sitting down on couches and chairs texting each other instead of hanging out and getting drunk or stoned. This was a college party, I can only imagine what High School parties are like now.
Its because its the fucking beastie boys.
@3 Suns Moon They are now lol. (All of them grew up and bought phones wow) Get out of here boomer.
Not jus any...ohhh..NOOoo...
But the "One"!!!
Beasties Boys...totally!!
Right On...com'on u know where
I be....
REST IN PEACE, JOHN BERRY AND KEEP ON FIGHTING FOR YOUR RIGHT TO PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARTAYYYY!!!!!!!!!
Steven Wilcox Gone too soon mate
amen rest in peace.listening to those guys. and partying right now.
Dead cold
HE DIED ON MY FUCKING BIRTHDAY FML :.(
MLK was killed on my birthday
Mom, you’re just jealous it’s the BEAST! EE!! BOYS!!!
Arguably the best part of the song
You got to fight for your right to party
The 80's, the age in which musical videos started to be memorable and great
Yeah, the age of MTV!
I'm impressed that that many people showed up to the nerds' party before the Beastie Boys came.
I'm impressed the beastie boys even came. Because they can have soda and pie!
Why? Do you think there was something wrong with them where you are surprised that anyone would want to show up? Do you think it's because of their physical appearance?
@@Steveman27 yes
@@andrewlavoie6034 Hahahahah savage
Omg. Lol. “Physical appearance” please be joking.
Every outfit the kids are wearing during the scene where they walk in? I either wore exactly that or a friend did. I graduated HS in ‘87. And we were COOL (rofl...I want my MTV!!!)
WOW!!! Thirty years ago today, this album was released!!!!
OMG time DO FLY!!! I miss those days so much!! My generation ROCKED!!!
still awesome

That is most likely literally MCA's own copy of Popular Science that he sets on fire.
my dad and i used to listen to the Beastie Boys often when i was a little girl, now i'm a teenager (15) and i still love them
They were definitely underrated when this album came out. Was a great time to be part of music
It was their debut album and it was an instant hit all over the world.
The album sold 10 million copies in America alone😅
Oh gosh that ‘word’ again..😛
It wasn't underrated at all, months in even the European hit charts too.
Punks even liked them and they hated everything not punk.
@@kkeI I was in jr high. every kid had to have this album unless they wanted to be left out of everything
I'm gonna be honest, when I was a kid I thought the beastie boys and the beach boys were the same group. I just thought they were musically diverse lol.
hate when that happens
Omg me too lol 😂
This made me laugh thank you
It makes sense. 😂
lmao I used to think the backstreet boys and the beach boys were the same group
As a 17 year old listening to this album for the first time I'll be the first to say, the music back in the 80s is better than today's music.
Maybe there is hope for your generation
I’m sick of letting my 4 year old listen to Baby Shark so I got him hooked on this.
🤣🤘 Hell yeah! That's the stuff I like to hear
Y34H111111
Best parent ive ever seen!
Now he won’t have to fight for his right to party and he won’t develop the party fighting skills he’ll need to survive in the wild. Bad move.
Brilliant
This is a hell of a music video. And its crazy to think that this guys are still cool these days. They literally invented swag.
Swag stands for secretly we are gay
@@caldiggy6555 stfu
@James Cricket nah bruh that's what it stands gor
@@hihi-hh5fn nah
One of them is dead. I forget which one.
To future generations, don't let this song die out
Believe me, it won't!
Same here!
No shit bro Lmaoo
Amen
we got you dont worry
Who else is here in 2024? 👍👇

Truth
Fun fact: the guy whom MCA spits beer in his face is Dan Scilken, a former member of The Young and the Useless, whom Ad Rock was once apart of prior to joining the Beastie Boys. He was also Ad Rock’s friend and they hung out even after The Young and the Useless broke up. He unfortunately died from an apparent drug overdose shortly after leaving a rehab center
i think it's *Dave* Skilken
I was born in 1996 and have always been told i have an old soul. My Dad listened to the Beastie Boys growing up, and i love a lot of music of his generation (70s & 80s) plus a ton of other genres. ❤😂
@@sarapendergrass2406 your dad has great taste in music
@@annettegeorge209 thank you!
Filming this must've been a blast

“Tabitha Soren, who was a reporter for MTV, appeared in the video with her hair dyed blonde. She says that the whipped cream for the pies quickly turned rancid, and the set smelled like rotten eggs.”
Amateur move! They should’ve used shaving cream. Doesn’t go bad, much easier to wash off.
@@eltravo2112 I had a crush on her and Martha Quinn.
I think it's genius
This has to be the best teenage liberation song of the century.
Amanda Dixson de la merde, aucune libération la dedans.
Except that it was an ironic satire before Smells Like Teen Spirit was ever spelled out for Gen X. There is SO MUCH subtler satire in the 80s it's embarrassing...you know the Beasties hate this song because people take it literally? They're like...smart dudes.
Christi Nash i thought i was the only one to know that
yea their making fun of douch bag party boys who ironically loved this song.
hmmmm.....I'm a fan of "Do you wanna get rocked?" by Def Leopard myself. But this is up there.
Time flies, but this song still AWESOME
+Abel Signifer It truly is
Came out when i was 15, now 52, still sounds fresh, part of " the soundtrack of my life " 🍻
I am also 52. Born 1972.
@michaelblair5566 I think I was in 5th grade, so 10, 1985. I am 49, I think the math was a Lil off, but close.
Video got age restricted. We better fight for the right to listen to this banger!
hahahahah
I'm old enough to remember when this album was released, and this video to. I loved them from the get go.
same here.. i actually was one of the kids where my mom would yell through the door of my bedroom "is that the beastie babes or boys or whoever"...loll... some songs i can remember exactly where i was first time i heard it!
Yeah man. When Much Music actually played music video's, that's where I 1st heard of the Boys....
Oh, the grammar police are out and about....
U mean nazi
1 or the other.... I'm not writing a novel....
My fave line:
Your Pap's caught you smokin' and he says NO WAY
That hypocrite smokes TWO PACKS A DAY
I LEARNED IT FROM WATCHING YOU OKAY?
I always thought it was "guy in my clique smokes two packs a day"
2:58 is my fav
Used too🐰🚬
SAME.
😭😭 Showed my kids this video and they said, “Ooh mom that’s a funky oldie!” 😭😭😭 I’m 41 and feel super old now. 2/24/24
It's not old - it's timeless.
Born on 4/20/72 keep rocking
I am 51. And I grew up with this!
@@scotthanna9859 7/2/72 for me!
I miss you guys ❤
R.I.P. Adam MCA Yauch.
He looks so freakin' suave in this video
1986. EVERYBODY loved this song and album in middle school back then. Nobody had any idea they'd become what they became though. Everybody loved this album and Run DMC's "Raising Hell" - those two albums in '86 were so influential to breaking white kids into rap/hip-hop and exploding music boundaries, you youngins have no idea. You hear this song now and it's still kinda cool, but back then it literally fucking broke down doors in people's minds yo lol. Especially when people bought License To Ill and this song was about the mildest song on the album, I'll never forget putting that cassette on for the first time expecting to hear similar punkish tunes only to be greeted by all the amazing new "rap" songs on that album. "It's the new style!"
throw in some grandmaster flash, 2live crew and Tone Loc, later Cypress Hill (black Sunday ) what an album.. was my intro into rap. Then came NWA and T with cop killer etc.
I remember when my dad showed me this video for the first time and I thought it was so weird and now it’s a great memory I have with him, I miss him everyday but this song makes me think about him 😂
Sorry for ur loss brother
I miss my mom and dad. Sorry about your loss. You're not alone. Party on
That's the best kind of memory to have. 😉
fat
Who is here in 2024!!!
Legends 🎶🖤😎
Not legends.
Just old memories.
Yeah, I'm Black.
I listened to guns n roses, white snake, hunting high and low - take on me- Phil Collins, Mick Jagger.
Hell, I went back to Motown. 55 years young here😂
Siiii.....🎉
One of my favourite local bands play this and the place ROCKS. I’m 62 and I love it
Why do you give a Fuck whos here.
Me!
2022 and still rocking to this 🤘 a classic
i recently lost my brother, and he loved this song. Hopefully he's listening to this and watching over his little brother. Edit: Thanks to all of you for caring. :)
I'm sorry for your loss. Condolences to you and your family.
I hope his little brother is ok Brandon NIXON
Sorry for your loss Brandon! I'm sure he was an awesome guy who was blessed to have you in his awesome life! Amen!
Im sure he his watching over him, no doubt
Brandon NIXON sorry cuzz I lost brother to cuzz hate it....brandon
Fun fact: The original guitar solo for this song was written and played by Slayer's Kerry King
I never knew that.
Thank you kind stranger...
Dang I didnt know that.
So there's two of them? Which one is in this song?
@@Steveman27 Yes. So while working on Reign in Blood in 1986 Slayer's producer at the time was Rick Rubin, around the same time Rick was also helping Beastie Boys with their debut album, and he asked Kerry King to do the guitar solo for them. It's on "No sleep till Brooklyn" and this one. They even did the record session on the same building if i'm not mistaken.
patrianagara7 same in no sleep til Brooklyn. Also, Rick Rubin was in the music video wearing the Show No Mercy shirt
It's a shame I'll never be able to see these guys live! I've watched plenty of footage and they're awesome live! RIP Adam Yauch!
First rap album to ever go platinum ,1 million sold !!!! Def Jam records really changed the game with this group! And this song is iconic!!!
Just a millennial being curious -how were they generally perceived by the black community? Just good music or were any really opposed to the group?
@@itsericanicole5243 they got a warm welcome from the black community, and partly because of the label they were on, def jam had L.L Cool J. , run dmc, public enemy, and a slew of other great artists, the Beastie Boys really we’re a great group
@@dezzsmith4271 okay okay! Thank you for the reply. This is the only song I’ve ever listened to so I’m going to spend some time browsing through their music.
That's not true. Raising Hell by Run D.M.C was the first rap album to be certified Platinum. Beastie Boys had the first album to hit number 1 on the Billboard 200 Chart
People in the 80s: The futures going to be awesome!
People in the future: I wanna go back to the 80s.
Yep
So true
I never been in the 80s but I want to go 80s now
Definitely
I wanna grow up in the 90s
Anyone listening in 2024?? If you were a rebellious boy of the 80s, this wonder was a representative anthem for all those who lived through a fun and unbeatable decade, you know it friend!
I was born in 1999 but I still relate 😊
Or a girl! I remember my best friend's 18th in 1994. I asked my parents if we could have a party as her birthday was the day before mine. They said no. But my friend's parents were out of the country so we held it at her house instead. Let's just say a toilet got thrown out of the window.
No doubt, it's my opinion that this is the only song I liked of there's
Listened to it when it first came out ...still listening in 2024
we used to travel to away football matches, five of us in one car, when i played football in Culcheth, near Warrington and we used to belt this out all the way there... when we kicked off we were REALLY in the mood..!! Great days.. with Cush, Pete ryder, robbie appleton and mick bickett
Remember when you could turn on MTV and see videos like this?
And not laci green?
Chris Lowee isioslxlxlkxl
MTV had videos?
Anthony Thorp A long time ago they did. Not anymore though.
I was born in the wrong decade... i ended up watching Viva La Bam as a kid
I ran with brothers like this in the 80s. It was a TRUE rainbow coalition of fun,drunkenness, blunt smoking, music and friendship. Black, white, latino, it didn't matter... we were a crew and brothers 1st and foremost!!!! I miss the vibe of that time. So much hate today. PEACE.
Rt on I agree totally Peace...🖤♥️🖤😭
That's what I remember , crazy how divided we are now
Right on brother, nothing but hate & drama nowadays. Smh, take care though man
I miss it, too!! Bring back the 80’s 😭😭😭
One of the best music group ever and forever.
Taylor Swift's boyfriend brought me here! Also a great memory of my high school years!
Isso não e uma música... ISSO E UM CLÁSSICO DOS CLÁSSICOS... TEMPO BONS
É praticamente um hino!
Damn!!! It was so much fun growing up in the 80s as a rebellios out of control kid from the other side of the tracks. Be careful kids it true they say, blink your eyes and it will be gone before you know it.
Rawhead Rex good
Everyone in this generation wants to kill them selves
I miss the 80s we had better everything cartoons music tv shows and role models
fuck i wish i grew up then
One of The best Songs in The 80's!
Thirty years, still kicks ass.
ICONS forever
Thank you very much GOD bless Everyone Philadelphia USA 🇺🇸 Nostrovia ❤❤❤
Honestly one of my favorite youtube videos of all time
Beastie boys is basically a group of high school friends making music
Lmfao, well yeah, check out their punk rock stuff. They did that first then started this stuff
Your name... your pic. 🤣🤣
Was making music, but made history, lol.
Yeah. RIP Adam “Ad-Rock” Yauch
@@TechnoAdamGuy Adam Yauch wasn't Ad Rock he was MCA
Rock+rap+beastie boys=masterpiece
I wish more rap was like this.
@@KimberlyLetsGo This was the very PINNACLE of the rap/rock sound..I'd like to think it's at least slightly more rock than rap, though..you don't have that bad-ass as fuck guitar playing in hip-hop music lol.
@@LuigiLaker "you don't have that bad-ass as fuck guitar playing in hip-hop music" , your clearly uneducated in the matters of hip-hop so i'll school you kid. You might wanna check these out...
1. Run Dmc - Rock Box & King Of Rock
2. The Diplomats - Ground Zero & The Dipshitz
3.T.I. - Ready For Whatever
4. Young Black Teenagers - Time To Make The Doughnaugtz
5. Dmx - Problem
6. Ice - T - It Go's Off [Party People]
Just to name a few...hip-hop is more than capable of using guitars when it want's or need's to.
Here ends the lesson...Peace.
Lil Uzi made an album based on rock rap formula, but it's just different from the classics. Beastie Boys hits different for different generations
@@KimberlyLetsGocus the rock gene is dead white citizens count for half of hip hop sales lol just look in the crowd at a rap festival.. rolling loud specifically
Back to back Superbowl champs 🎉🎉🎉 les go chiefs
Congrats bro👏👏 I’m a niner fan but gg
And nobody outside the US gives a fuck.
Still my favorite song from them...NEVER gets old😁
Never a dull moment with the Beastie Boys 🥳🎉🤩🤟
This song is a true masterpiece
Funny,because back in the day 1980's as a teen, parties were sort of like this...
We never trashed a house(others did rarely) but when people heard of a party somewhere a pack of us would go crash it and you had rockers,dweebs,punks,new age etc showing up...
It was sort of like this and sometimes things got out of hand and house was wrecked and things stolen(not by me obviously)..Oh the good old days lol..That's why you NEVER advertise a party when your parents left for a week or weekend when in High School lol....
I mean some people screwed in the beds of the parents,kids and hallways!! One dude urinated in the closet as he had to go but the bathrooms were occupied..Some people drank too much and threw up where ever they were!! Hey,that was then..
We did get free beer in the fridge,as people put beer in the fridge and you know we drank it if we didnt like the guy or he was pissed drunk we found his stash and drank it....We found the parents hard alcohol stash,drank it clean away...
So youngsters,this is what your parents did..I am in my early 50's and well,not proud of everything I did back then..Nothing too bad...My buddy ended up in some random guys 1979 Lincoln Continental (sweet car)..The keys were on the wall,car in the carport and a clear shot to get out,so...Well he borrowed it..I can say I did NOT go with him!! My girlfriend drove me and she was nearly sober! He drove it all night,sort of returned it and parked it on the grass of the High School 1 block away ,with keys in it..oh well..
A tidbit of 1983 folks...Don't be like me,be smart and stay out of trouble! But..I didn't do it :)
Generación idiotizada por música rebelde sin valores ni principios por eso hoy LA POBLACIÓN DE EEUU Y SUS POLÍTICOS NADAN EN LA 💩💩💩
Congrats Chiefs! Patriots fan here! Travis Kelce is a gem!
I wondered how many were here cause of the Chiefs lol. Oh well now the kids are introduced to some great music! Thanks by the way! Go Chiefs
@@ed2kou1 Adam Yauch would be proud!
A stellar tight end is the cornerstone of any great offense. Bears should have drafted Brock Bowers at number 9
I've been listening to this song for 25+ years now and it's still as great as when I first heard it!! One of my 6 year old daughters favourite band's 🙌🏻🤘🏻💜😊 Raising them the right way, listening to GOOD MUSIC 👌🏻

Just realized the long haired rock guy was Rick Rubin
Toasted Joe jimmy Gestapo in the white sleeveless shirt at the end (Murphy’s law) his then girlfriend is the blonde in the white shirt. Probably more that I haven’t noticed.
