After I saw that Bored to Death trailer that featured the boys going crazy on Coney Island to the Beastie Boys song Triple Trouble, I myself, have gone crazy, seeking this song out in all its forms. So, that’s what I’ve done, finding three killer performances of the song on youtube. The song, which samples heavily from rap’s first song, “Rapper’s Delight” by the Sugarhill Gang, is just one of the catchiest things I’ve ever heard. I love the sped up version the best, performed on MTV in 2004. They absolutely kill it. The second performance is from AOL’s live sessions, and is just a perfect display of their rap mastery. The third performance is the music video itself. I really like it, but the song doesn’t start until about a minute and a half into it. It features some bizarre story about the Beasties making a fashion statement at an awards show, before Big Foot comes to fight and dance with them. I hope you enjoy this incredibly funky and fresh cut. And just in case you like it as much as I do, don’t forget to vote for me in the CBS’s Best NYC Blogger Contest, in which I am a finalist. Just click these words! Thanks!
