The lyrics in the foldout of The Beastie Boys album “To The 5 Boroughs” is littered with hilarious editors notes pointing out factual errors and general commentary in the rhymes by a Ralph Spaulding better know as director Spike Jonze…
Here are a few examples….
CH-CHECK IT OUT
Mike D – “Like Mutual Of Omaha got the ill boat you’ve never seen before. Gliding in the glades and like Lorne Greene you know I get paid.”
{Editors Note: Mike, I think you are confusing your television facts. Lorne Greene was, in fact, on the show Animal Kingdom.}
CRAWL SPACE
Ad Rock – “No I’m not Herman Munster or Dr. Spock, I go by the name The King Ad Rock”
{Editors Note: But in the song, “So What’cha Want” you said you were Dr. Spock. What happened Benjamin?}
WE GOT THE
MCA – “Eyes on the prize and never wane, Take the bull by the reins”
{Editors Note: You might have well said, “Take the horse by the horns.”
And Ralph ends it with this at the end…
