"Sabotage" is a 1994 song by American rap rock group Beastie Boys. It appears on their album Ill Communication. The song's style is characterized as rapcore, featuring traditional rock instrumentation (Adrock on guitar, MCA on bass, and Mike D. on drums), turntable scratches and heavily distorted bass guitar riffs. During the 1994 MTV Video Music Awards, MCA bum-rushed the stage in his “Nathaniel Hornblower” disguise, interrupting Michael Stipe to protest the shutout of “Sabotage” from every category it was nominated in. Sabotage lost best video to Aerosmith's “Cryin’,” and also lost to R.E.M.'s "Everybody Hurts" video for both Best Director and Best Breakthrough video. And just cos I am in the mood now..... You got to fight for your right to party!!!! |









This weeks Friday Music clip is an old favourite, The Beastie Boys "Sabotage" - a tongue in cheek homage to 70's crime shows like Hawaii Five-0, Starsky & Hutch and the like.
