The Beastie Boys' 1994 video for "Sabotage," directed by Spike Jonze, appears on plenty of lists of best videos of all time. In it, the band dresses up like characters in a 1970s cop show, complete with caterpillar-like mustaches, obvious wigs and some seriously awesome parody jabs at that goofy television genre.
Fans loved it, but it was beaten out?at the 1994 MTV Video Music Awards?by Aerosmith's "Cryin'" and R.E.M.'s "Everybody Hurts," leading to a great moment where late Beastie MCA (Adam Yauch as his alter ego Nathaniel Hornblower) jokingly rushed the stage to pull a Kanye years before Kanye did it to Taylor Swift.
But the video?has staked out its?own spot in pop culture, and now, with fans and bandmates still mourning Yauch, it's getting renewed attention with a junior edition dedicated to the late musician.
A version of the video has been made featuring kids in the starring roles, complete with paper-and-Magic-Marker megaphones, fake guns they can barely lift, a briefcase?holding Pop Rocks, a splashdown in a kiddie swimming pool,?a clash?involving the game Connect 4,?and even mock cop show credits a la the Beasties' original version. Have a look. You know you planned it.
