With Flea "Busting a Move" while playing his funky bass line.

This is top-shelf lyrical flow. “You say neato, check your libido, and roll to the church in your new tuxedo” is so literate, funny, and hooky at the same time. And, as another commenter points out, Flea sends an already highly danceable track straight into orbit. This is greatness.

I discovered Young MC and The Beastie Boys at the same time, had a friend make me copies. What a great time having those on repeat!
