Beastie Boys Make Love American Style

In 1989 the Beastie Boys with the Dust Brothers created the legendary album Paul's Boutique. It's a drug-influenced nod to funk, soul and classic rock that samples everything from Johnny Cash to the Beatles. Despite the lack of commercial success, Paul’s Boutique is a musical breakthrough that completely sheds the Beastie Boys’ macho image and paints them as gifted songwriters with far smarter lyrics than anyone could expect. The band rented a house in Los Angeles that they dub the G Spot, after the couple who owns it, the Grasshoffs. The Boys raid the couple’s closet and find numerous funk outfits, which they often wear in public, giving inspiration to their disco-themed "Hey Ladies" video. The band releases a rare EP entitled Love American Style, which contains the singles "Shadrach" and "Hey Ladies," but it’s the flip side of instrumental remixes by the Dust Brothers that are the most jaw-dropping.
