63. Beastie Boys - The Sounds Of Science

Found On: Paul's Boutique (1989)

Opening with the repeated sound of one of those mooing cans and the Boys spouting slow-motion nonsense, the song changes radically after about a minute, with Ad-Rock yelling “rope-a-dope”, the guitar lick from The Beatles’ The End kicking in and the boys stepping up the rhyme tempo. An artistic leap you can shake your ass to.
