Girls Beastie Boys
"Girls" is a song by American rap rock group the Beastie Boys, released in 1987 as well as the music video as the seventh and final single from their debut album Licensed to Ill. This song was never performed live and it is one of the few songs on the album that are not in the vein of their standard rap songs.
The song is the shortest on the album, lasting just over two minutes long.
Lyrically, the song talks about the narrator (Ad-Rock)'s desire for women. He recalls an experience from two years before with a woman who had an interest in the narrator's bandmate MCA. MCA did not share her feelings and permitted the narrator to pursue her romantically. Ad-Rock takes the woman for a walk near a bay and asks her out but rejects his proposal. She moves to a far away location but in the present day the narrator sees her back in town showing interest in his other bandmate, Mike D.
The arrangement is supplied by a drum machine beat and a simple melody on an electronic keyboard. Mike D and MCA provide wordless backing vocals reminiscent of doo wop that occasionally break into giggles at the song's humorous lyrics and Ad-Rock's exaggerated delivery.
In 2013 the toy company GoldieBlox used the song with alternative lyrics in a video of a Rube Goldberg machine made primarily out of traditional girls' toys. The group accused the company of copyright infringement, and stated that Adam Yauch's last will prevented the use of their music in advertising. In November 2013, GoldieBlox countersued the Beastie Boys and producer Rick Rubin, saying the use of the song was a parody. In March 2014, the Beastie Boys settled out of court, with GoldieBlox issuing a public apology and making a donation to a charity of the band's choice.
"Girls"
Writers: Rick Rubin, Adam Horowitz
album: "Licensed To Ill" (1986)
Girls!
All I really want is (Girls!)
And in the morning it's (Girls!)
'Cause in the evening it's (Girls!)
I like the way that they walk
And it's chill to hear them talk
And I can always make 'em smile
From White Castle to the Nile
Back in the day (bom, bom, bom-bom, bom-bom, bom, bom, bom-bom)
There was this girl around the way (bom, bom, bom-bom, bom-bom, bom, bom, bom-bom)
She liked my home-piece MCA (bom, bom, bom-bom, bom-bom, bom, bom, bom-bom)
He said he would not give her play (bom, bom, bom-bom, bom-bom, bom, bom, bom-bom)
I asked him "Please?", he said "You may" (bom, bom, bom-bom, bom-bom, bom, bom, bom-bom)
Her pants were tight, and that's OK (bom, bom, bom-bom, bom-bom, bom, bom, bom-bom)
If she would dance, I would DJ (bom, bom, bom-bom, bom-bom, bom, bom, bom-bom)
We took a walk down to the bay
I hope she'll say (bom, bom, bom-bom, bom-bom, bom, bom, bom-bom)
"Hey, me and you should hit the hay!" (bom, bom, bom-bom, bom-bom, bom, bom, bom-bom)
I asked her out, she said "No way!"(bom, bom, bom-bom, bom-bom, bom, bom, bom-bom)
I should've probably guessed her gay (bom, bom, bom-bom, bom-bom, bom, bom, bom-bom)
So I broke north with no delay (bom, bom, bom-bom, bom-bom, bom, bom, bom-bom)
I heard she moved real far away (bom, bom, bom-bom, bom-bom, bom, bom, bom-bom)
That was two years ago this May (bom, bom, bom-bom, bom-bom, bom, bom, bom-bom)
I seen her just the other day
Jackin' Mike D to my dismay
(Girls!) To do the dishes
(Girls!) To clean up my room
(Girls!) To do the laundry
(Girls!) And in the bathroom
(Girls!) That's all I really want is girls (bom, bom, bom-bom, bom-bom, bom, bom, bom-bom)
Two at a time – I want girls (bom, bom, bom-bom, bom-bom, bom, bom, bom-bom)
With new-wave hairdos – I want girls (bom, bom, bom-bom, bom-bom, bom, bom, bom-bom)
I ought to whip out my – girls, girls, girls, girls, girls....! (bom, bom, bom-bom, bom-bom, bom, bom, bom-bom)
