Listen: Beastie Boys Return With Organ-Driven Funk on 'Make Some Noise'
Phil Andelman

"Make Some Noise," the first single from the Beastie Boys' long-awaited new album Hot Sauce Committe, Pt. 2 leaked to the internet yesterday, which led the band to share the song on their official Tumblr. The track is anchored by a chunky, overdriven organ part, but the beat is loose and groovy like the best of the trio's Nineties material. "Make Some Noise" will hit digital stores on April 11th and will be available as a seven-inch single on Record Store Day on April 16th.

“V.T.T.L.O.T.F.D.G.F.”

Fishbone | 1985

Quite a few musicians have utilized initials for song titles -- Michael Jackson's "P.Y.T.," Abba's "S.O.S.," Donald Fagen's "I.G.Y.," etc. But the more curiously initialed tune has to be "V.T.T.L.O.T.F.D.G.F.," short for "Voyage to the Land of the Freeze-Dried Godzilla Farts." Fishbone's original guitarist, Kendall Jones, explained to Rolling Stone, "When Norwood [Fisher] wrote it, he introduced it to the band saying, 'Man, I've been hearing about all these Nazi right-wing groups on the news saying the Holocaust was staged. So what if America said it never dropped two atom bombs on Japan, that it was actually Godzilla popping a couple off?' Only Norwood would come up with something that out." The same year "V.T.T.L.O.T.F.D.G.F." was released, the film Godzilla 1985 appeared in North America.
