            "comment": "This song and its video are a send-up of heavy metal music, playing up the ridiculous costumes, excessive hairspray and tendency for bands to take themselves just a tad too seriously in a very Spinal Tap way. The title is a play on \"No Sleep 'til Hammersmith,\" which is the title of a 1981 Motörhead live album.\nIn order to spoof a heavy metal song, the Beasties needed a heavy guitar riff. That came courtesy of Kerry King, the guitarist for Slayer. Producer Rick Rubin was working with both Slayer and the Beastie Boys (each group was signed to Rubin's Def Jam Records), so he had King come down the hall and put down a guitar part, which he played intentionally out of tune in parts. King also appeared in the video: look for him pushing the gorilla off the stage.: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07Y0cy-nvAg",

            "comment": "This song explains the rapping isn't as easy as it sounds, and the chorus is almost a tongue twister as Run-D.M.C.'s MCs show off their vocal dexterity: \"It's tricky to rock a rhyme to rock a rhyme that's right on time.\" The song contains samples of \"My Sharona\" by The Knack, as well as the entire vocal structure from \"Mickey\" by Toni Basil. The Knack sued Run-DMC over the track in 2006, and the lawsuit was settled out of court",
