Strange Beastie Boys/Beatles thing from Sounds of Science
In the Beastie Boys' "Sounds of Science" off of Paul's Boutique, when the sample from The Beatles' "The End" is used, they actually use the drums from Sgt. Pepper....Reprise instead of the drums from the song The End. The drums in "Reprise" have bass drums on the "one and" and the "three and" whereas in The End the bass drum on each quarter note with a hi-hat bark on the "ands" before the two and four beat. Anyone notice this?
Check out the songs if you have them to hear for yourself. I think it's pretty nuts that they would use the guitar riff from The End and the drum track from Reprise. I'm no longer much of a fan of the Beastie Boys, but the production on Paul's Boutique was pure genius.

I have heard some Beastie Boy songs mixed in with The Beatles' Rubber Soul. It came right after the Grey Album from Danger Mouse got huge. (I'm not sure which Beastie Boys songs they were, I'm not really a fan).

Here's a great site that breaks down all of the samples and references used on Paul's Boutique: http://www.moire.com/beastieboys/samples/index.php
Regarding samples from "The Sounds of Science":
Regarding samples from "The Sounds of Science":
"I do not sniff the coke, I only smoke the sensamilla" - Pato Banton's song "Don't Sniff Coke"
"Right up in your face and dis' you" - "My Philosophy" by BDP
James Brown's, "Get Up, Get Into It, Get Involved", when MCA says "that's right my name's Yauch"
Jet flying overhead from The Beatles "Back in the U.S.S.R." off the White Album
The Beatles, "The End" is scratched trhoughout the song
The crowd noise in the break is from the beginning of SPLHCB
The drum track underneath the guitar sample is a sample of the Beatles "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise)" from SPLHCB
The guitar track at the end is a sample from the Beatles "The End" from Abbey Road.
The oboe track you hear at the beginning is a sample of the Beatles "When I'm 64" from Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
The occasional beeps and bass lines during the first half of the song is from Issac Hayes' "Walk from Regio's", on the "Shaft" soundtrack
The sounds at the beginning is from the small toy in a can that would make a "mmmoooooooooo" sound each time it was turned upside down.
The violin and other orchestral tuning you hear in the middle (I believe when AdRock says "Rope-a dope...") is a sample of the intro to the Beatles "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" from SPLHCB
"Right up in your face and dis' you" - "My Philosophy" by BDP

definately. I got this album when I was in 4th grade. Also, the "Who's That Lady" riff is pretty badass. I still listen to it occasionally for that part of the track.

Ive always liked there stuff from "Shes On It" to "Paul Revere" to 'Stabotage"

The Dust Brothers always had fantastic sampling when it came to their production. I think they did "Funky Cold Medina" for Tone Loc and "Bust a Move" for Young MC too.

Is this still on Anthology? The one listed on Amazon and Best Buy do not have this track listed on it.

I'm pretty positive if you purchased it, you'd get "She's On It." And if you don't, please let me know, because I'd love a remastered version of "Rock Hard" on CD.
EDIT: Dammit - I'm seeing this on DDCD now too. I may have to swing by Best Buy today to see if they actually replaced the track. Checking the site of all Beastie discography sites - www.beastiemania.com - I don't see any new version.
