Beastie Boys - Song of the Week - Mullet Head

In anticipation of the upcoming Beastie Boys new album, The Hot Sauce Committee - Part 2 , I thought I would select a song that is not new, nor from any of their albums. 'Mullet Head' is a B side that was born in the Ill Communication era. Why it didn't make it to the album after Sabotage is beyond me? The closest it came was as a Bonus track on the Japanese Ill Communication. 'Mullet Head' made its domestic debut about a week after the album came out, as a B Side to the second album single 'Sure Shot'. It was also featured on the Clueless Soundtrack.
  
The punk ode to the Mullet and the tough guys that wear it is one of their best punk songs by the Beastie Boys.  It is certainly an improvement over very early Beastie Boys featured on Some Old Bullshit and better than anything put out on '95's Aglio e Olio EP. 

Here's an instrumental version of 'Mullet Head' - Beastie Boys - Ill Communication era

excerpt from 'Mullet Head' by the Beastie Boys

You're coming off like you're Van Damme
You've got Kenny G, in your Trans Am
You've got names like Billy Ray
Now you sing Hip Hop Hooray
Put your Oakleys and your stone wash on
Watching MTV and you mosh on
#1 on the side and don't touch the back
#6 on the top and don't cut it wack, Jack...

You wanna know what's a mullet? well
I got a little story to tell
About a hair style, that's way of life
Have you ever seen a Mullet wife?
