Beastie Boys - (You Gotta) Fight For Your Right (To Party) (1986)

Beastie Boys - (You Gotta) Fight For Your Right (To Party) (1986) Directed by Ric Menello and Adam Dubin,[8] there are numerous cameos in this video, including an unknown-at-the-time Tabitha Soren, Robert John “Mutt“ Lange, Def Jam label mate LL Cool J, Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, members of the punk rock band Murphy’s Law, as well as the Beastie Boys’ producer, Rick Rubin, who was shown wearing an AC/DC and Slayer shirt, the latter of whom were also signed to Def Jam at the time. Soren, whose hair was dyed blonde for the shoot, got her chance to be in the video because she was a friend of Rubin’s and attended nearby New York University. “I worked hard at not getting any pie goo on me,“ she recalls, because the whipped cream used had been scoured from supermarket trash cans since there was no money in the budget for it.
