«Intergalactic» lanzada por el grupo de hip-hop Beastie Boys, fue el primer sencillo de su quinto álbum de estudio Hello Nasty el 12 de mayo de 1998. El single llegó al nº 28 en los EE.UU.
También alcanzó el número 5 en la lista de singles del Reino Unido, donde sigue siendo el mayor éxito de la banda en el país. La canción recibió un Premio Grammy por Mejor Interpretación de Rap en 1999.
Curiosidades:
- El vídeo fue grabado en Japón.
- Los japoneses tan reservados… ni siquiera conocían a los Beastie Boys por entonces.
- Se les prohibió rodar en el metro, por lo que el equipo de producción tuvo que estar continuamente cambiando de ubicación.
- A los actores caracterizados de robots, sólo se les decía… ¡Luchad!, pero no podían ver nada…
Y os dejamos con la letra de la canción.
Intergalactic, planetary, planetary Intergalactic
Intergalactic, planetary, planetary Intergalactic
Intergalactic, planetary, planetary Intergalactic
Intergalactic, planetary, planetary Intergalactic
Another dimension, another dimension
Another dimension, another dimension
Another dimension, another dimension
Another dimension, another dimension
Another dimension, another dimension
Another dimension, another dimension
Well, now, don’t you tell me to smile
You stick around I’ll make it worth your while
Like numbers beyond what you can dial
Maybe it’s because were so versatile
Style, profile I said
It always brings me back when I hear Wu child
From the Hudson river out to the Nile
I run the Marathon to the very last mile
Well, if you battle me I feel revile
People always sayin’ my style is wild
You’ve got gaul, you’ve got guile
If you step to me I’m going to rap full file
If you wanna battle you’re in denial
Comin’ from Uranus to check my style
Go ahead with my rhymes I’ll trial
Cast you off into exile
Intergalactic, planetary, planetary Intergalactic
Intergalactic, planetary, planetary Intergalactic
Jazz and Awol, that’s our team
Step inside the party, disrupt the whole scene
When it comes to beats, well, I’m a fiend
I’d like my sugar with coffee and cream
Well, I gotta keep it going keep it going full steam
To sweet to be sour to nice to be mean
With the tough guy style I’m not too keen
Trying to change the world, I’m going to plot and scheme
Mario C likes to keep it clean
Goin’ to shine like a sunbeam
Keep on rappin, ‘coz that’s my dream
Thank Mo D for sticking to the beats
Now when it comes to envy y’all is green
Jealous of the rhyme and the ryhme routine
Another dimension, new galaxy
Intergalactic planetary, planetary Intergalactic
Intergalactic, planetary, planetary Intergalactic
Intergalactic, planetary, planetary Intergalactic
Intergalactic, planetary, planetary Intergalactic
Were from the family tree of old school hip-hop
Kick off your shoes and relax your socks
Your rhymes are spread just like a pox
‘Coz the music is loud like an electric shock
I am known to do the wop
Also known for the Flintstone Flop
Tammy D gets biz on the crops
Beastie Boys known to let the beat, mmm, drop
Now when I wrote graffiti my name was Slop
If I rap soup my beats is stock
Step from the table when I start to chop
I’m the lumberjack D.J Ad Rock
If you try to knock me you’ll get mopped
I’ll stir fry you in my wok
Your knees start shakin’ and your fingers pop
Like a pinch on the neck from Mr. Spock
Intergalactic, planetary, planetary Intergalactic
Intergalactic, planetary, planetary Intergalactic
Intergalactic, planetary, planetary Intergalactic
Intergalactic, planetary, planetary Intergalactic
Another dimension, another dimension
Another dimension, another dimension
Another dimension, another dimension
Another dimension, another dimension
Another dimension, another dimension
Another dimension, another dimension
Do it
