No Sleep till Brooklyn

"No Sleep till Brooklyn" is a song by the New York hip hop group the Beastie Boys, and the sixth single from their debut studio album, Licensed to Ill. One of their signature songs,[3] it describes an exhaustive tour and all the events that make it tiresome, but also emphasizes their determination not to rest until they reach their home base of Brooklyn.

[5] The song has been subject to several covers and parodies including "Stutter Rap (No Sleep til Bedtime)" by Morris Minor and the Majors.

[10] Later in their career, the Beastie Boys continued to perform the song live, although with altered lyrics to downplay their early party-boy reputation.

[12] Bob Dylan played the song on the "New York" episode of Season 1 of his Theme Time Radio Hour show in 2007, noting the Beastie Boys were not merely a "flash in the pan" in his introduction.

Ruth Collins, an actress best known for '80s B-movie horrors, is the lead dancer,[16] and actor Vic Noto is an outlaw biker.
