Shadrach (Beastie Boys song)

"Shadrach" is a song by American hip hop group Beastie Boys from their second studio album Paul's Boutique (1989).

It was released as the album's second single on October 30, 1989, as a 7-inch vinyl backed with the non-album track "And What You Give Is What You Get".

The song refers to the Biblical story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego and the fiery furnace in the Book of Daniel.
