Talk:(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (To Party!)

message: I think Kerry King is the one wearing the "Slayer" shirt, while Rick Rubin appears at the beginning of the video wearing the "AC/DC" shirt 
(s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_Rubin).
I didn't know where to put this, but heres a link to the news story covering the Corey Worthington cover version: http://www.news.com.au/entertainment/story/0,26278,23624265-10388,00.html  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.217.89.82 (talk) 12:32, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

message: I don't have copy of it handy, but I recall that, in the section at the beginning talking about the inalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, it says that "however, the right to party was deemed not inalienable and needed to be fought for."  Someone who actually has the book and could cite it should add it to the article --12.172.67.7 17:12, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

message: A user added the following text:
"It is suspected that the song's riff is stolen from the Deep Purple song Smoke on the Water."
This is a highly inflamatory remark that could cause legal problems. Is there a reference to support it? 217.43.193.70 (talk) 19:59, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

message: There is a cover version of this song by Andrew Paul Woodworth. YouTube link
According to the text there:
"It is actually the first time the Beastie Boys have ever approved the usage of a cover of one of their songs."

thread_title:  Dead link 

message: This article states that the release date of this single was February 22, 1987. That is definitely incorrect. There are several photos of the original 7" records that show it was released in 1986 on Discogs.com (and several other websites). Also, the song was already on the Hot 100 before January of 1987. I can't find the original release date for the single, but if somebody else knows how to find it out, could they please correct it on this page, the Licensed To Ill page, and the Beastie Boys Discography (Singles section)?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sadchild (talk • contribs) 16:02, 16 July 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Release date is inaccurate 

message: Tom Cushman is identified here as an original co-writer of the song, however they are not given a writing credit and all the references I have found to them simply regurgitate this "fact" verbatim or paraphrased. The citation linked at the end of the sentence includes an audio interview from 2006 where the song is discussed, however no mention is made of Tom Cushman.
That said, it appear Tom Cushman is/was a real person associated with the Beastie Boys at the time (http://beastiemania.com/whois/cushman_tom/). Seems a raw deal if this is true, but probably further documentation is needed to keep it on the page. Killjoy966 (talk) 15:03, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
