Body Movin' - Remastered 2009

Beastie Boys get some action from the back section on "Body Movin'," one of their biggest rump shakers. The song integrates a 1970 recording called "Modern Dynamic Physical Fitness Activities" by Ed Durlacher, who was best known as a square dance caller. In his recording, he goes through some basic calisthenics, but Beastie Boys chopped it up to make it sound like dance instruction ("you will do this four times with the left... four with the right"). The various remixes, including the version used in the music video, remove the Durlacher part.

The steel drums that come in around the 1:40 mark are sampled from a 1973 calypso cover of Tito Puente's "Oye Como Va" by Amral's Trinidad Cavaliers.

Fatboy Slim did a popular remix of this song that extends it to 5:32 (the album version is 3:04). The groove on this version is a sample of a 1969 song by The Byrds called "Fido." This remix was used in the Wii game Just Dance 2.
