I learned that the subway scene in Tokyo was totally unscripted and they didn’t have permits to film there. That would have been hilarious to see on your morning commute, the beastie boys rapping in engineering outfits!

My 17yo daughter told me this is currently her favorite song … I almost shed a tear.

Anyone and everyone still watching this 26 years later, you ROCK and I love you all 💪🏼

My son is four turning five this year and he calls this “the robot song” and ask to listen to it and watch the video all the time it’s precious

The Beasties have a unique style of being hilarious and not taking themselves too seriously, while also being incredible with their rhymes, beats. Legends. RIP MCA.

They're busting mad rhymes with an 80% success rate.

25 years later and this still sounds so fresh, unique and innovative. Incredible song!

Stop the "if you still listening in.." stuff.... just enjoy perfection.

when he said "Intergalactic planetary planetary intergalactic", I really felt that

"I like my sugar with coffee and cream" is one of the best verses in music history.

Got sick of toddler music so I played this for my 2 year old son about a month ago and told him it was “the Robot Song”. The video has been on a steady repeat and it’s sure to top my Spotify Wrapped this year. My kid officially has the best musical taste of any toddler. Haha

"I like my sugar with coffee and cream" One of the greatest rap lyrics ever!

Played this to my ten year old daughter she said it was terrible she's now doing well with her foster family

If you‘re listening in 2024 you‘re legend 💯

If you're listening to this in 2024, then we're friends!

That giant robot doesn't get enough recognition for the hot fire he was spitting on the hook! 🔥🔥🔥

I spent weeks, literally weeks, waiting for this song to come on TV so I could record it and listen to it whenever. Kids these days don't know how easy they have it.

THE most underrated hip hop track of all time. Top 10 for me. The energy, the production, the delivery, the flow. This is hip hop at its finest. Take notes. The Beastie Boys deserve way more respect. This track is hip hop personified.

We be making it to the year 3000 with this one🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️

God, I still get chills when that beat drops at the beginning.

You know a song is good when 23 years later it still slaps hard and has an active comment section

I remember watching this with my dad a million times as a kid. Now he’s gone but this song brings back so many good memories

I can watch this over and over. Never gets old

As a Japanese, I can say that this video packages the atmosphere of the end of the century in Japan. It's so dope.

Guys at my high-school re-enacted this for a talent show in 1998. It was phenomenal. Beastie Boys rock forever.

Imagine you're strolling through the subway in Tokyo on 1998 and you see these three guys with their dance moves :)

Man, I miss Beastie Boys. Those dudes were such a staple of my childhood/teens. Would literally wait for the World Premiere of their videos on MTV and TRL like it was Charismas on those days I got home from school.

I have no idea why they deleted this scene from Pacific Rim. It's clearly the best scene!

Always loved this episode of Futurama.

新宿駅周辺ですが、営団地下鉄の入口、旧型の自動改札機、そして移転前の小田急百貨店など、どれもこれも懐かしいです。素敵なMVに感謝します👍 Great song and video, thanks from Japan.

Damn my mom's loved this song and damn she was hella happy putting it on her phone and watching her just dancing and gruving to the song I will always remember and hold deep to my heart. I just lost my mom's to her second stroke in my arms and I'm still hurting and listening to what my mom's liked takes some of the pain away but just for a quick couple minutes. Rest in peace mom's 12/15/58-09/30/23 you will always be loved and remembered for being such a loving person damn I'm in tears just thinking about you right now

0:44 If you ever feel stupid, just remember these guys got out of their car to run away from the robot.

This is one of the best music videos ever made.

this is the one song I could listen over and over again and I’d never get bored of it

Gotta love the people in the background. Their reactions are priceless. 😂

I love that these guys really didn't take themselves that seriously, but still knew how to rock and pop hard.

Its crazy how many people come back to this everyday... this song is a masterpiece!!

I think this is the best song I have ever heard ever

One thing we should all remember is these guys did so much just “because it sounded cool” or “it was funny.” Probably why I relate to their stuff so much. So sick.

I get chills every time I hear the line "We're from the family tree of old school hip-hop." Even almost 25 years ago they had already earned the right to say that and those almost 25 years later it means even more. True artists that went in the studio and did what they loved to do and didn't care about the sales.

Impressive, they're busting mad rhymes with an 80% success rate.

Feliz 2024 para todos!!! Que este lleno de éxitos y siempre acompañados con la buena música!!!

Me And The Boys walking the streets during the Coronavirus 💯

Before this first came out, Beastie Boys had been out of sight for a few years. Nobody knew what it would sound like, music wasn’t leaked, nothing was spoiled. Then they dropped this on MTV and everybody saw and heard an instant classic.

I recently played "Intergalactic Planetary" for my stepson who's 4 years old and lives in Colombia. He absolutely fell in love with the song and its music video! Even though I told him the real title, he adorably refers to it as "the robot song." It's such a delightful experience to see music connecting with the younger generation, transcending barriers of age and language. #IntergalacticPlanetary #MusicMagic #RobotSong

Their MTab awards performance of 1998 still gives me chills💯🔥

THIS SONG IS STILL A RAP CLASSIC AFTER 23 YEARS.

22 years later and this song is still a jam

Years of gold when mtv was still a thing

As a metal head, I approve. I was 13 when licensed to I'll came out. Beastie boys are iconic

"We've arrived at our destination" "The monster doesn't appear to be here yet" "Deploy the rappers"

This was sooo 90s, even back in the 90s.

Rest in peace MCA (Adam Yauch) 1964-2012.

R.I.P Adam Yauch, the greatest rap group of all time

The Beastie Boys are timeless. they will always sound great

1998年の東京は色んな文化が混沌としていて、まるでサイバーパンクのような素晴らしい街並みでした。最近は区画整理されて綺麗になった反面、昔の良さは無くなってしまって残念です。近年はこのビデオの新宿駅もとても綺麗になりました。 90年代にビースティーボーイズの面々は何度も東京に遊びに来てくれてニューヨークのストリート文化を日本に伝えてくれました。日本から彼らに愛を込めて、ありがとうございます。MCA安らかに。

2024. Who is here? Still banging this song. Nostalgia activated🤜🤛

When this came out they absolutely killed it on MTV and I loved it every time

I'm sorry but these dudes never get old, they still hit hard. Timeless

Take me back to school days

This was and still is absolutely epic. Not only is it goofy and fun but it goes hard! Using the electronic influence combined with a hip/hop baseline and some pretty unique cadence really did produce an enigamatic sound. They smashed this one out of the park to be quite honest, it’s fun but also the sum of a lot of talent.

The musical switch up at 3:13 is incredible. They throw in an upright bass and just turn it something totally new but it’s so subtle somehow

what an underrated masterpiece

Them stomach punches crack me up every time.

Elon musk: so how was your day at school? X AE A-Xii: 0:38

Their outfit actually makes me laugh. Not because it's silly looking, but because they honestly look like real engineers, and they're just spitting bars and dancing around in public. So any normal person would be like "What the electrician doin'?"

Beasties were the goat. Could do any music. Pure Talent.

This came out when I was eight years old and I used to always randomly hear it on MTV. I’m 33 now and it randomly plays in my head often. Can’t believe this is the first time I went back to check the video!

Giant Robot: -Touches down to Earth -Kills a giant alien monster -Refuses to elaborate further -Leaves

I have toddler twins that absolutely love this song. "the robot song" on tv is our bargaining chip to get them to eat dinner

Beastie Boys paved the way for future white boy rappers - mad rhymes - immortal beats!

This Song is the definition of Being Creative The Rhymes so poetic the hook in a Robotic sound it juat amazing Beastiboys are so Creative They Are Legends❤❤❤

It's had been YEARS and I still love this song and the video. You got a robot doing the robot. WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT?

This is the first time i have seen the music video of this song...and it didn't disappoint. This tune still slaps in 2021 too!

One of the best instrumentals ever made in my opinion... and they flowed on it 4real...

This song doesn’t get the respect it deserves.

This video is legendary. What I love about it is it takes more than just Kaiju (giant monsters) from Japanese media. The shots, the costumes, the choreography, it's super Japanesy. On top of that they used a recording technique that would be used in music videos EVERYWHERE later: They would perform the song in a slower or faster pace on camera, then correct the pace of the video to match the song tempo, making either a hyper or airy feeling. This is legendary, and the song is one of the best rap songs ever made.

RIP to Biz Markie, who produced this monster of an album.

lands one earth > boogies > takes out a towns power grid > leaves

still sounds fresh all these years later. Intergalactic planetary, its the planetary intergalactic. another dimension...another dimension...

RIP Adam. I grew up in the 80’s and 90’s with great music like this and so many more awesome groups. Still my jam over 20 years later.

Leela: "Impressive." They're busting mad rhymes with an 80% success rate. Bender: I believe that qualifies as ill. At least from a technical standpoint.

Seeing the Beastie Boys live in concert after THIS album was dropped back in the day I can honestly say after attending over 200 live music venue events so far THESE guys were by far the absolute fucking best. Thank you BB's for your contribution in fighting for our right to party. 🤍🕯️🕊️

Another golden oldie.

These guys were about 20 years ahead of their time.

God when this song came out as a kid it was literally in EVERY kid's cd-player or boom box or on the radio. You could not escape this freakin' song.

Still the kings of hip hop/rap the fusion of old school west rap vibes mixed with white boy is classic and will never get old

If there was ever a song or music video that was deserving or demanding of the "IDGAF; be entertained" title, this is it for all eternity.

2022 and still going strong. They were so ahead of their time

Love the robot or hate him, he's spittin' straight facts.

If this ain't considered hip-hop, I don't know what is!🔥

This video is so far behind it's time that it's, in fact, ahead of it's time.

My friend Devin and I would rap this at the lunch table In highschool one of my greatest memories. I'm 29 now Devin has been gone for a year and I'll play this in his honor always. Love and miss ya man.

There will never be a time that the Beasties are not one of the most badass things that ever was.

We break for no one!

Finally. After over 20 years, I have finally figured out what song this was. I first watched this video back when it came out back in what 98? I was like 4. All I remember was 2 guys singing with a giant robot fighting a monster in the background.

*This one of the greatest songs of all time, I love all the beastie boys' work*

Who's listening 23 years later in 2021? Still an absolute banger.

Posting this on January 1st, 2024. Officially the first song I listened to this year and remembering how it feels to be creative, innovative, and have fun. Thanks to Adrock and Mike D for reminding me of that, and of course, thanks to MCA, the director of this masterwork of a video, wherever he is in this intergalactic plain of existence.
