You rarely hear anyone cover the Beastie Boys. Is it because their songs rely so much on samples that they’re impossible to recreate legally without making a profit? How did they not get sued into oblivion with hundreds of samples used? Where do those royalties go today?
I realise this is a parody, not a cover, but it immediately came to mind when I saw this post.
Slip n Slide by the Beastie Boys.
