The video presents the Beasties rapping and dancing in front and around three cameras: one at high shot, one at medium, and one at low. The song is slightly altered.

• The accidental synchronize from "To All the Girls" is taken out.
• The tape rewinding in the middle of the song is replaced.
• The wind sound effect at the end of the song is taken out because it segues into "Johnny Ryall."
