"Ch-Check It Out" is the first single off the album To the 5 Boroughs by the alternative hip-hop group The Beastie Boys. The song hit #1 on the U.S. Modern Rock Tracks chart, #68 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and #8 on the UK Singles Chart.
This song received quite a bit of air time despite profanity. The edited version substituted other words in for the profane ones. For instance, MCA's line "all you Klingons in the fucking house" became "all you Klingons in your grandma's house". It seemed that the Beastie Boys preferred this censored version in retrospect anyway, as playing it live they always say "Grandma's house". The song was very popular right before the album was released around June 2004.
