"No Sleep Till Brooklyn" is a song by the Beastie Boys on the album Licensed to Ill.
The guitar solo is played by Slayer guitarist Kerry King, who had also released an album produced by Rick Rubin in 1986 (Reign in Blood). The song also contains samples from "T.N.T." by AC/DC (though tuned in a different way). [1] The video is a spoof of heavy metal music. The name of the song itself is a spoof on Motörhead's No Sleep 'til Hammersmith album.
British comedian Tony Hawks recorded the song, "Stutter Rap (No Sleep Til Bedtime)" under the pseudonym of "Morris Minor and the Majors" as a send up of the Beastie Boys' then image.
The song is also on the soundtrack of the Steven Seagal movie Out for Justice.
The Canadian teen drama Instant Star named its second season premiere two part episode after this song. The show is known for naming each of its episodes after a hit song.
