Remixes
The Fatboy Slim remix has the same lyrics, but has differences in the instrumental. This remix features a sample of "Fido" by The Byrds. This song is also featured on the Beastie Boys compilation The Sounds of Science which was released in the United States.
There is also a radio remix featuring Redman, Biz Markie and Erick Sermon—utilizing the backing of the Fatboy Slim remix. This remix is also featured on the Xbox 360 game, Dance Central and the Wii dancing video game, Just Dance 2.
Music video
The music video uses the Fatboy Slim remix version and was directed by MCA, under his alias Nathaniel Hornblower. It parodies and incorporates scenes from the 1968 Italian action film Danger: Diabolik (based on the comic character Diabolik) with Ad-Rock playing the titular character, MCA playing the villain and Mike D as the villain's assistant. It was released in two versions: censored and uncensored, with the censored version replacing machine gun fire with that of a laser gun, and omitting a comedic but bloody decapitation from the uncensored version.
