Like other most 20th century celebrities, the Beastie Boys are heads in jars. In 1999, they had five albums, and a thousand years later they had only made two more.
Production
Ken Keeler and David X. Cohen went to New York for 3 days to wait for the Beastie Boys to call, so they could record their lines for the episode.[1] Unfortunately, they never called, and so they returned to Los Angeles and later made the recordings with the band's members separately.[1] However, Adam "MCA" Yauch had scheduling conflicts with the recording session, so Adam "King Adrock" Horovitz voiced Yauch instead.[1]
In the scene, where the band sings "Sabotage" in a cappella, it was originally intended to be "(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (To Party!)", but apparently they didn't want to do it.[2]

Trivia
- The Beastie Boys are also employed as a method of torture for Bender in Robot Hell (they scratch his hard drive like a record).
