Chapter Two

Paul’s Boutique

For several reasons, the following section does not come close to being a definitive guide to the samples used to construct Paul’s Boutique. The first reason is the practical matter of space. The second, as mentioned in Chapter One, is that the album’s creators are reluctant to talk about some of the samples, particularly borrowings that have not yet been widely identified. And finally, the men who made Paul’s Boutique can simply no longer remember every sample that appears on the album—if, indeed, they ever could.

“There must be some dust-covered list of all those samples somewhere,” says Michael Diamond hopefully. Until it surfaces, however, there are several excellent Web sites that minutely detail a great deal of the album’s samples and references. Two of the best resources are www.beastiemania.com and www.moire.com/beastieboys/samples/index.php, which is dedicated solely to an examination of Paul’s Boutique. Annotated lyrics can also be found at http://beastieboysannotated.com/paul.htm.

In addition to the fifteen songs from Paul’s Boutique, this chapter covers six non-LP remixes and outtakes from the same era; most have interesting—or sometimes just ridiculous—stories of their own.
