What we thought it meant : Without question (You Gotta) Fight For Your Right (to Party) is one of the greatest party anthems of all time. Everyone gets pumped by mumbling their way through the verses, before shouting the refrain with such ferocity. After all, what is more important than ones ability to have a good time? What it actually means : Regrettably, that was never what it was intended to be. In fact, it was written as a parody to mock all the play hard party songs that inundated the 80s, such as Twisted Sisters I Wanna Rock and Motley Crues Smoking In The Boys Room. After all, its about high school kid, and no matter what Hollywood may tell you: 15 year olds are rarely - if ever - that hardcore. So, despite the fact that it is without a doubt the bands most well known song, the mass majoritys inability to get the joke has been a cause of distress for the band, leading them to scarcely play it live and although it appears in their greatest hits - Sounds of Science - Beastie Boys member, MCA, says little about the song other than it sucks in the liner notes
