Clip of the Week: Elvis Costello & The Beastie Boys

Written by: Mike Sergott

Sat, Aug 28, 2010

In honor of Elvis Costello’s 56th birthday this week, we’ve included his appearance on Saturday Night Live’s 25th anniversary special… “sabotaging” the Beastie Boys’ song in an homage to his classic 1977 “Radio Radio” incident.

[Costello promised he wouldn't play the song (NBC didn't like its radio industry-critical lyrics and or there was a conflict with Columbia Records wanting him to play a different song). He played it anyway, putting show off schedule and Lorne Michaels would make sure he didn't appear on the show again for another twelve years.]
