“Frog Went A-Courting” is a Scottish-written, English language folk song that first hopped into the world in 1548.

It’s a craaazzzyyy story about a frog who wants to marry a mouse but must first get the permission of the mouse’s uncle, who is a rat, of all things.

However, our lil' frog homie isn’t the mouse’s only suitor. There are three others: a bumblebee, an owl, and a bat.

Just as the frog is about to propose, the bumblebee, owl, and bat interrupt him.

The frog’s solution? Merk every single one of them sans the mouse and her rat uncle, of course.

Ultimately, the frog and mouse end up together and live happily ever after.

An astute observation. Trayvon did have something in his hands. A bag of Wild Berry Skittles and a can of Arizona brand fruit juice.

After this detail was released to the public, Skittles and Arizona beverages became key symbolic elements in the litany of protests and demonstrations on behalf of Trayvon. So much so, in fact, both brands began taking fire from groups of individuals that believed they were profiting from Trayvon’s death.

In response, Wrigley — a division of Mars Inc. and the maker of Skittles — released this statement:

We are deeply saddened by the news of Trayvon Martin's death and express our sincere condolences to his family and friends . . . We also respect their privacy and feel it inappropriate to get involved or comment further as we would never wish for our actions to be perceived as an attempt of commercial gain following this tragedy.

Similary, Arizona Beverage Co. released this statement:

Arizona Iced Tea would like to express our sincere sympathies to Trayvon's family and friends. At this time, we will make no further comment as we wish to respect the family's privacy and grieving time and feel it is inappropriate to become involved in a private family matter.

The sound of a crowd saying “Yeah!” here, in addition to other sound bites which put off the vibe that a crowd is saying it, were made by about five people, according to T La Rock.

To achieve that sound, T La Rock said, “We used a machine where you can overlap the voices.”

Two of the backing vocalists, were a pre-Beastie Boys Ad Rock and his then partner Dave Scilken

Boogaloo is a genre of Latin music and dance that was first popularized in the United States in the 60s by New York City teenagers of Cuban, Puerto Rican, and other Latin nationalities.

However, in this instance, it’s more likely that MCA is referring to the electric boogaloo, a style of funk and hip-hop dance that became the signature style of the Electric Boogaloos in the 70s, who — alongside the electric boogaloo — popularized popping and a handful of its related styles.

Below is a video of Boogaloo Sam, founder of The Electric Boogaloos, performing his signature dance.

Manhattan is one of the five boroughs of New York City and Secaucus is a city in New Jersey. Here, the Beastie Boys are playing into a cross-state rivalry that’s existed probably since the statehood of New Jersey (1787) and New York City (1788).

In short, since New Yorkers and New Jerseyans tend to think very little of each other, this line simply serves to differentiate the Beastie Boys from the whack.

Beer Advocate score: 88 out of 100

#funfact: I gifted a twenty-ouncer of this to my girlfriend’s beer snob uncle for Christmas. Although he tends to keep a fairly nice stock of craft brews, they’re all very traditional. His reaction upon first sip was pretty close to this:

This beer is not for the unadventurous. There’s so much that goes on taste-wise that is unlike anything you’ve ever tried in a beer. If you like herbal teas, chai, and gettin' hella crunk (Sah'tea is 9% ABV), you’ll like this beer.
