}} "Sabotage" is a 1994 song by American hip-hop group Beastie Boys, released as the first single from their fourth studio album ''Ill Communication''. The song's style is characterized as rapcore, featuring traditional rock instrumentation (Ad-Rock on guitar, MCA on bass, and Mike D on drums), turntable scratches and heavily distorted bass guitar riffs. A moderate commercial success, the song was notable as well for its video, directed by Spike Jonze and nominated in five categories at the 1994 MTV Music Video Awards. In 2004, ''Rolling Stone'' magazine ranked "Sabotage" #480 on their list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. In March 2005, ''Q'' magazine placed it at #46 in its list of the 100 Greatest Guitar Tracks, and was ranked #19 on VH1's 100 Greatest Songs of the 90s list. ''Pitchfork Media'' included the song at #39 on their Top 200 Tracks of the 90s list. ==Music video== The song's music video, directed by Spike Jonze and played extensively on MTV, is a homage to, and parody of 70s Crime Drama shows such as ''Hawaii Five-O'', ''The Streets of San Francisco'', ''S.W.A.T.'', ''Baretta'', and ''Starsky and Hutch''. The video is presented as the opening credits of a fictional 1970s-style police show called ''Sabotage'', with the band members appearing as the show's protagonists. Each band member is introduced as a fictional actor, and the names of the characters are also given. The characters appearing on the show are (in order of credits): * Sir Stewart Wallace guest-starring as himself (played by MCA) * Nathan Wind as Cochese (also played by MCA) * Vic Colfari as Bobby, "The Rookie" (played by Ad-Rock) * Alasondro Alegré as "The Chief" (played by Mike D) * Fred Kelly as Bunny (played by DJ Hurricane) Some scenes had to be removed when the video was shown on MTV, including a knife fight sequence, a falling-off-a-bridge scene, as well as a scene in which a man is thrown out of a car into a street. In addition, the ''Beastie Boys Video Anthology'' featured a mock interview of the "cast" of ''Sabotage'' conducted by Jonze's then-wife Sofia Coppola. A more recent version, the uncut version, can be found on Vevo. In the DVD commentary for the 1996 film ''Trainspotting'', Danny Boyle credits the film's opening credits to those used in "Sabotage."〔DVD commentary.
