Adam Horovitz told how the song evolved from an incident when the Beastie Boys were waiting outside a recording studio for Run-D.M.C., when Joseph Simmons ("Run") suddenly came running down the street screaming incoherently. When he reached the Beastie Boys, he said "Here's a little story I got to tell...". After much confusion, Simmons stated "THAT's the song". The band worked on it from there.
In 2007, an artist called Kia Shine released a single called "Krispy" with a similar beat, raising questions about copyright infringement.

The song tells a fictional story of how Adrock, Mike D, and MCA first met. Adrock describes riding through the desert on a horse named Paul Revere (hence, the title of the song) with a quart of beer, on the run from the police. He runs into MCA, who asks him for a drink. When Adrock refuses, MCA pulls a gun on him and says, "You got two choices of what you can do...I can blow you away or you can ride with me." Adrock agrees, saying that he'll go if they can get to the border because "The sheriff's after me for what I did to his daughter".
The Brumos Porsche 250, also known as the Paul Revere 250, was a 250-mile sports car support race held on the road course at Daytona International Speedway on or around Independence Day, the same weekend of the NASCARSprint Cup Series' Coke Zero 400. It has been held off-and-on over the history of that event, either the same night, or a couple days before. The traditional date meant the race was usually held late at night, and finishes in the early morning hours of the next day. The theme of the race is based on the famous "Midnight Ride" of Revolutionary War patriotPaul Revere.
From 1967-1968, the race was sanctioned by the SCCA. From 1969-1972, it was held as part of the NASCARGrand American tour. Starting in 1973, it became part of the IMSA circuit, and continued through 1983. In 1984, it switched to an SCCA Trans-Am event for one season. For 1985-1986, it was a motorcycle race, then it was discontinued.
In 2000, the event was revived by the Grand Am series. The tradition of starting late at night, however, was muted somewhat. The event was scheduled as a Thursday or Friday night event, held immediately following NASCAR pole qualifying and/or final practice. The start time would be roughly 10 p.m. eastern. Attendance for the weeknight races was very sparse. NASCAR's typical weeknight qualifying crowd is normally small, and most of those that were in attendance left as soon as qualifying was over. In 2009, the race was moved to Saturday afternoon as part of a Grand Am/Sprint Cup day-night doubleheader.
Revere was a prosperous and prominent Boston silversmith, who helped organize an intelligence and alarm system to keep watch on the British military. Revere later served as a Massachusetts militia officer, though his service culminated after the Penobscot Expedition, one of the most disastrous campaigns of the American Revolutionary War, for which he was absolved of blame. Following the war, Revere returned to his silversmith trade and used the profits from his expanding business to finance his work in iron casting, bronze bell and cannon casting, and the forging of copper bolts and spikes. Finally in 1800 he became the first American to successfully roll copper into sheets for use as sheathing on naval vessels.
"Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On" (sometimes rendered "Whole Lot of Shakin' Going On") is a song written by Dave "Curlee" Williams and usually credited to him and James Faye "Roy" Hall. The song was first recorded by Big Maybelle, though the best known version is the 1957 hit rock and roll/rockabilly cover by Jerry Lee Lewis.
Origins of the song
The origins of the song are disputed, but the writing is usually co-credited to singer/songwriter Dave "Curler" Williams, and pianist and club owner James Faye "Roy" Hall. Hall said:
On 21 March 1955, Big Maybelle made the first recording for Okeh Records. The songwriting was credited to D. C. Williams, and the record was produced by Quincy Jones. Roy Hall made a recording of the song in September 1955 for Decca Records and maintained that he had written it and had secured the legal copyright as co-writer under the pseudonym of "Sunny David". However, a Decca sample copy of Hall's recording lists Dave Williams as the sole writer. On the Pop Chronicles documentary, Jerry Lee Lewis incorrectly credited Big Mama Thornton. All subsequent recordings of the song (including Lewis' recording for Sun Records) list the composers as Sunny David and Dave Williams . Hall was also a Nashville club owner, who later claimed to have employed the young piano player Lewis at some point around 1954.
Paul Revere & the Raiders was an American rock band that saw considerable U.S. mainstream success in the second half of the 1960s and early 1970s. Among their hits were the songs "Kicks" (1966; ranked No. 400 on Rolling Stone's list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time), "Hungry" (1966), "Him Or Me – What's It Gonna Be?" (1967) and the Platinum-certified classic No. 1 single "Indian Reservation" (1971).
History
Early years
Initially based in Boise, Idaho, the Raiders began as an instrumental rock band led by organist and founder Paul Revere Dick (January 7, 1938 – October 4, 2014).
In his early 20s, Revere owned several restaurants in Caldwell, Idaho, and first met singer Mark Lindsay (born March 9, 1942, Eugene, Oregon) while picking up hamburger buns from the bakery where Lindsay worked. The circumstance of their meeting was later referred to in the tongue-in-cheek song "Legend of Paul Revere", recorded by the group. Lindsay joined Revere's band in 1958. Originally called the Downbeats, they changed their name to Paul Revere & the Raiders in 1960 on the eve of their first record release for Gardena Records. The band garnered their first hit in the Pacific Northwest in 1961, with the instrumental "Like, Long Hair". The record had enough national appeal that it peaked at No. 38 on the Billboard chart on April 17, 1961. When Revere was drafted for military service, he became a conscientious objector and worked as a cook at a mental institution for a year and a half of deferred service. During the same time period, Lindsay pumped gas in Wilsonville, Oregon. On the strength of their Top 40 single, Lindsay toured the U.S. in the summer of 1961 with a band that featured Leon Russell taking Revere's place on piano.
The video for the single featured actress/model Patricia Kotero, better known as Apollonia, as the female doing the "shakin". She would later go on to co-star in the film Purple Rain.
The song's video was featured on an episode of [{Beavis and Butthead}}. The duo enjoyed the video, particularly Money's faces while watching the model dance around.

History with LEGO Episode 3 - Paul Revere's Ride
After researching Paul Revere's midnight ride on April 18, 1775, I discovered that the story I heard growing up—you know the one where Paul Revere rides through the streets of Boston courageously shouting, "The British are coming!"—isn't actually true!!! The story originated with poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, who lived from 1807 to 1882.
A few years after the events of April 18, 1775, Longfellow wrote a poem about Paul Revere's ride... but he stretched the truth a little. First of all, there were two riders. Paul Revere and William Dawes, who rode on a different path than Revere in case one of them got caught. And secondly, Paul Revere never actually said "the British are coming," because the British were already there.

After researching Paul Revere's midnight ride on April 18, 1775, I discovered that the story I heard growing up—you know the one where Paul Revere rides through the streets of Boston courageously shouting, "The British are coming!"—isn't actually true!!! The story originated with poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, who lived from 1807 to 1882.
A few years after the events of April 18, 1775, Longfellow wrote a poem about Paul Revere's ride... but he stretched the truth a little. First of all, there were two riders. Paul Revere and William Dawes, who rode on a different path than Revere in case one of them got caught. And secondly, Paul Revere never actually said "the British are coming," because the British were already there.
Revere's mission wasn't to warn the Minutemen about the British troops; he needed to warn Samuel Adams and John Hancock, the founders of the Sons of Liberty, who were in Lexington. Once Revere and Dawes did this, they started for Concord with another rider named Samuel Prescott. But Dawes lost his horse somehow, (no, I didn't make that up), and Revere was captured along the road, leaving Prescott to finish the ride of Paul Revere.
Don't take my word for it though. Check out all ten sources of information I found! This is what I love about history, and why I love telling stories with LEGO!

Highlights from the Brumos Porsche 250, Round 9 of the Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series. Scott Pruett and Memo Rojas clinch the victory in the final seconds of the race.

Adam Horovitz told how the song evolved from an incident when the Beastie Boys were waiting outside a recording studio for Run-D.M.C., when Joseph Simmons ("Run") suddenly came running down the street screaming incoherently. When he reached the Beastie Boys, he said "Here's a little story I got to tell...". After much confusion, Simmons stated "THAT's the song". The band worked on it from there.
In 2007, an artist called Kia Shine released a single called "Krispy" with a similar beat, raising questions about copyright infringement.

The song tells a fictional story of how Adrock, Mike D, and MCA first met. Adrock describes riding through the desert on a horse named Paul Revere (hence, the title of the song) with a quart of beer, on the run from the police. He runs into MCA, who asks him for a drink. When Adrock refuses, MCA pulls a gun on him and says, "You got two choices of what you can do...I can blow you away or you can ride with me." Adrock agrees, saying that he'll go if they can get to the border because "The sheriff's after me for what I did to his daughter".

After researching Paul Revere's midnight ride on April 18, 1775, I discovered that the story I heard growing up—you know the one where Paul Revere rides through the streets of Boston courageously shouting, "The British are coming!"—isn't actually true!!! The story originated with poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, who lived from 1807 to 1882.
A few years after the events of April 18, 1775, Longfellow wrote a poem about Paul Revere's ride... but he stretched the truth a little. First of all, there were two riders. Paul Revere and William Dawes, who rode on a different path than Revere in case one of them got caught. And secondly, Paul Revere never actually said "the British are coming," because the British were already there.
Revere's mission wasn't to warn the Minutemen about the British troops; he needed to warn Samuel Adams and John Hancock, the founders of the Sons of Liberty, who were in Lexington. Once Revere and Dawes did this, they started for Concord with another rider named Samuel Prescott. But Dawes lost his horse somehow, (no, I didn't make that up), and Revere was captured along the road, leaving Prescott to finish the ride of Paul Revere.
Don't take my word for it though. Check out all ten sources of information I found! This is what I love about history, and why I love telling stories with LEGO!

Now here's a little story I got to tell About three bad brothers you know so well It started way back in history With Ad Rock, MCA, and me, Mike D Been had a little horsey named Paul Revere Just me and my horsey and a quart of beer Riding across the land, kicking up sand Sheriff's posse's on my tail 'cause I'm in demand One lonely Beastie I be All by myself, without nobody The sun is beatin' down on my baseball hat The air is gettin' hot, the beer is gettin' flat Lookin' for a girl, I ran into a guy His name is MCA, I said, "Howdy," he said, "Hi" He told a little story that sounded well rehearsed Four days on the run and that he's dying of thirst The brew was in my hand and he was on my tip His voice was hoarse, his throat was dry, he asked me for a sip He said, "Can I get some?" I said, "You can't get none" And I had a chance to run, he pulled out his shotgun Quick on the draw, I thought I'd be dead He put the gun to my head and this is what he said "Now my name is MCA, I got a license to kill I think you know what time it is, it's time to get ill Now what do we have here? An outlaw and his beer? I run this land, you understand? I made myself clear" We stepped into the wind, he had a gun, I had a grin You think this story's over but it's ready to begin Now I got the gun and you got the brew You got two choices of what you can do It's not a tough decision as you can see I can blow you away or you can ride with me I said, "I'll ride with you if you can get me to the border" The sheriff's after me for what I did to his daughter I did it like this, I did it like that I did it with a whiffle ball bat So I'm on the run, the cop got my gun And right about now, it's time to have some fun The King Ad Rock, that is my name And I know the fly spot where they got the champagne We rode for six hours then we hit the spot The beat was a-bumpin' and the girlies was hot This dude was starin' like he knows who we are We took the empty spot next to him at the bar MCA said, "Yippee yo, you know this kid?" I said, "I didn't but I know he did" The kid said, "Get ready 'cause this ain't funny My name's Mike D and I'm about to get money" Pulled out the jammy, aimed it at the sky He yelled, "Stick 'em up!" and let two fly Hands went up and people hit the floor He wasted two kids then ran for the door I'm Mike D and I get respect Your cash and your jewelry is what I expect MCA was with it and he's my ace So I grabbed the piano player and I punched him in the face The piano player's out, the music stopped His boy had beef and he got dropped Mike D grabbed the money, MCA snatched the gold
