Beastie Boys‘ ‘Fight For Your Right (To Party)’ outside the gates of Downing Street.A video posted this morning (December 8) by BBC News journalist Vinnie O’Dowd shows a man wearing a top hat and holding a big speaker system playing the classic 1987 single loudly outside of Downing Street.The track – taken from the trio’s classic 1986 debut album ‘Licensed To Ill’ – features the refrain: “You gotta fight!/ For your right!/ To party!” You can see the clip below.The protestor’s actions appear to be a reaction to a recent report that alleges a party took place in Downing Street last December while the rest of the country were facing government imposed COVID restrictions.
