Librarians Recreate Beastie Boys “Sabotage,” Are Coolest Librarians Ever

You might imagine librarians spend their spare time sitting by the fire rereading Shakespeare. While that may hold true for some, a few others would rather show the world just what happens if you aren’t quiet in the library and made possibly the best music video ever: Beastie Boys “Sabotage” starring librarians.

The video stars Anne Duncan, Cathy Connelly, and Stephanie McMurry, who are hopefully pitching a script to Hollywood about badass librarians who fight crime, likely starring Sandra Bullock.

So how does the remake compare to the original? See for yourself:
