The source of this line, used in the track "B-Boys Making With the Freak Freak" on the Beastie Boys' album Ill Communication, was often pondered by Beastie Boys fans until in 2007, a fan finally asked one of the band members, Adam Horovitz, who immediately solved the mystery.
The full line, "Shit, if this is gonna be that kind of party, I'm gonna stick my dick in the mashed potatoes", is sampled from a comedy album recorded by the comedian Mantan Moreland on his album That Ain't My Finger.
Moreland performed in films and onstage, while also doing comedy in vaudeville from the 1920s to the 60s.
What sort of party would I find myself sticking my dick in the potatoes? Why, the one where a belly button is needed in the mashed potato man.
