BEASTIE BOYS

Fight for Your Right – Revisited Capitol ***

A quarter century on, the Beastie Boys revisit their earliest smash hit. Like Oasis' Cigarettes & Alcohol, Fight For Your Right (To Party)was conceived as parody but perceived by fans as the group's mission statement. A string of ludicrous cameos in this remake, from comedians Will Ferrell, Danny McBride and Seth Rogan, may be intended belatedly to correct that misconception. youtube.com

JENNIFER LOPEZ ft PITBULL

On the Floor Island **

“Party people . . . gettin’ sick on the floor.” It isn’t too often you hear a J-Lo track and think, wow, I can relate to that. I once slipped on puke at a 21st in Mullingar and dislocated my shoulder. So I’ve been there, J-Lo, I’ve been there.

NICKI MINAJ

Girls Fall Like Dominos Universal Motown ****

“Every other city is another Nicki tattoo/I steal [Lil’] Wayne’s girls, I steal Drakes girls too.” Minaj remixes The Big Pink’s Dominos, both to pay tribute to the likes of Madonna, Beyoncé and MIA, and also make a pretty unambiguous statement about her own sexual preferences.

ALEX METRIC & STEVE ANGELLO ft IAN BROWN

Open Your Eyes Virgin **

The video, a Rocky parody directed by comedian Peter Serafinowicz, is really hilarious. Alas, the song itself rather lets the side down. When did Ian Brown become the go-to guy for grizzled cod-profundity? I’m sure the old dude from Faithless could have talked some truly mind-blowing bollocks if they’d asked.

BRUNO MARS

The Lazy Song Atlantic ***

With his golden voice, boyish looks and impressive songwriting chops, Bruno Mars is much in demand these days. (Last year alone, he co-wrote B.O.B.'s Nothin' On You, Travie McCoy's Billionaireand Cee Lo Green's Fuck You.) So how does he spend a rare day off? "I'll be loungin' on the couch, chillin' in my snuggie." You're dead to me, Bruno.
