Treatment
Three guys (protagonists) meet a girl
(antagonist) who seduces them. They take her home and she steals all of their
stuff, while they sleep. The theme would
be the idea that young men are blinded by lust and naivety in their quest for a
woman.

Music Video Narrative Synopsis
The music video will follow the story told in the lyrics as a visual representation:
A girl meets one of the members of the group and he wants to take her home. Rumour has it that the girl has been seen on street corners, implying that she "gets around." When he tries to take him home, he the cab driver recognises the girl because he has had sex with her. Some time advances in the narrative and another member of the group meets the same girl as before while he is buying a hot dog. She approaches him and sweet talks him into going to his place. Two of the members of the band who know about her warn rech each other to "hide your gold" because they do not trust her. They sleep through into the afternoon, only to find that the girl has stolen all of the possessions from their room.

Initial Ideas For The Video
For my video I am thinking of having three men play the role of the Beastie Boys and make a narrative video based on the story in the lyrics. This will be mixed with a performance element as they will be rapping and dressing the viewer directly while interacting with the diegesis.
