With a GoldieBlox ad hitting more than eight million times in Youtube with a song that sounds just like the Beastie Boys' song 'Girls' from 1986 album 'Licensed to Ill,' the toy company that was trying to show a great message might be sued by the band and its music label with copyright infringement.

After hearing and seeing the viral video that hit the web, the remaining members of the Beastie Boys, Michael "Mike D" Diamond and Adam "Ad-Rock" Horovitz, released a statement saying:

"Like many of the millions of people who have seen your toy commercial "GoldieBlox, Rube Goldberg & the Beastie Boys," we were very impressed by the creativity and the message behind your ad.

We strongly support empowering young girls, breaking down gender stereotypes and igniting a passion for technology and engineering.

As creative as it is, make no mistake, your video is an advertisement that is designed to sell a product, and long ago, we made a conscious decision not to permit our music and/or name to be used in product ads. When we tried to simply ask how and why our song "Girls" had been used in your ad without our permission, YOU sued US."

The toy company on the other hand said that this was supposed to be a parody of the song since all the words and even the message of the song is altered to not only advertise their product but also to give a good image for women as the original song was said to be sexist.

In their complaint they wrote:

"In the lyrics of the Beastie Boys' song entitled Girls, girls are limited (at best) to household chores, and are presented as useful only to the extent they fulfill the wishes of the male subjects. The GoldieBlox Girls Parody Video takes direct aim at the song both visually and with a revised set of lyrics celebrating the many capabilities of girls. Set to the tune of Girls but with a new recording of the music and new lyrics, girls are heard singing an anthem celebrating their broad set of capabilities-exactly the opposite of the message of the original. They are also shown engaging in activities far beyond what the Beastie Boys song would permit. GoldieBlox created its parody video specifically to comment on the Beastie Boys song, and to further the company's goal to break down gender stereotypes and to encourage young girls to engage in activities that challenge their intellect, particularly in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math."

However, third member of the Beastie Boys Adam Yauch who died last year from cancer said on his last will "in no event may my image or name or any music or any artistic property created by me used for advertising purposes."
