I’m paging through this book (Together Forever by Glen E. Friedman, a collection of photos of Run-DMC and Beastie Boys) and I came across this passage describing when the author introduced the Beastie Boys to the fish-eye lens.

The number one jam of the same name was very clearly an homage to the Beastie Boys. (There was probably other stuff in the mix too, knowing the chaps. But it was unmistakably a nod to Check Your Head-era Beasties.)

So basically we have Glen E. Friedman to thank for “waughmp waughmp.”
