THE NORTH RIDING PROJECT

The Beasties name-drop their preferred cult-favourite burger chain a staggering five times on their classic 1986 LP Licensed to Ill: “I chill at White Castle, ‘coz it’s the best (“The New Style”); “I can always make ‘em smile / From White Castle to the Nile (“Girls”); “Got the ladies of the ‘80s from here to White Castle” (‘Hold it Now, Hit It”); “We went to White Castle and got thrown out” (“Slow Ride”); and “We got determination, bass and highs / White Castle fries only come in one size” (“Slow and Low”).
