The Beastie Boys are suing the parent company of Chili's in a case that accuses the chain restaurant of running an advertisement that used the hip-hop trio's smash hit 'Sabotage' without permission.

The Beastie Boys are suing the parent company of Chili's in a case that accuses the chain restaurant of running an advertisement that used the hip-hop trio's smash hit 'Sabotage' without permission. The rap group, in a federal case filed Wednesday in New York, alleged Brinker International created a Chili's ad that used significant portions of 'Sabotage' and ripped off the song's music video.

Debuting in 1994, 'Sabotage' became a huge hit for The Beastie Boys, and its accompanying music video, where the group's three members donned wigs, fake mustaches and sunglasses in a parody of 1970s crime television shows, is one of the most recognizable in the genre.
