Aside from the repurposed lyrics from their hardcore days, the lyrics to this song are actually quite literal. When the Beastie Boys relocated to L.A. to begin working on Paul\'s Boutique they spent a considerable amount of time chucking eggs at people from cars and, notably, from the roof and their rooms at the swanky Mondrian Hotel overlooking the sunset strip (directly across the street from the iconic Comedy Store, whose patrons waiting in line were a frequent target). They eventually rented a house (in which they discovered all of the fly \'70s outfits they can be seen wearing during that period) and their reign of egg terror ended (or at least slowed down a little).
