Blondie cover Beastie Boys after receiving NME Award

Blondie received a Godlike Genuis statue from last night's NME Awards (the mag's version of a Lifetime Achievement Award). Debbie Harry & Co. celebrated the accolade by performing a cover of the Beastie Boys' "Fight For Your Right To Party."

Check out the video over at NME.

Fun fact: Blondie's "Rapture" was the first rap music video to play on VH1, a fact that Blondie undoubtedly thought of before they decided to use it segue into "Party."

After being presented the award by Lily Allen, the group gushed over the honor.

 "Hey hey! Thank you NME. I'm very happy to be here tonight," Harry said.

"Thank you guys. Back in the old days, we had an adversarial relationship with NME. They used to rake us over the coals. But Karl Marx once told me there's no such thing as bad publicity," Chris Stein added.

Blondie recently made headlines for refusing to perform at the Sochi Winter Olympics due to Russia's history of human rights abuses.
