Cooky Puss is the second EP by the Beastie Boys, and features their first Hip hop recording. It was released in 1983 as a 12-inch single on Rat Cage Records.

All 4 tracks, along with the entire Pollywog Stew EP, appear on the compilation album Some Old Bullshit.

The Cooky Puss track samples Steve Martin's "My Real Name" segment on his 1978 A Wild and Crazy Guy album.

The airline corporation British Airways used a portion of 'Beastie Revolution' (without the band's permission) in one of their television ads; the Beastie Boys contacted a lawyer and successfully sued British Airways for $40,000.^[1] This money was then used to rent an apartment at 59 Chrystie Street in Chinatown, New York City. This apartment was not only used as a place to live, but also as a place for the group to rehearse and record. While living there, they honed their skills and transitioned from punk rock to hip hop. The apartment was remembered in "59 Chrystie Street", a song on 1989's Paul's Boutique LP.
