In reality, we probably couldn't hear the "spaceship zoom", unless in the future space can actually transmit sound waves. Remember kids: standing on a very loud soundwave is very, very dangerous. what would be the future?! Thank you for messing with the space-time continuum, Black Eyed Peas.

Might I mention that if this is the music of the future, why is it happening now? That would be the music of the present. The boom boom pow is apparently a slippery character. (For artsy types, a proper analogy would be a toddler looking at the Mona Lisa, saying "fuck that shit!" and proceed to finger paint a stick figure.)

Apparently to this group, finding the music of the future is more important than appreciating the works of the past. If this is what the music of 3008 sounds like, I'm perfectly content with being "2000 and late". NEWSFLASH: FERGIE IS A HIP-HOP ROBOT, BRINGING US MUSIC FROM THE FUTURE. Either that, or swaggering chickens make her use the bathroom multiple times in one day. In a candid moment, Fergie also confesses that she's moved on from one type of shit to another. Chickens are "jacking" Fergie's "style." This may be the first documented case of racism against poultry in a hip-hop song. Also, note that they already have the "boom boom pow". At least they've finally come to terms about what their music is. Suddenly, the "future flow" is described as "spit" and "shit". They suddenly do an about-face in their allegiances. Being a hip-hop group, this is rather unlikely. Also, note that they think "that rock and roll" is the future. Also, this is the first time of many in this song in which the Black Eyed Peas claim they have the sound of the future. I predict the rest of the song will be just bragging. Apparently it's not that difficult if they get it within the first verse. but they need the boom boom pow! In this verse, it turns out they already have it. Perhaps their urgency will be revealed later on. For those that don't know, "boom" could either refer to an explosion, a boom microphone, a time of rapid growth, a small town in Belgium, or just the sound from a bass drum. Okay, so now we know what they "gotta get-get". Apparently, that thing is so difficult to obtain that one gets a stutter in the process. Gotta get-get, gotta g-g-g-get-get-get, get-get Their generic beats and dumb-as-rocks lyrics liquify your brain through constant exposure, until you're helpless to admit that you actually kinda like them.īut what goes behind a Black Eyed Peas song? I take a look into the lyrics to see what propaganda Will.I.Am, Fergie, and those other people are injecting into the public's minds: They infiltrate the Billboard charts and slowly suppress other deserving songs, often times, choking worthwhile songs out of existence. The entirety of ‘My Humps’įor anyone doubting Fergie as the definitive voice of feminism in the 2000s, they just need to hear the lyrics to 2005’s ‘My Humps’. On this sultry track, Fergie takes her rightful place as the leading voice of the Black Eyed Peas.The Black Eyed Peas are killing music like a viral infection. What’s more certain, is on lead single ‘Boom Boom Pow’, Fergie delivers a put-down which will not be bested this side of the 21st century. No one was ready for the lead single of the Black Eyed Peas’ fifth album 2009’s ‘The E.N.D.’ Music still hasn’t recovered from the way the band incorporated electronic pop into R&B. “I'm so three thousand and eight You so two thousand and late” - 'Boom Boom Pow' See, for example, the unconscionably awful ‘The Time (Dirty Bit)’ and its use of ‘(I’ve Had) The Time of my Life’.įergie of the Black Eyed Peas performs during a show in Sao Paulo, Brazil, Thursday, Nov.

One of Fergie and the Black Eyed Peas’ great skills was to reappropriate classic songs and bring them into a future no one asked for. “How come every time you come around My London, London Bridge wanna go down? - 'London Bridge'

Delicious, promiscuous, suspicious, fictitious, kisses, vicious, fitness, and witness all take turns to rhyme with “Fergalicious”. It’s all the other words Fergie has found to rhyme with her Shakespearian take on her moniker. The real genius in 'Fergalicious' isn’t this single line. And who’s ever come up with a more creative way to play on their name, beyond ex-bandmate will.i.am’s bastardisation of the name William? “Fergalicious, definition make them boys go loco” - 'Fergalicious' Will.i.am, Fergie and Apl.de.ap of the Black Eyed Peas perform during their concert in Stockholm Sweden, Thursday Sept.
