Why do people like this song? It's supposed to be about having fun, but it's one of the least fun-sounding songs I've ever heard. It's even less fun than "Dancing on the Ceiling" or "Celebration."

WTF?

you ask a lot of dumb questions sometimes

about music, anyway

but the beatles song is good

10/16/2009 6:06:22 PM

ugh. it gets stuck in my head

and i first heard it on one of the best drunken nights of my life. so it brings back some good memories....or um lack there of. i guess it reminds me that i had a really fun time?

but it is definitely one of those situational songs. if i didn't associate it with this other event then yea, wouldn't like it. i mean not that i LIKE it - i don't listen to it by choice. but sometimes if i hear it i leave it on.

huh, that's not even correct use of the contraction/word "gotta" ("got to"... using it to mean "got a" is no different than just using "got a" itself... shit is retarded.).

I don't know the song off the top of my head just from the title, but will use this information to assume it's shitty.

what is "not fun" about that song? i'm betting that you're one of those losers who only thinks music is good if only you have heard of it.

10/16/2009 6:09:22 PM

wait. are we or aren't we talking about fergie

i'm so confused now.

10/16/2009 6:10:14 PM

They all sound miserable and disaffected. There's no energy in the vocals or the music...it's the opposite of fun.

10/16/2009 6:11:47 PM

and the radio plays it, they're total sellouts

10/16/2009 6:12:56 PM

10/16/2009 6:15:05 PM

Oh shit, I've been pegged!

Aww man, I have to throw out my mono and stereo Beatles catalogs!

Since they're popular, I'm no longer allowed to like them!

BTW, this thread was inspired by the fact that I've heard the same two Black Eyed Peas singles at least three times each in the past two hours over the Enloe PA.

10/16/2009 6:16:23 PM

oh good we are talking about black eyed peas

for a minute i got all confused

i don't know what is going on here anymore so i'm just gonna leave. and not mention the fact that the time i heard this song and liked it i was on a party bus going to see kid rock on long island.

kkkkkkkkkkk byyyyyyye!!!

I just watched this video. The song sucks.

And I don't care how much makeup Fergie puts on, she's still disgusting. And showing a scene with her in the shower only reminds me of her pissing herself on stage.

And while everybody talks about Lady Ga Ga having the penis, I'd bet MONEY it's Fergie.

10/16/2009 6:23:11 PM

yea fergie is gross

and talentless

i don't really know why she exists

also she has a five head

and what the fuck is 2000 and late anyway.

10/16/2009 6:23:45 PM

One moment I was listening to a black eyed peas song, then all of a sudden will.i.am started yelling at me for no reason

10/16/2009 6:29:50 PM

william yells?

i thought fergie was the primary yeller

10/16/2009 6:30:29 PM

i like that song. i also like boom boom pow.

10/16/2009 6:37:14 PM

he yells

and arranges for annoying dudes to be punched

10/16/2009 6:37:24 PM

This is the first time I've heard to this song in non-advertisement form.

Didn't even know who it was before, or even really thought about it.

What is the commercial it's in anyway? I don't remember now.

10/16/2009 6:45:43 PM

i agree with this analysis of the song

Quote :

"4. Black Eyed Peas: "I Gotta Feeling". Look. I know. I'm sorry, OK? I never meant for this to happen. But one of the prices of claiming you don't believe in guilty pleasures is that sometimes you have to rep for things that you know are just unbelievably lame in so many ways. The Black Eyed Peas have done so many things to annoy me in so many ways over the past five years (at least) that I had a hell of a time admitting to myself how I felt about this one. But there it is: Gigantically hooky jock-jam about getting ready to go out at night, with a perfectly executed techno-rock stomp and a riff the Killers would've killed for. And the way Will.I.Am and Fergie deliver their lines, every last line ends in an exclamation point, which is exactly the sort of dumb shit I love: "Fill up my cup! Mazeltov!" Those strings just kill me. This is big-money all-cylinders pop done just exactly right, and real talk, we should all be glad that this sort of thing is still allowed to exist. I hate to even bring the man into this, but it seems weirdly appropriate that this song managed to cling to iTunes top dog status even immediately after Michael Jackson's death; it's proof positive that the monoculture that Jackson came to represent for so many pundits still exists in some battered form. I don't know why I think that's a good thing, but I do. (from dipdipdive.blogspot.com)"

The flashmob dance at the Oprah premier was aight.

10/16/2009 9:52:41 PM

It wasn't a flash mob.

10/16/2009 9:54:43 PM

Space butterflies don't care for the taste of purple.

10/16/2009 10:03:53 PM

I'm just sayin'.

If people don't run in, do something, and then disperse, it's not a flash mob.
