Boom boom shit: the Black Eyed Peas get jacked by poultry

Although I have Underworld's (pictured) comical house masterpiece Mmm Skyscraper I Love You blasting from my JVC boombox, I can't shake the lyrics of the new Black Eyed Peas single from my mind.

For a bit of electro pop puff, the Peas have thrown in a lot of lyrics. They talk of poultry jacking Fergie's style. They tell of Will.i.am carelessly stepping on leprechauns. And for a song that will be exclusively bought by one-year-olds, there's an awful lot of "shitting".

Sing these lyrics along to any track you wish. It works.

Gotta get that, gotta get that, gotta get that,
Gotta get, that that that, that that
Boom boom boom (Gotta get that)
Boom boom boom (Gotta get that)
Boom boom boom (Gotta get that)
Boom boom boom (Gotta get that)
Boom boom boom (that)
Boom boom boom (that)
Boom boom boom
Boom boom boom

Yo, I got the hit that beat the block
You can get that bass overload
I got the that rock and roll
That future flow
That digital spit
Next level visual shit
I got that (Boom boom boom)
How the beat bang (Boom boom boom)

I like that boom boom pow
Them chickens jackin’ my style
They try copy my swagger
I’m on that next shit now
I’m so 3008
You so 2000 and late
I got that boom boom boom
That future boom boom boom
Let me get it now

Boom boom boom (Gotta get that)
Boom boom boom (Gotta get that)
Boom boom boom (Gotta get that)
Boom boom boom (Gotta get that)
Boom boom boom (that)
Boom boom boom (that)
Boom boom boom

I’m on the supersonic boom
Y’all hear the space ship zoom
When when I step inside the room them girls go apeshit, uh
Y'all stuck on super A-shit
They're no fast stupid a bit
I’m on that HD flat
This beat go boom boom bat

I’m a beast when you turn me on
Into the future cybertron
Harder, faster, better, stronger
Sexy ladies extra longer, cuz
We got the beat that bounce
We got the beat that pound
We got the beat that 808
That the boom boom in your town

People in the place
If you wanna get down
Put your hands in the air
Will.i.am drop the beat now

Yep yep, I be rockin’ them beats (Yep, yep)
I be rockin’ them beats (Yep yep yep, yep)

Here we go, here we go
