Let's get it started, (HA) ~ Let's get it started, (In Here)

[nickel]

Let's get it started in here.......

And the bass keeps runnin, runnin and runnin runnin'
and runnin' runnin' and runnin' runnin' and runnin' runnin'
and runnin' runnin' and runnin' runnin, and runnin' runnnin'
and.....

In this context, there's no disrespect
So when I bust my rhyme, you break ya necks
We got five minutes for us to disconnect
From all intellect and let the rhythm effect

Obstacles and inhibition follow your intuiton
Free your inner soul and break away from tradition
Cause when we be out, girlies pull the heat out
You wouldn't believe how we wow sh*t out
Burnin 'til it's burned out, turn it 'til it's turned out
Act up from North West East South

[Chorus:]
Everybody, everybody, let's get into it.
Get stupid.
Get it started, get it started, Get it started,
Let's get it started, (HA)
Let's get it started, (In Here)
Let's get it started, (HA)
Let's get it started, (In Here)
Let's get it started, (HA)
Let's get it started, (In Here)
Let's get it started, (HA)
Let's get it started, (In Here)
Yeah.

[DarkFury]

What did you want to get started again? :shrug:

[ialsohaveadream]

It's actually "Let's get retarded". "Get into it/get stupid/get retarded"

[DaFunkyUnit]

Bop your head like epilepsy

:hihi:

Perhaps if She was Pink, she would want to Get this party started. :)

[nickel]

speaking of Pink. she is gonna play Janis Joplin in the movie about her.
hopefully the movie won't suck, BUT i think Pink has the voice range and the 'tude.

[oblongmelon]

hey if val kilmer can play Morrison and get away with it-Pink can play joplin..I can't wait to see it-I hope she does the role justice

[nickel]

yeh, and let's not forget he got away with playing John Holmes, too :gle:

[ski]

It's actually "Let's get retarded". "Get into it/get stupid/get retarded"
:stupid:

Song makes less sense with the radio/NBA version:

"Everybody, everybody, let's get into it
Get stupid"

THE BLACK EYED PEAS!!!!

what a kawinkydink - i just got their CD last thursday, and ive been listening to it non-stop in my car since. i waited til all the hype surrounding it died down (justin timberlake with Where is the love, and The NBA using their song as its Finals theme).

its FUNK-A-LISHUS!!!! :P

if youre a fan of the funk, this is one great album from last year (even though its labeled hip-hop, its more funkeh than yer 7 day old panteh). theyve been around a while, but to me it's commercial breakout success breathes new life to a semi-sleepy genre that seemed to be stuck with the 70s groove. granted, Prince and even the B-52's were able to capture the spirit, none of it were truly embraced FULLY, though you hear the influence of it thru the current hiphop generation, among the sampled beats, riffs, and melodies. Of course one can argue that Outkast has it too (with Andre's work), but it doesnt get more apparent with the Peas.

ok, enough sounding like a magazine critic review - the record is just great! almost sounding unpolished, but that's whats so great aboot it. it feels so RAW, really true to the core of the funk. if you still dont have it, buy it! or download it whatever...just get it! and you'll get it... ;)

one thing that got my attention was when they performed on The Tonight Show. MAN! were they SPASTIC! they were ALL OVER the small stage, and they were freestyling too the whole time. sing and rap LIVE, while at teh same time dancing quite uhm, spastically, is just phenomenal to watch. so much energy.
ok, the real reason i got glued real tight to the TV that time was the girl Stacey Ferguson. she can melt your eyes! if youve seen her work her body while belting out a mean tune, youd probably wet yerself (i think i did that night... ha ha!)

anyways, im glad i got this album. well worth the $9 i spent for it.

whats funny is that song is the BONUS TRACK (like ialsohaveadream said, its really "Lets get Retarded in Here thats the real tune).

and btw, its:
Let's get it started, (HOT!)
Let's get it started, (In Here!)
:)

[ray]

I have a different bonus track on my album. I bought it last year when the album was released. They've probably released new versions since then.

[DaFunkyUnit]

I've seen them perform live. And yes, they're totally high energy. But, it gets annoying when every other thing they say is: "PUT YER HANDS IN THE AYYYY-YEER! WAVE 'EM LIKE YOU DONT CAYYYY-ERRR" or "HANDS WAYY UP HIIGH! WAVE 'EM SIDE TO SIDE"

[yippiekiyeh]

The question I want to know is what are the new lyrics for the redid version they did for NBA finals... I've been searching but having a hard time, can any one assist?

What hip hop group doesn't do that these days ;)

I saw them perform live back in 1998 on the Smokin' Grooves tour. That was well before they became popular. They've always impressed me with their originality and creativity.

Don't move too fast, people, just take it slow.
Don't get ahead, just jump into it.
Ya'll here a body, two pieces to it.
Get stutted, get stupid.
You'll want me body people will walk you through it.
Step by step, like you're into new kid.
Inch by inch with the new solution.
Trench men hits, with no delusion.
The feeling's irresistible and that's how we movin'.

[Chorus:]
Everybody, everybody, let's get into it.

[guiseppewv]

hey if val kilmer can play Morrison and get away with it-Pink can play joplin..I can't wait to see it-I hope she does the role justice


Sorry obby but you cannot even compare the acting ability of Pink and Val. Sorry but Val Kilmer is one helluva actor.

[redcolours]

to be radio-friendly/MTV-friendly, i guess. cleaned-up lyrics. (sorta).

kinda like Purple Pills by D-12. it was remade as "Purple Hills", not just to defray any drug references, but to (again) make it MTV/radio friendly.

plus that way they can have more exposure for the album, lengthening its shelf life, so people will buy it more. $$$ consideration, bottomline.

has Pink ever acted in a movie before? i think this will be her first. don't jump the gun and discredit her young career.

[zenbooty]

Wasn't she in Moulon Rouge?

[nickel]

Wasn't she in Moulon Rouge?
but not as an actress i don't believe.
i am not defending her. i am not sure how she will pan out as a main character.

[DaFunkyUnit]

Wasn't she in Moulon Rouge?

the music video.

(along with Christina, Mya, Lil Kim, and Missy E)

[zenbooty]

Oh, I thought they did some song and dance in the movie.

I was able to find this, but there was a mention that they had some new lyrics about the 24 second clock et.al for the NBA promos. I was wondering if anyone knows anything about that?
