Will's Papaoutai performance with Stromae bruh... Not his worst but dear GOD I have to wonder how Paul wasn't losing his mind either in amusement or annoyance at that shit.
I'm 30 and I was in middle school and high school a few years after it came out and hell yeah I knew the original 😂. Not that anyone I knew liked it but I remember it blasting out at random places by immature people a bunch.
the only time I heard the uncensored version without having to actively seek it out it was being used in a Flash cartoon in like 2005. It's kind of fascinating that the clean radio edit immediately supplanted the original
I NEED Adum to listen to the Latin album because the fact that there's a song called Double D's starting with the lyrics, and I quote, "holy fuck. Holy fucking fuck. That body of yours is absurd" immediately followed by a song that samples Scat Man is absolutely fucking unbelievable.
Sometime last year I was doing dishes while my roomate was flipping through channels in the next room. She came across a band performing on America's Got Talent, singing a clear ripoff of "I Gotta Feelin" and I said "Who's this shitty Black Eyed Peas ripoff?" And she said, "This IS the Black Eyed Peas."
When you consider that selling out was originally an actual plan just to fund the next few "serious" Black Eyed Peas albums, you can really appreciate moments like this where Will I Am is clearly wondering if all this shit is worth it.
@@Keychaine Yeah I think so, watched a video on the group's origins ages ago. Hiring Fergie to sound more mainstream was a deliberate business strategy that Will I Am was very proud of.
@@KeychaineAll you have to do is listen to their older music like when they were The Atblan Klan (which Eazy E produced) and you’ll see the difference.
There's the live performance of Fergalicious where when Fergies rap verse kicks in it sounds like she's mumble rapping and she forgot it was her verse lmao.
@@na-vn5qy she did. Although I don't know if there's any video of it. There's pictures though lol. The thing I'm talking about is another instance of a bad fergie performance where it looks like she's drunk and forgets her cue for a split second.
thank you to whoever suggested this to him to watch. this was the best thing i've ever seen. will now be using "Let's Get Regarded" in my everyday vocab edit: also i feel SO bad for those band members, the ones playing instruments, they were actually KILLING it. bass guy had some good moments, drum guy was going hard, guitar guy was trying and he made that riff sound GOOD!
There's no love lost for the Black Eyed Peas, but that line has always been "Step by step like you're in the New Kids" to me and it's blowing my mind that nobody else noticed?
"why are we talking about cognitive abilities" because the song is about getting drunk and having dumb fun. So the censored version doesnt make you think of disabilities unless you know of the original
After losing my home & possessions to Hurricane Katrina I relocated to Austin, TX and got a job. Understandably, I had been somewhat distracted from pop culture & current events (aside from the obvious.) One day the radio was playing “My Humps” and I asked my coworker if this was some mediocre Houston rap group. When he told me it was actually the new hit by the “Joints & Jams” guys it became the new worst moment of 2005 for me.
Black Eyed Peas demanding a 10 from their audience for like 3 minutes before the song even starts when no one in the complete history of the fucking universe has ever gotten to even a 4/10 from these goober ass songs.
For contrast I watched a 1995 performance of Johnny B Goode with Chuck Berry and Bruce Springsteen yesterday - Chuck Berry barely touched his guitar and the crowd was at a 10. It's like day and night.
Also I just realized the lyrics at 12:29 are “Fill up my cup, mazel tov” and not “Fill up my cup, mountain top” which I thought. I’m Jewish, how did I miss that they’re saying mazel tov? 😆
I legitimately did not know of the uncensored version until like 3 years ago. I spent my whole childhood and teens thinking the censored version was the actual one.
You gotta remember it was a different era. We shouldn’t judge people from such a bygone time with our modern morals. After all, it’s not like we were there to fully experience the culture. /s
i think it's fine to use the word with your friends if you can't find a better descriptor but yeah making a hype song called "let's get [REDACTED]" is unhinged lol
I think their goal was to say, to enjoy this you have to check out your brain at the door, lose control act (redacted). Still an awful idea and execution. 😂😂
Not really, it was just a saying at the time this came out. Getting retarded was just a way of saying go crazy/turn up. It worked at the time, hence why it was a prettier successful song
I think your analysis of the lyrics focused too much on the controversial bits. The same argument for the original title also applies to "stupid". For both, the point is having fun acting without thought. Similarly, all the confusing lyrics are exaggerated descriptions of how it feels and looks to be dancing while drunk.
Me back in 2003: "this band fucking sucks" Others back in 2003: "lol you're just a hater, Black Eyed Peas is the greatest band ever!" Me in 2023: "this band fucking sucks" Others in 2023: "yeah you're right lol"
I get that regarded was a slang term in certain communities along with stupid and it more of a hype thing on the same level of “hyphy” but all the “goofy facial expressions and body movements” seem over the top for this particular song
This performance is like that SNL sketch where Andy Samberg is a dubstep dj who keeps hyping people up and refusing to drop the bass
The fact that this even isn't the worst performance by a Black Eyed Peas member is insane
Fergie singing the national anthem is amazing… though not for the reason she wanted it to he
Which one you thinking about?
Will's Papaoutai performance with Stromae bruh... Not his worst but dear GOD I have to wonder how Paul wasn't losing his mind either in amusement or annoyance at that shit.
I'm usually not somebody who gets offended at things or joins in on "cancelling" people but it's really fucked up to say saturday twice in a row.

They're singing a song about getting drunk and they actually appear to be smashed while performing.
That's what I call commitment
I was literally 23 years old when I found out (last year) that the popular version of this song is a censored version and that’s just wild to me
I’m 35 and only vaguely remember the original. From what I recall, the censored version almost immediately replaced the original in popular culture.
It took you 23 years to get it started.

My fav lyric is “BOP YA HEAD LIKE EPILEPSY” like ???????
As an autistic boi I would like to claim "let's get rewarded" as the autistic gangster rap anthem
I had a singing toothbrush with this song as a kid. Weirdest birthday gift I ever got.
Nicest way of telling you your medical diagnosis.
singing toothbrushes are a memory i buried deep
Yo, they made the band from The Urbz: Sims in the City a real thing
The fact you remember that shit lmao

They’re too good for that group
Just release an instrumental album! I’d buy it!
It was me lol. I'm glad i was of help.
Ironic how the song is called let's get it started but they take a life to start it 😂
Actually, it's Let's Get Re(t)garded
I like how young people don't know what the original song is called ...
There's no love lost for the Black Eyed Peas, but that line has always been "Step by step like you're in the New Kids" to me and it's blowing my mind that nobody else noticed?
I noticed. But then again I’m obsessed with NKOTB
Adum getting the Australian valleygirl "NOUEUEUUEEWWW!" absolutely correct
He should be in the next season of Yolo.
2004 was a different time, Scoot reminisces constantly about it
"why are we talking about cognitive abilities" because the song is about getting drunk and having dumb fun. So the censored version doesnt make you think of disabilities unless you know of the original

I like how the transcript just gives up every time they start singing.
Lets get regarded. In heeeeere.
The belly moment with the camera man is probably just a camera man who doesnt care
Fergie truly is beyond mediocre. You should watch her National Anthem performance sometime if you wanna cry laughing
"Mediocre" is the nicest word you can use to describe her
She only has one great song, Glamorous. Fergie is really an insignificant artist.

No the original is better and funnier lol

Remember when the Black Eyed Peas performed at the Super Bowl
As bad as it is, still better than Fergie National Anthem
Are you even partying if you’re not getting ignant?

I need to hear Adam say L'Chaim every day like he does in this video
“I’m sorry, Mr and Mrs Peas, but your infant new kid is… [redacted]”
The studio version is certainly the better rendition of let's get retarted.

It's been wiped from the mainframe
Genuinely cannot believe how hardof a gaslight they pulled off scrubbing it from the internet
The original version is readily available. Always has been
I can't believe their performance isn't in 8K
I bob my head like epilepsy to this song till this day. Such a bop.
As a member of the it started community, I feel disrespected
I just realized it’s not “woooohoooo” it’s “cuuu koooo”
There’s not a line that doesn’t insult people. 13 year old me just didn’t understand

@13:00 what about Friday I'm in love? Or does that not count since they have other lyrics besides the days of the week?
That thumbnail tho 😆
You can(not) be RE(S)TAR(T)DED.........
I like the crowd slideshow
Let's be honest, we all hear "retarded" when we hear the radio safe version of this song.
Ok that will i am thumbnail is hilarious af🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yup, am Aussie and if there's two things we love, it's The Black Eyed Peas and using that word.
I love how at 14:51 they’re needlessly headbanging like it’s a Korn concert.
Let's get it started (in 4K)
Got to love the random Fergie "HA, HA, HA" blurbs when they're getting it started.
I actually grew up with "let's get it started," and my 10 year hs reunion is next year, so, yeah, I think it's been a while.
I always thought it was "Transmit hits with no dilution," meaning with really good clarity.
My husband is dying of laughter from this
its cathartic to see adum rip apart this crap that played on repeat in like the worst years of my life (middle school)
My favorite version of the song!

Most countries in Europe wouldn't care either.

Is Adam extremely loud compared to the video? Any time he starts watching I turn it up, then he starts talking and BOOM it's super loud lmao
9:37 i choked 💀
