I meant that you could search YouTube using the names of the videos seen on the Launch page for reference… 😉

[Fergie](http://web.starmagazine.com/images/star/208399/49368.jpg) has had serious work done (and I mean _serious work_ done). It’s no wonder she looks a little odd.

> Well, some of the songs penned by Will.i.am – “Union”, “They Don’t Want Music”, “Going Gone”-- do seem to have significantly more social consciousness and musicality than the other obvious club stuff, like “My Humps.” Will.i.am’s producing is overall tight and getting better – his collaboration with Sergio Mendes’ work this year was slamming. I’m a fan of the BEP’s stuff.

Me too, actually, usually. But this song has some kind of Insanity Frequency built in or something. I think I actually hate it more because of their other work.

This cracked me the hell up and I don’t even know who Lythgoe is.

She’s got a body to die for and a face that can kill (or turn one to stone). As stated in a previous thread, she’s the reason “Dark” (or paper bags) were invented.

I dunno, she’s kinda got this young Kirstie Alley thing going on in the face.

On another note, one of the guys in the group is doing something toward the end of the video - he’s wearing the tank top and making intricate motions with his fingers in front of his chest. Is this some kind of dancing, and is there a name for it?

I managed to find remix that’s more tolerable than the standard version and have added it to the playlist for the next time we have a party at work.

I think she’s also a recovering meth addict, and that takes it’s toll on you as well.

I hate hate hate hate hate that song!!!

It’s disgusting and nasty and insuting to me as a woman.

Please someone point me to a cite saying that it is mocking or a joke… but I doubt it is. Even if it was, the thousands of adolescents, teens and young adults who love this song don’t know it… and they will think that it’s OK to think/behave that way.

I think “my humps, my lovely lady lumps”, is the perhaps the worst single line of lyrics I have ever heard.

Back to the OP, I started to like this song a lot more after I realized how much worse it could get when I heard a radio commercial for “My Space, My space my space my space! Checkitout!”

Y’all remember how “let’s get retarded” got turned into “let’s get started”?

A song that made fun of the whole “gotta get drunk/high to have fun” idea (not that the BEPs are beggar nuns, but hey, humor’s free) got turned into a hymn selling that same idea in order to be PC enough for MTV.

The original lyrics had told me the BEPs had sackfuls of irony in the pantry; the second version told me they’re perfectly happy to do whatever it takes to sell.

Fergie is the fore-running Butterface of entertainment. How exactly she got Josh Duhamel is waaaayy beyond me.

Girl is homely. Body’s okay, if you can get past the pissing herself stuff. But man, you’d totally have to bag the face. Or do from behind. Yuck.

Oh, come _on_. RHPS is blatant satire of practically everything under the sun, including bad musicals. I’ve yet to see anyone in this thread suggest Humps as a satire.
