[ovechkinisbest08]

delas si kozyyyyyyyyyyyy? mas 57k views asi udelam naky videa na muj yt chanel z wowka a upgradu na muj pc atd,,

[ryudokun18]

This is actually the original song.. The video is just mis-synced..

If you would listen to their lyrics, u would notice that ''lets get retarded'' fits way better than ''lets get it started''. It is as shadowsenshi already said, they got trouble for the lyrics (god knows why) so they remixed it to ''lets get it started'' for radio & television.

[DarkDuncanWolf]

Let's get retarded~

[Peace4CM]

Funny song LOL

[dmncg1234567890]

This is just a fan vid they dubbed the word retarded over it started. It isn't the real song

[shadowsenshi]

I'm pretty sure "let get retarded" was the original mix, the BEP caught heat for it and changed it to something more PC

[ganas3]

your right and its of sync its not fan dubbed

[dmncg1234567890]

This is fan dubbed thats why the word retarded sounds out of place

[JCDT8]

haha. so freakkiinnn funnyyyyy.

[tylermaster2]

do you dumb shits not understand that this is a fan mixed vid? pay attention to the beggining

[JimmytheTexan1441]

your a dumb shit, this vid is off sinc, the original song is Lets Get Retarded, they got in trouble so they had to remix it to Lets get it Started, the vid is off sinc with the sound, thats why it looks fake. Do research before you call people dumb shits.

[Xeno92x]

i dont think they mean, lets get a learning disorder in here. Retarded is also slang for drunk, incredibly drunk. So drunk it could be described as retarded. Or maybe just the decision to get that drunk was a stupid or Retarded one.

Anyway i prefer to think of it as to do with getting drunk

[themilkman01001]

do people actually not understand its getting wasted? drunk, high, whatever... not mentally retarded

[darthhanz7]

..or it means getting stupid.

get to it; get stupid.

[Silversquash]

really? thanks for sharing that! 8D

[techdeckman1134]

lets get retarded hahahahhahhhhaahhaahah

[Maxipad44142]

Whats funny is most of the people who *crosses his arms* "dig" the radio version of the song don't even know that the real song was "retarded in here". I too was fooled when Howard was playing the clip I thought he made a parody of that "retarded" (no pun) song.

To me this band appears as follows: All the black males are the jocks and the white female singer is the equipment manager *cough* slut *cough*

[Votkinsk123]

rofl

[259]

Not if you have an eating disorder. That's also something that can't be changed or controlled.

[michael472]

My friend had an eating disorder and turned from fat to muscular :/

[puppyluvr191999]

What the HECK!!!

[daggerman5000]

How is that one line offensive? It's just a description. It's like calling someone fat; it isn't offensive, it's a descriptive word (though that could be interpreted as such if used in an offensive way)

If the line was "flip out like some idiot on mdma" it wouldn't be as catchy but no one would blah about offensive... again, that's just a description. We all know what happens during epileptic seizures, and it paints an image for us (isn't that what songs are about?).

[daggerman5000]

I know what a Grand mal seizure is; I'm a year into my internship thanks.

I never said it was funny, and I do agree that it isn't a dance move, but the lyrics encapsulate the movement they want to see - they want you to absolutely flip out and go crazy and lose all control over your body (not in a horrifying sense though).

It's a good analogy and it shouldn't be taken offensively; sadly everything is taken offensively these days (Bah bah rainbow sheep bullshit anyone?).

[missalove2482]

Sucks to be them?

Seriously, it is a lyric and if you find such offense with that one little lyric, do yourself a favor and never listen to music again. Many of everyone's favorite music is full of stereotypes, generalizations and "offensive" lyrics of some kind. If you find fault with them because the "improperly" used the term seizure then don't listen to them. At the very least do the rest of the world a favor and stfu about it if you choose not to do so.

[StrangeAngel03]

Way to jump down my throat. Too bad you didn't take the time to actually read my comments. I DO LIKE THIS SONG! I just think the likening of a seizure to a dance move is offensive. I can't control what I take offense to. I'm sorry you think I should.

And what do you mean "sucks to be them"?? I didn't say that at all, in any way, in any of my comments.

[missalove2482]

No I said that. And if you like them but find them offensive then please do everyone a favor and stfu about your own little existential dualistic conundrum. I said that too.

[StrangeAngel03]

Actually, even the Black Eyed Peas admitted that this song could be offensive and made a censored version called "Let's Get it Started." So what's the problem if I share in that opinion? If the band can admit it, I can also voice that mindset. Thanks for your concern for my "little existenital dualistic conundrum" though. I'm glad you're taking my ecosphere into consideration.

LOLOHASH - thanks for posting this video! :)

[Kazoodude]

GTASACJ666  totally agree

[MegiCZ]

I think their best song ever

[garethoconnellrocks]

jedward out on x factor

[garethoconnellrocks]

it was relly called lets get retaded

but by law thay hat to change it of do not have the song

[rtaubin]

lol that was so funny i hate the black eyed peas!!!!

[butcheredwards]

fuck bra you the retarded one in here rtaubin

[spursfan112]

yep even tho it was caled lets get it started this is the betr 1

[GTASACJ666]

i fuckin hate that fergie bitch screamin in the beginning

[Toxycupcakes]

yah it is

[Nanashi123]

Yes, this is the original version of the song. They changed it because most radio stations wouldn't allow the word retarded, and since changing it to started makes sense in the context of the song and sounds similar, it made sense to change it.

[JacHell666]

i like blazing to this song

[andreasboy40]

no

i don't think so

[b00s95]

:))

[ondrej9393]

yeah

[Dorknoob]

oh shit he talked about breaking necks!

now the wheeled gimps are gonna start protesting too!

[hbkfan7]

if your talking about crippled people, im not protesting. i think its funny!

(im crippled)

[Dorknoob]

obviously this song was changed because some retards got pissed off and complained.

but then why don't stupid people get pissed and complain about the line in the song "lets get stupid"?

or even ignorant people?

listen to the lyrics, you could get really PC and just remove all of the lyrics... or people could just fkin relax and enjoy a lighthearted fun song once in a while without turning everything into a protest.

[DervenDevin]

At the start of the vid the lip sync was terrible xD but its a great song

[legoinstructor]

how to do that?!?!?!?

[CarloMarum]

lol

[0crisy0]

Reminds me on Harold and Kumar!!!

Harold and Kumar is GREAT!!!

einfach nur lol... xD

[EdrisBEP]

The video should be like this but with small changes....

[LadyXeon]

Lol... I <3 my ranty Peas. Their new stuff is a bit toned down, ranty wise. I like their new sound!

[ghanaru]

letz get retarded in here!!!! rofl!!!!

this changed to it started

[KaitaoZa]

who, care'z oi !

hahaha !

[vbrcko]

thet's the music

[takeiteasyplz]

This is the good BEP, they are not so good nowadays, with the new album...sadly...but...thats just my oppinion.

[maxr666]

ncie timing...kidna lol

[DSJby]

hahaha, nice idea!!

[andiamojoe]

The biggest sellouts in hip-hop history, this song is soooo offensive they should be exiled in Haiti....I hate their music and have been boycotting them since this song.

[ThePotatoVlogStuffXO]

dude your gay

[andiamojoe]

you're the one listening to this....you're a moron.

[andiamojoe]

No, in fact I am a fantastic heterosexual lover and I'm real. I'm going to guess that you use the word "retarded" on a daily basis since it doesn't offend you. Keep in mind that people around you may have a disabled family member. It is highly offensive and hurts others. May god bless you man and may you soon see the light. "Retarded" should be stiken from your casual dialogue.

[ThePotatoVlogStuffXO]

im not a jesus twat you prick

[andiamojoe]

you have serious issues brother. I hope that one day u may receive the light in the form of universal goodness, may it be through jesus, buddha, allah, a loved, nature or yourself. You have a long road to conquer your fear, hatred, jealousy, rage and ill regard for thers who suffer. I loathe u today but hope to love you tomorrow.

[feeish]

@andiamjoe You know being passive-aggressive just makes you look like a douche

This so was great how it was (retarded) There is nothing offensive about how it is used.

[andiamojoe]

Oh, thanks for reminding me. I am so worried about what I "look" like to all you youtube black yed peas fans. Pardon me. I'm a total feminine hygiene product. You win feeish and potato face, you guys win. So sorry I offended you with my doucheness. My cousin is mentally challenged you fucking assholes!!!

[takeiteasyplz]

Okay, m8, or what ever.. Good for you etc. but why do the rest of the youtubers have to listen to your stupid online discussions, no one wants to listen to them, go chat with the idiot on MSN or something stupid. Leave youtube ALONE!!QQ...

[andiamojoe]

Take it easy please. Just please take it easy. That's such an oxymoronic statement. Put a cork in it buddy.

[feeish]

@Andiamojoe I was saying if you come off as less of a passive-aggressive asshole then people may take you argument more seriously. And how they are using retarded in this song is not derogatory to mentally handicapped people. I also have a family member who is mentally handicapped he has autism and I was not offended by this song.

[ThePotatoVlogStuffXO]

the fact im not religious means i have issues? LOl!

[andiamojoe]

Mr. Potato Head, i don't care to discuss your spirituality. I just urge you to not use the word "retarded" in casual daily dialogue. It is highly offensive to many. Thank you and have a good day, regardless of your religion.

[ThePotatoVlogStuffXO]

I hope that one day u may receive the light in the form of universal goodness, may it be through jesus,

EXPLAIN THAT THEN JOE!

[andiamojoe]

may it be thru jesus, buddha, nature or yourself....come on man, don't fragment my quotes. U are one of the many people who give belief a bad name. Relax and carry on.

[ThePotatoVlogStuffXO]

I'm not religious knobcheese.

[andiamojoe]

no you're an idiot.....an absolute moron. Please don't argue with someone who is vastly superior to you and your intellect. You're done.

[ThePotatoVlogStuffXO]

then you shouldnt argue with ME!

[ThePotatoVlogStuffXO]

you shouldn't argue with me then?

[andiamojoe]

dude, you need to use proper punctuation. you made a statement and ended it in a question mark. Clearly a sign that you are MORON!

[ThePotatoVlogStuffXO]

PMSL THE DUDE AT 3:05 ON THE LEFT

[tripleh26184]

i first heard this song on the game downhill domination

[NaPossible]

They changed 'retarded' to 'started' because of the obvious.

saying RETARDED is insulting to RETARED people.

this is the original version.

[sophiadancing101]

what 2:15 to 2:26

[AndroidGamer]

no the original song is "lets get retarded"

[fifiwozere]

it makes so much more sense in the original :) even though I'm sure epileptics weren't happy with it even though it is a great line :P "bop your head like epilepsy" lol

[Petrify666]

"In this context, there's no disrespect"

he said it himself.

[94summerbabe]

AWESOME CLIPS YOU'VE MADE! LOVE THE SONG. What video fix program do you use in this ? awesome! Hope to see more videos made by you!

[talkinghorse76]

No, it's alright the way it is: In the original version of the song ("Let's get retarded", the Peas changed it into "Let's get it started" AFTERWARDS) the correct line @ 1:28 definitely is "get started, get stupid".

[Chubbycheeks68]

Does HQ means a better sound because I swear this particular video's sound quality is great!

[lilvin69]

it means high definition so better video

[justoutkabul]

this is the original lyrics

[RyoTakai]

insult to some people.. BLAh... most people say retarded way to much to mean damn near every thing bad "Oh thats retarded" and you can blame those idiots for makeing them change lyrics.. however retarded in english does mean 2 things, one a mental OR physical illness... and origianl meaning what you should use is just crazy(as in how BEP use it in this song, crazy, silly and etc.)

[RyoTakai]

I say the truth and get a thumbs down... wow

[lyzaf]

u get thumbs down coz this place is for retards and i dun know if you realise this or not but your already one of us wohoooooooooo

[Ancientmew2]

they changed it because it may offend people

but its awesome

[Macrute]

What's the point whith this word? Lets get retarded means the same that delay, doesn't it?

[gopurpleppleaters]

no, retarded when used by most people means stupid

if someone's literally retarded, their brain functions more slowly

if you call someone retarded, it's saying theyre not smart

[Macrute]

PS: I'm not an english speaker.

[Noname9000000]

They should have changed 1:28 to 'get retarded, get stupid"

[Eoinposse]

Only favorited because of "retarded".

[missmary7777]

i wish they never changed it D:

lol

[Konstantine9669]

they should've never changed it......

[guineaman56]

Wish I could defy the laws of physics like them. lol

[keyseric]

me too

[guineaman56]

lol

[alexander8162]

a agree way lolohash

[botbagel]

2:24...for those who don't know what doing the strand is...that's a perfect example...love it...loud and sick...let's get 'ignat' let's get hectic....Break it down for us guys!~!

[botbagel]

'Political Correctness' is nothing more than f***ing mind control...Damned if I let the censor 'czar' make me lick his ass...

[bredivil96]

Lol i always thought the "Lets get retarded" was about getting high... and thus they played it in Harold and Kumar :P

[LOLOHASH]

THANK YOU GUYS FOR 20k VIEWS!.

[ehcoblast]

To "get retarded" is actually a slang term for going wild on the dance floor. Yet when people heard this song they thought it was insulting. Thus retarded became started.

[Mosspelt4]

wow ehcoblast just shut up

[JeBorys]

This one is so much better than the edited "let's get it started"

[bramerboy12]

chill lied

[LOLOHASH]

hey guys just enjoy the song dont talk about offensive

[chrisuzwhite]

People who complain about this version of the song are the same people who probably feel uncomfortable telling musicians to perform a ritard in orchestras.

[9417211a]

Best song eva.. when i heard it in harold n kumar i was like lol damn i need that song!!!

[Shox420]

Anyone who finds this song offensive needs to pull out there tampon...seriously.

[Stupidian151]

Go fuck yourself tampon fucker!

[thinoobworld]

its gay that there offended by a fukn song

[thinoobworld]

ye u shouldnt get offended by a song

[GoManUtdsDaBest]

On 2:57 he doesn't say 'get stupid', he says 'get into it'.

[guineaman56]

Ok thanx 4 the correction.

[Samweisgam]

Yes but on 2:58 hes say "get stupid"^^

But I think this version is much better than the castrated version!

[guineaman56]

when they say retarted they mean stupid. 2:57 "Get stupid". they dont mean like handicapped or anythin like dat they mean stupid.

[FalcoXIII]

i heard that song in the movie harold and kumar

and i was laughing about 5 mins.

this is the best version

[pouncytigervideos]

wow this wasnt funny at all.... just stupid

[stinayoo]

in this context: theres no disrespect.

[QhatThF]

verb (used with object)

1. to make slow; delay the development or progress of (an action, process, etc.); hinder or impede.

verb (used without object)

2. to be delayed.

noun

3. a slowing down, diminution, or hindrance, as in a machine.

So offensive! /sarcasm

[keokiracerhalsteren]

LOL @ 1:47

This one is much better than lets get it started, I think this one is more Black Eyed Peas style

[SirLancelot0120]

yea they made that radio edit "let's get it started" because apparently people with water head babies felt offended..

pretty gay if you ask me that people feel so offended by a song..

[keokiracerhalsteren]

I dont see why they could be affended by this song either :O

[76BLADERUNNER]

but one thing that question me around 0:24-0:26 how does he do the twist with only one leg??? that was a awesome move

[ren1088]

oh yeah i remember

[76BLADERUNNER]

i heard this song on harold and kumar go to white castle roflmfao harold was lookin for kumar and then kumar was shavin his pubes in harolds room and also his scizzors too

[princesslizza001]

perhaps the best video ... and song !!!!!!!!

[maxdafield]

Queer they had to change it when rappers now a days say faggot and bitch and all that on their songs and stuff and this song being about getting drunk and silly at parties and stuff had to be remade. Music industry haha?

[fexxi87]

[mufclegend27]

[Supergirlwashere]

PAUSE AT 2:40

[sucker4anthony]

ugh

people are too touchy

and analyze this shit toooomuch

this is an amazinggggggg song beyond belief, :]<3

[terminsane]

who gives a shit if some people find it offensive. Its a fuckin great song.

This isnt 1984, Mr Harrison Bergeron. If you don't like something, DON'T LOOK AT IT. The whole world shouldn't loose out because a handful of people don't agree.

Bag the Beautiful! Lobotomize the Intelligent! EQUALITY FOR EVERYONE!

Fuckin get off my internet.

[Strike86]

Hahaha.

Get this man a medal or something.

[wabajaba]

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH U TERMINSANE

[ElsieVanLeeuwenhoek]

lmao I have a special needs/autistic little brother n he loves this song as much as I do so I dont think its at all offensive really lol

+D x x x

[problemedkitty033]

how is this offensive? exactly what xintv said, they dont mean mentally retarded

[andiamojoe]

oh they don't? they must mean physically then...that makes it better. May god help us all.

[nevyin01]

Cant believe they cant put this song on the radio anymore.

[smurfman95]

i nvr watch the one tht says lets get it started lol this song was playing on the radio o i turned the comp up and blaired it out with the real version ;) stupid pussies think this is offensive..aka radio dj's

[XinTv]

[duduBR97]

lol

[padyd123]

good tunes :)

[RandomLucian]

lmao wtf? (:

[funkeymonkey1129]

this is and amazing song!

[YouTubeMan]

total bboy song

[bradster234567891]

i like this song and lets get it started

[TheOneAndOnlyPivot]

This version is pretty good. I gotta agree with most of the Smart Guys and Gals Here. This Version is much more "Origanal" (No Dip)

but it also sounds a million times better than the editted Version...

Either way.

LET'S GET RETARDED IN HERE...

[kiebfc1]

fckin tune

[kossingaulu]

just an awesome song!

[15demondays15]

I like this one better than the 'lets get it started' one, that one's annoying! i'm glad i don't have it too!

[Raaami]

fergie is amazing in this song !

[dsb75]

Awesome job. So nice to watch the video with the real lyrics.

[FrizzleNizzle777]

crack up for 5 mins

[RichJBrown]

i think Lets get started sounds better

[MabelSRV]

My version of Elephunk only has "Let's Get Retarded" because "Let's Get It Started" didn't exist yet and was added to the disc after the original release (to be PC). I am VERY glad that I only have the original song...not the 'radio edit' too!

[gophababy]

i love lets get retarded other then lets get it started! its just more like the black eyed peas! i wonder if fergie is latino???

[spritbomb989]

looks like they lip snyking but they song is still nice

[crunk4124]

The acapella (the voice on the track) normally set as ''Lets get started'', as been change for ''Lets get retarted'', that's why.

[slinkypred]

actually no, well yes. but no too

the ORIGINAL song was 'let's get it started" but it was also by MC Hammer,

the original version by BEP was what you are hearing now. people got pissy and it was changed to "it started" again for radio play. the video was made to accommodate

[LOLOHASH]

hey ive just downloaded lets get it started clip and put there lets get retarded song cause it has same words it looks like the clip!

[trottingfox]

the sound is off...it must of droped in the upload

[dsb75]

Eveyone lip syncs for videos lol

[xlostxmemoryx01x]

yeah. but this is teh vid for " lets get it started " which... sucks ... haha

[zerojett]

Its the same song... This is the un-edited version...

[xlostxmemoryx01x]

i know.... but " lets get retarded " is way better than " lets get it started "
