I think I get the relevance of the title. The Black Eyed Peas Sound like a bunch of 'tards for singing this. I'd rather listen to numa numa. Oh yeah I went there.
@FFTS3LG No, It is a real song, but they had to change it into "Let's Get It Started" Because some people find "Retarded" Offensive. Personally i like "Let's Get Retarded" better.
this is the legit song, they redid a lot of the songs on the album because a lot of critics and parents didnt like the lyrical content. like this song making references to slow people "bob your head like epilepsy" just stupid people bitching for no reason...
@JDCauti0n I went through brain surgery last year because i am epileptic, and could give two shits about what they sing in a song its lyrics. . . Too bad all them Yankees want is money, They'll sue anyone to make a buck Thumbs up to Canadians on here!
@Lilaah01 Nope. The original was "Let's Get retarded". Then the censored version "Let's Get It Started" replaced it. Trust me, I have the original Elephunk CD(got it when it was first released obviously).
you guys know that in this song, the word "retarded" means getting knocked up on drugs, not the mental disability. THAT'S why the video is of the censored version because they didn't want the video to be promoting drug use.
it's highly comical to me in so many ways concerning this...that they had to make a "clean" version for an already clean song just because America's priorities and PC obsessions are whacked out of control...pile that on top of the fact the "clean" remake catapulted this group of ego-maniacs into a level of stardom that causes intellectual America to vomit. It's all too amusing...and it sucks. American wants polished mediocrity.
Since the only difference between this and the "clean" version, or the "original," whatever you wanna call it is that one word, I'd assume it's just padding to fill the song quota of the record. "Let's Get it Started" sounds better in the chorus anyway.
i kno ppl are already bitchin about the word "retarded" but honestly "lets get it started" has to be one of the most retarded things I have ever heard
I prefer the final part of this version than the "Let's Get It Started" one. (from 3min01 until the end).
In the new album they abandoned the RnB and started doïng something more electronic. I don't really like the new album. I hate "Meet Me Halfway"… GOSH! It makes me SICK! And the "I Got A Feeling" song… Aww, so repetitive that is nauseous! It started being played on my country radio stations after more than 5 months in the other countries, so I kind of hate it.
screw you people who cant take a joke. only little pricks would bitch about some little thing like this. This song is a perfect example of people using their freedom of speech. Fuck the FCC.
@TeensAreNotChildren relax, fool..."retarded," in modern use, can connote the idea of "acting crazy, partying, etc."...in the same way that "gay" can simply connote a profoundly uncool action or person
either you are a middle-aged nerd who cannot fathom the idea of certain terms not being taken at face value...or a younger nerd w/ the same problem...you pedantic cock
Let's sell out and change our lyrics when we get media heat! Yeah!
