There is nothing wrong with this song, Granted it does use the 's' word 5 times in a 4 minute song, but anyone who thinks there is ANYTHING else wrong with the song needs to seriously read the lyrics. And read between the lines to all the references to early 80's music.

The s*** word is explicit - so yes, this song does have explicit lyrics.
I noticed on Apple's Itunes that you can download this song and it doesn't say there are explicit lyrics. Last time I checked, the s*** work was explicit. I contacted a Apple via phone and online requesting this be changed in June 2009. 1 month later (as of July 21, 2009) it still does not indicate song has explicit lyrics. Apple customer service rep even agreed with me that it should be changed.

Too bad it contains filth!
When searching for a download of this single, I have found it nearly impossible to get it edited. When you hear it on the radio, it is great for anyone and kids love it. However, I refuse to accept the word s__t as common and acceptable language, period. There is NO parental advisory, telling me they think it is common and acceptable language. Because of this I will not purchase it from anyone anywhere. The song would be great without the filth, as would many songs you hear on the radio that have to be edited. What is with all of these artists who think you have to include filth to make music?

It's Pretty Good
Not as great as their previous material--Fergie's solo music IMHO is better--but pretty good.

SWEAR ATTACK
this song has lots of swears you don't want your younger kids listening to. But still it's an ok song and is ON for all kids (exsept ones thats say swers a lot) 11 and up.
- I rate this title on for age 11 and give it
Not if you're immature in swearing wise
despite the word sh**t used a bit, unless you look at the lyrics or buy the CD version you can't hear it. Most of the time, it is bleeped out by the dj, or some other sound effect

Off For Ages 10 And Under; Iffy For Ages 11 To 13; On For Ages 14 And Up
Surprisingly, this BEPs song has no racist comments, and there is no sex, but "$#!+" is spat out nine times exactly. Get a clean version or a radio edit or whatever.

It's not bad on the radio because it is clean no S?*_. The CD version has that word. So if you have kids, listen to the radio version or on youtube® Don't buy the CD version. They use S?!# In most of their songs.

Get parental consent if you don't like the "sh" word.
I like this song! The only bad thing in this song is the "sh" word, so if you are age eight or up, then maybe ask your parents to listen to it first. But for anyone under eight, it's probably a no-no.

ALL AGES (IF IT"S CLEAN)
Language is all that's innappropriate (and unnecessary). 1. "that digital spit/next level visual s--t". 2. "they try to copy my swagger/I'm on that next s--t now". 3. "I'm on that supersonic boom/y'all hear that space s--t zoom". 4 & 5. "them girls go apes--t/uh/y'all stuck on super 8 s--t". 6. "s--tin' on y'all with the/boom/boom" (x3). 9. (2. is repeated).
