Seriously?
Common Sense says this is really okay, but it has too many swears for 10 and up! there is no edited version except for the video because this song nor the album was Parental Advisory!

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

An awesome song that get's stuck in your head.
I heard this song a few months ago, and it was stuck in my head. The only bad part is that s--- is repeated through the song. other than that great song!

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.

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.

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?

Black Eyed Peas Are Not For Me
It seriously concerns me that others are NOT concerned about the language. It doesn't matter how good a song's beat is if it's cursing. And this word shouldn't be considered fine because it's not one of the worst. People (especially kids) are too desensitized to these things. No one stands up for anything anymore!

Good, but some language
This is a great song to dance to (even played at a dance recital), however it contains several uses of "s--t", so younger kids may wanna hear the radio edit. (it was also the radio edit at dance recital because the children were 3-12)
