I wonder what the world would be like if Will.I.Am had never been born? I’m guessing it would be a much better place. If I were President, and Willie was murdered, I’d give his assailant a full pardon, and a medal of freedom. It seems to be a consensus among people I talk to that the Black-Eyed Peas put on the worst Super Bowl halftime show in history. On the biggest stage the NFL had to offer-they flopped miserably.
And it propelled their hit song “I gotta Feeling” to victory in the Kardashian Regional. They now face Jay Mariotti in The Sports Bank Anti-Bracket Final Four. IGF was a double digit seed and a second-round out in 2010. But this season, they matured and developed into a bonafide #2 seed.
It’s okay if this was “your jam” in spring 2009. But since then every sporting event on earth has played this crappy song, partially sung by a former meth addict who has peed herself on stage.
If you enjoy this song today, and are happy when it’s played at the club/bar/tire shop waiting room, you are being judged!
There are only two groups of people that I feel have a right to get excited and rock out to this shittiest, most over-played and over-rated song in the history of Western Civilization:
1.) bored housewives who never ever leave their home, with a music knowledge base that doesn’t extend beyond the Bare Naked Ladies (another shitty group who appealed to people who actually didn’t like music)
2.) Lame, middle-aged, Caucasian stockbroker type who just don’t know any better, people with the hipness and contemporary social awareness of MacGruber.
How much you like this song proves to me how much your life sucks.
