5.0 out of 5 stars Best Song of The Year, November 17, 2004

This review is from: Let's Get It Started 1 (Audio CD)

In August,I had bought the album "Elephunk", and I thought that "Let's Get It Started", was on there as a hidden bonus track as I had heard. I was wrong. I know that people prefer "Let's Get It Started" over "Let's Get Retarded", because some find the latter offensive. I don't, but I do like the former radio mix better. No because of the language, but because of the music. The radio mix has a mot more percussion thrown in which gives it a lot of punch. It also has additional instruments that are NOT present on the album version. I recommend that you get this single if you have the iriginla version of the "Elephunk" album, for "Let's get It Started" because it is worth it. also the album version is on here, so you can compare the music to the two. Also included is a really good smooth song called "The Way You Make Me Feel", from their other album "Bridging the Gap".

My children really like Let's Get It Started, and the radio versions I've heard they use no profanity. I purchased the Elephunk CD, there is a lot of profanity on that CD, but there is no warning label. There are some of us out here who would like to be warned. Major disappointment. The Peas seem talented enough to make the music without the profane lyrics. You can keep it real and keep it clean at the same time. Not asking for role models, just asking for good music.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Let's Get It Started 1 (Audio CD)

"Let's Get It Started" is a cool dance song with a great beat. Yes, it is true that there is bad language in it, but I THINK you can buy the unexplicit version.

"Let's Get Retarded"? That sounds like a song MAKING FUN of "Let's Get It Started"! I've heard both, and that's definately what it sounds like. Why would Black-Eyed Peas make a joke of themselves like that?

Anyway, I'm personally not a huge Black-Eyed Peas fan. They cuss, and I don't like to have to worry what they're going to say when my parents are around.
