They eventually rocked a body

I've hated every other Black Eyed Peas song. I don't know what about them exactly annoyed me so much, but they're songs always felt derivative and trite. Their songs alwys manage to capture something of the zeitgeist and sound suspiciously like something that was briefly popular last week. Compare 'I got a feeling' to Iglu and Hartley "in this city". This one has many of the same qualities, but somehow gets it right for the first time. When I heard it on the radio I thought it was the new Major Lazer, until I realised that wouldn't be on the radio in drive time. Maybe it's because they vocodered Fergie's voice into Oblivion. It definitely has nothing to do with the video.
