Yeah me too, I find it so pretentious to call the song the future of music. The whole thing sounds dated to me, especially the video - half of it looks lit was made about 5 years ago. I can't stand it when artists go out of their way to be futuristic when they're just being current and with all the current references, it's going to sound so dated in a couple of years.

Not that I hate it but it's not as unque or amazing as people are making out.

Im happy they tried something new. If this album doesn't do well, they know this is not their sound.

...and this could go back to #1 in the UK again, if today's midweeks are anything to go by.

I suspected as much after Diversity's performance on BGT, would've liked "Bonkers" to hold on for a few more weeks but I still love this track.

They deleted this from UK Itunes to sell the album more. Thankfully the album version is now climbing due to the single being deleted. The Album versions are at #12 and #89 ;)

No, the other BEP song 'I Gotta Feeling' is #1.
'Boom Boom Pow' is #2.

Even though this song has grown on me more and more, it needs to give other songs a chance! :lol: It's never a surprise what's #1 anymore :lol:

This song is very futuristic sounding and a total differnet sound for BEP, but, I don't think its as groundbreaking or radically different/new as some people make it out to be. Great song to dance and singalong to :D

That said - I prefer the Asher Roth version to the original :D

I heard a really odd radio edit yesterday.
Fergie's vocals are all cut out, and so is the intro. Just beat and the guys' raps. :-? Its shorter and I'm not sure if it was slightly different in one or other parts too.
Anyone else heard this ?
