MEDIA SPOTLIGHT: "Boom Boom Pow" by Black Eyed Peas


Just last week our middle school had a dance, and this was one of the songs that someone requested. I must admit that I like this song. I've heard it on the radio while driving in my car, and I've turned up the volume. It is very catchy, the lyrics are not complicated (I can understand them!), and it has a good beat. The video is futuristic, and the group mentions that they're the latest and greatest thing in 3008, and that everyone else is sooo 2008.

The students rushed out onto the dance floor when they heard the opening notes. We heard the clean version at the dance (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KnTlrDbcw). I looked up the video on YouTube, and there were a few curse words in it (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUEXT6Pva9o), and I probably would not have noticed them if I hadn't been deliberately looking for them, and I don't think that the students noticed them either, at least not at the dance!
