Leave it to will.i.am and Fergie to figure out the most annoying way to assault our eardrums. On the latest single by The Black Eyed Peas, the so-called “hip-hop” group laces a throbbing electro beat with the Dirty Dancing track “(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life”. Rest assured, Patrick Swayze is rolling over in his grave…
The song goes by the name of “The Time (The Dirty Bit)”, and it will appear on the group’s upcoming album The Beginning. Expect an upcoming music video full of robots or something predictably “futuristic”. Aren’t they, like, the best band ever?
– Dewitt
To listen to “The Time (The Dirty Bit)”, follow the JUMP:
And the hits just keep on coming! The BEP’s are brilliant!
I think I just had the time of my life this morning listening to their new single. I liked the beat although is a silly song, but what I really like BEP is the fact they don’t take themselves seriously. It’s just mindless pop music, so just dance to it.
Very subtle there Dewitt. What’s your disdain for the BEP’s all about? KLF is right. It’s just bubblegum pop. It’s not like they’re claiming to make revolutionary timeless classics. Just listen and enjoy, and if you don’t enjoy, change the station!
couldn’t agree more with Olly.. i too caught your disdain for BEP… but anyway.. diversity rocks!
crap!
Why even post this if you are just goona bash it Dewitt? This track is very well produced. Who cares if its so poppy. I am into Electro and Hard House, and this track hits hard! Very surprising that BEP released it, but its sick!
quite silly.
very long as well…
i think i will like it, but will get tired of it quickly
i like how it already seems to be mixed for a gay club… good dance music.. but i love the black eyed peas no matter what
AMAZING SONG!!!!!!!
Why hate on the bep? Wil i am is an amazing producer. This song is the best song i have heard in months. It is going to be a huge chart topper and club track. It doesnt even have to be remixed. I dance to it as is.
I dont understand this website’s hating of The Black Eyed Peas and Kesha.
This song is AWESOME!!!!!!
this song is sh#t…but don’t judge the Peas by this kind of song. they have some great stuff on their previous projects. i’ll be buying this one just to check them out. Peas and will i am rock!
This tracks is about twelves kinds of awful.
This song is making my dog bark.
Fantastic Tune
The song is not bad. I mean, it’s not “I gotta feeling:, but there are worst things out there playing on the radio. Don’t know why Dewitt has to pick on BEP. Please, don’t become another Perez Hilton, who’s someone who thinks knows everything about music and the industry.
What KLF said. Mindless pop, I like it. It’s made its way onto my playlist with the rest of my bubblegum dance hits and tracks from Les Mills’ body combat mixes.
It’s nice background music when I’m running/jogging/lifting. Good beat, pleasant voices, great dance mix. Lyrics aren’t terribly important, but the few second clips you actually stop to listen to aren’t terrible.
I was prepared to hate it. Instead, I love it. Thanks, Dewitt, for letting me make up my own mind.
I have to admit I love this song.
Why can’t some people enjoy the intelligence that goes into making music – whether it is digital or computer based or acoustic.
This is a great and fun song and sure to be #1 at the clubs!
Not their best but it isn’t as bad as some of the crap you stuck on the top 10. =) They usually produce decent music compared to other main stream groups/artists.
Honestly, I continue to miss their “monkey business” work…I’m most likely not getting this album…the futuristic stuff just…no.
The best thing about this is the chorus they bought. Its still crap, but maybe some people young enough to not know what Dirty Dancing is might buy it and think it’s something its not.
This is brilliantly campy pop trash cheese. Just about anyone could find something to like in there and then just find the rest sarcastic and feel like they’re in on the joke…LMAO
When the first lyric hit I thought I would barf…then I couldn’t help but giggle at the shameless reworking and atari beats.
I’m just glad not to have another miserable rant about a twink or straight gay pornstar in my field of vision!
Awful, awful, awful. I noted on the latest “The Ten” (the music one, not the guy one) NOT to suggest this song and even mention Patrick Swayze rolling in his grave over this.
I don’t hate the BEPs, but the recent stuff they’ve done is so commercial and formulaic
I think this song is amazing. I danced to it all night long at the club on Sat night.
Fantastic club song. You really cannot get better than this when you’re on the dancefloor.
Let’s get this song (when the video comes out) onto the top 10.
