Aural Only: Black Eyed Peas

Love them or hate them, the Black Eyed Peas' new song "Boom Boom Pow" won't be going anywhere for a while. The video premiered this weekend, chock full of product placement for the HP Touchsmart. It also serves as a decent reminder that there are other members of the Black Eyed Peas besides Fergie and will.i.am

Speaking of which, Fergie was clearly smoking something when she spoke with VH1 about the video. "The concept of the video is the Peas' birth into the digital afterlife," she said. "So the transformation is us going into a sort of birth or cocoon and coming out the other end as forms of energy. It's a parallel to the music industry. Now everything is downloaded." 

Um, I didn't realize that selling PCs could sound so deep. But at least this Matrix-esque Fergie is better than the one that wets herself.

  1. Wow that was such tremendous product placement! The two times they showed it and one time they mentioned HP was just COMPLETELY OVER THE TOP! I felt like I was watching an HP commercial the ENTIRE time!
    Oh wait, NO I DIDN’T. I wouldn’t have paid attention except for your remarks DeTwitt.
    Why’s Fergie gotta be on something just because you couldn’t comprehend what she said? So I guess brain surgeons and physicists and non gossip bloggers unlike yourself and anyone else who says something that requires just a little bit of thought are all smoking something just because you either can’t or haven’t taken the time to comprehend what they’re saying?
