My Humps

"My Humps" is the third single from The Black Eyed Peas' fourth album Monkey Business. It is notable for creating a strong polarized reaction in pop culture- critics have lambasted its insipid lyrics and vulgar content, while others appreciate the fact that it is the epitome of dance music. Released in 2005, the single reached a position of #3 in the USA becoming The Black Eyed Peas' third Top 10 single on the U.S. mainstream radio charts. The single also reached #3 in the U.K. Top 40 making it their sixth Top 10 single. The song is most known as the most successful unsolicited single in history. It was not promoted as a single ("Don't Lie" was released in its place), but since radio programmers and consumers were not pleased with "Don't Lie", they began to play and download "My Humps" instead. As the song had not been officially promoted, it became labeled as a runaway hit.

Song information

The song was co-written and produced by will.i.am, and interpolates Sexual Harrasment's "I Need A Freak". In this sexual number, a woman (in this case, Fergie) uses her breasts and her buttocks as tools to get guys to spend money on her. The song refers to "humps", as in one's rear end, and "lumps", as in a woman's breasts.

The song has a similar structure and instruments from Kelis' song, "Milkshake". Although it wasn't based on it, the song and "Milkshake" have similar topics and music.

Music video

Following the song's popularity, several videos were placed on file-sharing servers claiming to be the video for the song. These files were actually clips of pornography. The official music video for "My Humps" premiered on TRL and shows Fergie dancing with backup dancers as images of expensive items such as Louis Vuitton purses and jewelry appear on the screen. Apl.de.ap, Taboo and will.i.am sing about how much they spend on Fergie as she sings about her "lovely" body parts such as her "lumps" and "humps". There are also scenes where Fergie seductively moves in front of a car as a prop. This video shows more scenes and has more lyrics for Fergie than any other video the Black Eyed Peas have done. The video also contains Hootie & The Blowfish frontman Darius Rucker.
