Talk:My Humps

Old stuff
I posted the lyrics...


 * I don't think we're allowed to post lyrics here. So I think they have to go. Sorry OmegaWikipedia 05:41, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

Anyone know who directed the "My humps" video? It looks a whole lot like a Hype Williams music video (the lightning is his trademark?).

Can we PLEASE clean this article up? I don't know what to do, but it's pretty crappy right now. I'll try to clean a bit. 142.151.164.203 06:09, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Why no mention of that bonus song attached to "My Humps" called "So Real"?


 * That is a good idea. I have the album, and it didn't even occur to me that Wikipedia didn't mention "So Real". I will edit it now. -Mike Bags

"So Real" is essentially the end of the album version of My Humps. Agreed? It's just that people keep deleting that!

Link for parody
Has this parody achieved enough popularity to be linked to here considering the real video is not linked or talked about in the article? VarunRajendran

Got rid of some stuff that wasn't exactly needed.--Dess 04:32, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

revert
I got rid of the poorly written, mistype and irrelevant scary movie section, and it was reverted. Why?

fifty-five times?
Correct me if I'm wrong (or ignore me if I'm being pedantic) but I don't think "My hump" is repeated fifty-five times. I did a rough count by ear of how many times I heard the words "hump" or "humps" and I got thirty-six. Perhaps fifty-five refers to a different version of the song, if so, please mention it. I don't have the lyrics, but could someone who does do a quick count?
 * I was the one who added that in there. I got it from an article on "Hollaback Girl" and "My Humps" from AOL Music.  I'll add in the source.

Uncited stuff in criticisms
I've tentatively removed the following section which is currently completely uncited:


 * Others criticize the message of the song as being one that praises the efforts and successes of a "golddigger" in such a way that it encourages women in general to take everything they can from any man who's interested and give absolutely nothing in return. Along with this is the phrase "mix your milk with my cocopuffs", which refers to mammary intercourse. Because of this interpretation, some strip clubs in the U.S. and Canada have banned the song from their entertainers' playlists much in the same way Tina Turner's "Private Dancer" was banned in the 1980s because of that song's suggestive overtones in favor of prostitution.

I've also removed what appeared to be original research which compared part of the melody to part of a famous Dvorak Symphony. At the very least, this uncited material was misplaced in the Criticisms section. --Tony Sidaway 09:18, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Parodies
I've removed the following two paragraphs which to me appear to be assorted bits of webcruft. I have left in the reference to the Alanis Morissette parody,


 * A parody called "MySpace" can be found around the internet. The song is about someone who is addicted to MySpace. It parodies the meaning of the song by having the character, not spending money on a girl or bragging about their 'humps', but spending time on MySpace and bragging about their superiority on the website. The person does so by going on everyday, going straight to the website without even saying hello to their parents after school, uploading as many photos of their dog as possible, etc.


 * The song has been popularized in Singapore after an edit made by mrbrown on August 22 2006 on Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong's rally speech on August 22 2006.  A parody of the song was featured on an episode of MADtv.  It was retitled "My Slump", referring to George W. Bush's slumping approval rating. Two strips of the Cyanide and Happiness webcomic make a reference to the song. Afroman recorded a parody of "My Humps" called "My Chunk" in 2007.

There was a parody on MADtv titled My Slump.--24.49.97.94 02:55, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

The Alanis Morissette wiki page has this citation for the Fergie buttocks cake: Herndon, Jessica. "Fergie Sends Alanis 'Derriere' Cake for 'Humps' Video". People. 11 April 2007. I just don't know how to add it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.198.176.114 (talk) 03:15, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

Jhuk Gaya?
The article reads: The intro is taken from the Indian song "Kisi Ki Jaan Lete Hain" from the film Jhuk Gaya Aasman. Any credible sources? --Gurubrahma 13:31, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

I was wondering that too. I can't find the song on youtube to compare it. The BEP's have taken stuff from Indian songs before so it is possible.71.192.180.148 23:47, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Its not and I deleted it. Its a common 60's intro tune to black and white movies. Its on every audio samples track. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.81.229.176 (talk) 03:12, 29 December 2007 (UTC) Can't anybody protest to the copying done in the telugu movie mantra? http://in.youtube.com/watch?v=riXrbRli8hs&feature=related —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.164.121.161 (talk) 13:57, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

Signature song?
Why is it their signature song? Proof? --Altbau (talk) 17:57, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

Another 'parody'?
Since I feel like the term 'lovely lady lumps' was coined in this song, I found it in another song. 'Lollipop' by Framing Haley. It seemed to parody many of the song elements of hip hop, but the song was done 'hard-rock', or at least emo. It may be worth mentioning.99.101.6.29 (talk) 14:59, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

Genre
As with most other Black Eyed Peas articles, there is a prolific sock repeatedly coming through here to remove any reference to "pop" (and this is quite clearly a pop song) and adding R&B.

R&B is added without a source and pop, clearly and reliably sourced to Billboard, is removed with claims that it is unsourced.

This is a pop song. That is well sourced. This is not R&B. That is not sourced. - Sum mer PhD v2.0 02:21, 23 July 2017 (UTC)

Drag Race lip sync
The song was used for the lip sync on season 13 (episode "Pop! Goes the Queens"), if Drag Race is worth mentioning in the article. Thanks! --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 23:51, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
