ubiquitous pop songs always drop off the radar in the subsequent year or two. in this case i'm very glad of that. doubtless it'll eventually return as a staple though, sigh

yeah this turned out not to really have staying power. especially compared to, like, "Single Ladies," which came out about 6 months earlier.

i feel like it's remained really influential on pop music, though. there's still at least a few "I Gotta Feeling" soundalike major label singles every year, and I feel like it kicked off the whole wave of 'wistful party song' type hits like "We Can't Stop."

Sorry, what's wistful about I Gotta Feeling?

The comparison with "Celebration" is apt. And I love both songs, and hope and plan to hear both at my son's bar mitzvah someday!― Guayaquil (eephus!), Thursday, July 29, 2010 7:53 PM (nine years ago) bookmarkflaglink

Congratulations! I genuinely miss the days of ubiquitous Black Eyed Peas. Just learned that they went back to their roots two years ago and made a political rap album, accompanied by a sci-fi Marvel comic about the crack epidemic?

Ritmo (Bad Boys for life)" by The Black Eyed Peas with J Balvin is #1 on Billboard's Hot Latin chart. Eh, not that impressive. Not good.

Holy crap, my kids and I were cracking up playing this in the car just last week. One didn't believe me that a singer actually says "l'chaim!" My theory is they wrote this *specifically* for bar and bat mitzvahs, after spending time in Hollywood and hearing about all the big paychecks peers had been getting for private performances.
