Apparently music fans have no problem with ambiguity as the red-hot track has climbed to #1 on the Hot 100 in just three weeks the second fastest ascent in Billboard history. (Amusingly enough it knocked out Nelly Furtado’s not-so-ambiguous “Promiscuous. “)”It’s funny because I’m a singer and this single doesn’t have a lot of singing to it” Fergie said about the song (see. “It’s more of a chanty type of record but it just seemed so obvious that it would be the first single because it was so strong and aggressive… “There’s dub there’s reggae there’s stuff like the Temptations a band that I saw when I was 10 years old in concert. There’s the low rider oldie style that we revisit that I was really inspired by in high school. There’s that punk-rock aspect — that just really raw rock and roll get your hair messed up sweat as much as you want don’t feel pretty onstage — that aspect.

A lesson in rock longevity from the Red Hot Chili Peppers

There’s the rare but quintessential fan who loves all Peppers music – every song every album all the way back to the group’s self-titled debut in 1984. There’s the 21st-century fan – the mainstream consumer who accounts for the platinum success of the Pepper’s new double-CD Stadium Arcadium but has never heard 1987′s fiery breakout The Uplift Mofo Party Plan. Lastly there’s the stubbornly reminiscent Gen-Xer: The 30something who wishes the Peppers had never tugged off those infamous socks. He still rocks to his Peppers mix CD which includes funky blasts from albums up through 1989′s Mother’s Milk – perhaps even 1991′s Blood Sugar Sex Magik – but nothing after.
