THE 1000 BEST SONGS IN THE WORLD EVER.
234-The Black Eyed Peas-I Gotta Feeling.
2009-Number 1 single.
Best Bit-At 3.45.Will.i.am appears to have acquired two Saturday’s,he might have taken one from The Diary Of Horace Wimp,because he hasn’t got any.
‘I Gotta Feeling’ was the second single released from The Black Eyed Peas fifth Album ‘The E.N.D,’all of the bands members are credited as songwriters along with the songs producer David Guetta(see also best songs 909 and 260.)
On release it entered the Billboard chart at Number 2 behind the bands previous release ‘Boom Boom Pow'(see best songs 899) making the Black Eyed Peas only the eleventh act to have the top two songs on the chart simultaneously.’Boom Boom Pow’ would spend twelve weeks at Number 1 before ‘I Gotta Feeling’ would take over for a further fourteen.
‘I Gotta Feeling’ is the biggest selling song worldwide in the first decade of the 21st Century.In the UK it is the 45th biggest selling song of all time.
There is a bit Yiddish in the song as Will.i.am sings ‘Fill up my cup…Mazel Tov,’ when he repeats it a second time Fergie replies ‘L’chaim.’ ‘Mazel Tov’ is a Hebrew expression of good cheer often used as a kind of toast to congratulate someone.’L’chaim is more esoteric,meaning ‘to life,’ it is also a traditional Hebrew toast.
‘Tonight’s the night let’s live it up,I got my money let’s spend it up.’
