"My Humps" is the fourth single from The Black Eyed Peas' fourth album Monkey Business. Released in 2005, the single so far has reached a position of #3 in the USA becoming The Black Eyed Peas' fifth Top 10 single on the U.S. mainstream radio charts. The single will be released in the U.K. soon. The song is most known as the most successful unsolicitated 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.
Following this 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.
Song Information
The song was co-written by will.i.am and D. Payton, and produced by will.i.am. "My Humps" features an interpolation of Sexual Harrassment's "I Need A Freak". In this sexual number, a woman (such as Fergie) uses her large breasts and rear end as tools to get guys to spend money on her. As a result, the men (Apl.de.ap, Taboo, and will.i.am.) spend all their money on her to make sure that she will date them. Throughout the song, the words "lump" or "hump" are repeated over 50 times. Despite the fact that the song refers to "little lumps", will.i.am apparently had inspiration for this song when he saw a large breasted girl walking down the street.
Music Video
The music video for "My Humps" premiered on TRL and shows Fergie dancing with backup dancers, touching herself occasionally. 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 the most lyrics for Fergie than in any other video the Black Eyed Peas have done.
