I Gotta Feeling

I'm feeling good with this song; can't help it but makes me dance to its beat! Let's do it!

The first time I heard this song was on the radio on my way to work one day. The beginning is catchy and very much what I like to listen to, but then it got to the middle part, which seems a bit like a cross between rapping and just talking. At that point, I turned off the bleedin' radio.
But, of course, the song kept coming on because it's popular with today's youth, so I kept having to listen to it.
Eventually, it grew on me. So now, I can listen to the whole song and happily whistle the 'Tonight's gonna be a good night' part on my walk into work, without being grumpy about the middle part, which I *still* dislike.

I am a BEP fan. I Gotta Feeling is their most successful single and I have to say I really like it. It invites you to dance and enjoy the night. I gotta feeling that tonight is gonna be a good night.

I downloaded this song for free at Amazon and love it so much I bought the whole cd. I listen to it alot when I need a lift or am workingout.

I don't get it. I just don't get it. I thought music had hit its low with BEP's musical brain aneurysm "Boom Boom Pow". I can autotune myself vomiting and that would be a better song. But then I heard this song.

I looked it up on a lyrics site and was startled at what I read- 12 people wrote this song. Actually I'm amazed. It took 12 people to write lyrics like:

"I've gotta feeling
that tonight's gonna be a good night
that tonight's gonna be a good night
that tonight's gonna be a good, good night"
Which is repeated for roughly 90 seconds before the song even starts. How about:

"Tonight's the night, let's live it up
I got my money, let's spend it up" (yeah, rhyming "Up" and "up")

"Monday, tuesday, wednesday and thursday, friday, saturday, saturday to sunday,
Get get get get get with us, you know what we say-say, party every day
pppparty every day" (We know what the days of the week are. Party every day???)

Or what about the fact that "That tonight's gonna be a good night" is repeated 18 times, "Do it" is repeated 31 times, or the random use of "Mazel tov" or "L'chiam" (Is this that movie "When The Wind Blows" on acid? "When the BEP Blows"?)???

Yeah the beat is pretty catchy, you gotta admit. Though it's catchy the first time you hear it, and then the next 500 times you hear it makes you wanna find the nearest object that can be used as a weapon, and find some way
to use it as means of killing yourself. I'd say "Avoid" but since this drivel is played roughly every 10 minutes, it's really unavoidable.

Poor little state of music.

This is a really fun song. I can't understand people who hate this song. I admit the lyrics are not very creative and it is a bit repetitive but you can't be unhappy when you listen to it. It's a great song that will be played at parties for years to come.

Heard the song and watched the wonderful flash mob on Oprah. Of course had to have this fantastic ditty. Known in some circles as the Mazel Tov song, it's a great dancing song and will be one of those songs that they're playing 40 years from now. I just love it.

Very catchy and makes you want to jump up and down even if you don't know dancing.

I like this positive vibe song from the first time I heard it. Its in my top ten workout songs. Somewhere after Stonefaced by the Swiines. I give it 5 out of 5.

It took me a bit to warm up to this CD but after the 3rd or 4th time I really warmed up to it.
