BLACK EYED PEACE

 THE TIME (dirty bit)
"The Time (Dirty Bit)", is a song by American hip hop group The Black Eyed Peas from their sixth studio album, The Beginning. The song was released as the album's lead single on November 5, 2010. The chorus of the song samples "(I've Had) The Time of My Life" from the1987 film Dirty Dancing. The song has peaked at number four on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US, becoming the group's ninth top ten hit. It peaked at number one in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom, while also charting inside the top 10 on most European charts.

Background

After will.i.am tweeted: "Who wants me to drop the new Black Eyed Peas single off The Beginning earlier than we should???"^[2] he posted the song on dipdive.com.^[3] Group memberFergie noted the song's coincidental relation to Dirty Dancing actress Jennifer Grey's appearance on Dancing with the Stars: "... that song reminds me of [Grey] and Dirty Dancing and that whole time".^[4]

Composition

The chorus of "The Time (Dirty Bit)" samples "(I've Had) The Time of My Life", originally performed by Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes in the 1987 film Dirty Dancing.^[5] The song features group members will.i.am, apl.de.ap, and Fergie singing and rapping over a dance and technobeat.^[4][6][7] The song's beat is very similar to that used in Canadian producer and disc jockey deadmau5's work.^[8]

Reception

Critical response

Simon Vozick-Levinson of Entertainment Weekly praised the song's catchiness, but felt it failed to meet the standards of previous singles "Boom Boom Pow" and "I Gotta Feeling".^[9] Franke Previte, who won an Academy Award for co-writing "(I've Had) The Time of My Life", complimented The Black Eyed Peas' sample usage, saying, "It just reconfirms to me that the song is cross-generational. The song has now crossed over to the next generation in a huge way."^[10] Willa Paskin of New York, however, criticized the choice of sample and was disappointed with the chorus, feeling it was "shoehorned into the rest of the song".^[7] Todd Martens of the Los Angeles Times called "The Time (Dirty Bit)" "the most assertive party song of the year".^[11] Digital Spy's Nick Levine gave a review of three stars out of five, disliking the many elements that constituted the song.^[12] The Independent's Simon Price also criticized the sampling on the track, calling it a low quality attempt to satisfy listeners.^[13]

Comparisons to Deadmau5

Critics also noted similarities between "The Time (Dirty Bit)" and works by record producer Deadmau5.^[8] The record producer spoke of the similarities through his official Facebook account. He likened the Black Eyed Peas song to the remix of "You and I" by Medina, a song he produced. "I so know that highat... and the pattern it was in... so I went to my masters folder, cracked open my instrumental mix of 'You and I' remix thing I did for Medina... and there it was again, staring me in the face". The producer stated he welcomed the usage of sampling inelectronic music, "This isn't calling the Black Eyed Peas out at all. This is just another interesting factoid I keep finding about sampling and electronic music".^[8]

Commercial performance

"The Time (The Dirty Bit)" debuted on the Canadian Hot 100 at number eighty-seven the week of November 5, 2010.^[14] The song also debuted at number forty on the Billboard Pop Songs chart the next week and has currently peaked at number nineteen.^[15] Two weeks later, the song climbed to number one in Canada, the third time the group has achieved this, selling 31,000 downloads that week.^[16] The song debuted at the top position on the UK Dance Chart as well as number two in New Zealand.^[17][18] While the song debuted at number ten in Australia, it reached number one in its second week.^[19] On the singles chart for Ireland and the Netherlands the song has peaked within the top ten.^[20][21] In the United Kingdom, "The Time (Dirty Bit)" climbed 5 places on the UK Singles Chart on December 12, 2010, from its previous highest peak (number 6) to number 1, beating "Whip My Hair" by Willow Smith. In Germany, the song debuted at No. 7 and reached No. 2 in its 3rd week on the German Singles Chart, where it stayed for 3 consecutive weeks. In its 6th week on that chart, it finally reached No. 1, breaking the 12-week run of Israel Kamakawiwo'ole's "Over The Rainbow".^[22][23] In February 2011, the single was certificated Platinum in Germany for 300,000 copies sold, making it their third single to do so (following Shut Up and I Gotta Feeling).^[24] After 4 weeks at the top, the song went down to No. 4, making it the biggest fall from the pole position since Mehrzad Marashi did so with his single Don't Believe in May 2010.^[22][25]

As of January 2011, the single sold 2 million copies in the US, making it the group's seventh to do so.^[26]

Music video

The music video for "The Time (Dirty Bit)" was released on November 23, 2010 and was directed by Rich Lee, who had previously directed the video for "Rock That Body" and "Imma Be". It opens with a zoom-in to a city street where, as will.i.am sings the beginning, his head voxelizes and transforms into a television screen where Fergie is projected during her solo. The video then cuts to sweaty dancers at an underground nightclub, who, along with the Peas, also variously become voxelized throughout the song. The avatars seen on the cover of the new album 'The Beginning' appear as posters, and the BlackBerry PlayBook appears as pre-release product placement, seen animating them in an augumented reality application and making special effects in this video. The animated versions of the band members are in this order: will.i.am, Fergie, apl.de.ap andTaboo.^[27][28]

Live performances

The Black Eyed Peas performed "The Time (Dirty Bit)" at the American Music Awards of 2010 on November 21. Each member wore a futuristic outfit and started off enclosed in a glow-in-the-dark yellow box chamber similar to an elevator, accompanied by dancers with boxes as heads.^[11][29] Martens gave it grade of C+, calling it the "oddest set of the night".^[11] During the performance, Fergie experienced some trouble when the door to her box remained stuck for a moment.^[30] On December 5, the group performed the single live during the semi-final results of season 7 of the British TV singing competition The X Factor. They also performed "The Time (Dirty Bit)" at Super Bowl XLV.

Oh, I have the time of my life And I've never felt this way before And I swear this is true And I owe it all to you! Dirty bit! Dirty bit! I came up in here to rock Light a fire, make it hot I don't wanna take no pictures I just wanna take some shots! So come on, let's go! Let's lose control! Let's do it all night! Until we can do it no more! Keep on rocking to the sound Turn it up and watch it pound We gon' rock it to the top, Until the roof come burnin' down Get hot in here The temperature Has got these ladies Getting freakier I got freaky, freaky, baby I was chilling with my ladies I didn't come to get boogie I came here to get crazy! I was born to get wild! That's my style! If you didn't know that, Well, baby, now you know now Cause I'm Havin'! A good time! With you! I'm tellin' you! http://www.elyricsworld.com/the_dirty_bit_lyrics_black_eyed_peas.html Chorus: (x1) Dirty bit! Dirty bit! All these girls they like my swagger They call me Mick Jagger I've been rolling like a stoned Jet-setter, jet-lagger We ain't messin' with no maggots Messing with the baddest Chicks in the club, Honey, what's up? Mirror, mirror on the wall Who's the baddest of them all? It's gotta be the apl I'm the mack daddy, y'all Haters better step back! Ladies don't load your act I'm the party application, Rock it just like that! This is international Big mega radio smasher! Cause I'm Havin'! A good time with you, I'm telling you! Chorus: (x4) Dirty bit!
