The song was nominated at the 52nd Grammy Awards for Best Dance Recording and won Best Short Form Music Video. ''Rolling Stone'' ranked the song number 14 on their Best 25 Songs of 2009 list. As of June 2015, the music video has over 180 million views on YouTube, becoming the group's second most viewed video, first being "The Time (Dirty Bit)". ==Song context and formation== The song opens with will.i.am meditating on and affirming a new, futuristic sound for himself and the rest of the Peas: "I got that rock-and-roll, that future flow". Fergie, Taboo, and apl.de.ap each offer a variation on this theme, after which Will.i.am (introduced by Fergie) demonstrates the theme at work in a series of rapid-fire raps, punctuated with digital effects. The song concludes with Fergie repeating her initial verse, forming an outro of sorts and taking the listener more or less full-circle. Fergie has commented on the unusual structure of the song, stating: The song also attempts a futuristic quality, with Fergie rapping the lyric "I'm so three thousand and eight, you so two thousand and late." The song's beat is influenced by 1980's electro song "Planet Rock". Will.i.am stated that the lyric helped inspire the futuristic concept of the video. Will.i.am also stated on the ''Merrick and Rosso'' breakfast radio show that the song was heavily influenced by the electro sounds he heard in the nightclubs in Sydney, Australia, during the filming of ''X-Men Origins: Wolverine'' and his visit to Australia.〔(Boom Pow-Making the Video ) Dipdive.com.
