Pitbull Feat. Shakira - Get It Started


Pitbull's big hit of 2012?

After quite a bit of resistance I am beginning to accept that Pitbull is just a feature of the charts that you just can't avoid.  Some of his raps are just absolute cheese and some are just absolute nonsense, can you recall which recent hits these unique lines are from?

1 "I got it locked up like Lindsay Lohan"
2 "Yeah, right, picture that with a Kodak"
3 "Yabba-dabba-dooo - make her bed rock"
4 "Tiger Woods times Jesse James equals Pitbull all night long"
5 "Mami got an ass like a donkey with a monkey, look like King Kong"
6 "Now pump it up, And back it up like a Tonka truck"

This song is no different as the self-proclaimed 'Mr Worldwide" raps "I went from evictions to food stamps,To back in work, what damn" which makes absolutely no sense to me.  At some points of the song he just resorts to listing random things "Tom Cruise, Mumbai, All it up like 4th of July, Vanilla Sky".  I just don't get it.  However all is not lost we have Shakira to provide us with some hooks in the chorus; combine that with the epic production then this track is an absolute club banger.  Just as I feel that Ne-Yo couldn't quite pull off Give Me Everything by himself; I feel this track wouldn't have been anywhere near as good just being a Shakira solo effort.

My last.fm from the past month would suggest that all I've been listening to is Maroon 5's new album 'Over Exposed' (which is awesome FYI) with 14 out of my 15 most played tracks coming from the album - this was the other track and I am expecting big things from it on charts worldwide.
