Great song, but EXPLICIT lyrics
Well we hear the song on the radio quite a bit when we're driving, and my 3-year-old even starts jammin out, it's got such a contagious, fun, and energetic beat. One problem though, the album version is NOT the one we hear on the radio, and there is no mention of that anywhere. So silly me, I downloaded it and toss it on his MP3 player, and say "Look what we did, Dad". Needless to say, my husband and I were a little, um, "How 'bout we listen to that other nice song about wheels on the bus?!?!?!" Shouldn't there be a warning of some kind in the description or title? Thanks Amazon! (p.s.- afterwards looked for a "radio edit" version, but can't find it. Grrrr)

Explicit Lyrics on This Version
I agree with the initial reviewer in that no where is it mentioned that this version contains lyrics that are inappropriate for children. My kids too grew to like this song from listening to it on the radio so I downloaded it for them and was surprised to hear the slang word for feces mentioned in this version.

Unique Dance Music
Boom-Boom-Pow is the kind of unique dance music that comes along every so often. It has an infectious beat, one that makes you want to get up and start bopping away; throwing your hands and fists into the air to accentuate every Boom Boom Pow sung by the Black Eyed Peas. The song is all about ENERGY, Dance Energy, getting onto the dance floor and letting yourself get into the music, letting yourself get lost in the music. With every beat of the song, your heart, your entire body beats to the beat.

As such, this song, Boom Boom Pow clearly delivers.

The downside: the lyrics do contain a few cuss words. This song is not differentiated into a Radio Edit and an Album Version. You only get one version from Amazon; the explicit version. So Parents, if you're buying this for your young children thinking that you're going to get the Radio Edit version, think again. You're going to get the Explicit Version, with every profanity clearly heard over the heavy beat of the music. What kind of profanities? Just the word we consider to be the profane slang word for excrement, poop, feces, crap, dirt, bowel movement, BM, bum nuggets, caca, crapola, dump, scat, and turd. We all know what it is, so if you don't want your little ones saying it, or repeating it, look elsewhere for the Radio Edit of this song.
