I know I may be late, but this song by The Neptunes is one of the funkiest songs I've heard in years! Does anyone know if remixes exist?
Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου
μηδὲν ὅλως σὺ λυποῦ
πρὸς ὀλίγον ἐστὶ τὸ ζῆν
τὸ τέλος ὁ χρόνος ἀπαιτεῖ.”

Coolest song right now, and a hot video to go with it...I love it!!! But I don't know about the remixes. I would have to do a search on that...

The song is good and it gets you during the first few listens, but like most Neptunes songs after a while it sounds the same. I think people are latching on to this track because they aren't familiar to the Neptunes body of work. It's a good track with a good groove, but they're all interchangable IMO. The Tunes need to switch it up a little bit more.

ROFLMAO!!! falloff But I do think it is a good song. I especially love the breakdown part that sounds like Michael Jackson's "I Can't Help It" (very Stevie Wonder-ish).

I don’t see any 'bitc*es in this video...just two or three young girls, who look like are meeting Pharrel for what is the first time, for a good time??? And since she looks kind of young, he continues to rap to her, until he tells that he’s going to meet her by her window at the end of the video. And besides, she’s adorable! She’s not wearing any scantily clad clothes either. And the cars are not the emphasis in the videos, as it is in others. Also, the blue & yellow filters, or lighting, that is used, as it is in every other video, is nice because it gives the video a soft, dreamy feel that goes with the tone of the song. Pharrel, ofcourse it's obvious he thinks he's a ladies man, but that's okay if he thinks so, even though he's really not, and Jay-Z, on the digital camera, needed a stronger presence in the video because his rap is dynamite. This hip-hop joint is so hot, I forget Pharrel can't really sing...lol. It's just one of my fav’s to watch at this time...Now, want to talk about raunchy videos with cars, 'hos', and some guys being nasty thinking that they're cool? Watch BET uncut.

Not too keen on his singing voice. It gets a bit tiresome to listen to half way through. The falsetto is, well... interesting.

okay, can't argue with you there.

i just can't believe everybody's saying that dude can't sing!? he's one of few that hasn't got that mastered, polished sound, but it still sounds dope. matter of fact it IS dope, cause everybody's bobbing their heads to it. and it's not JUST because of the beat. the lyrics are pretty simple most of the time, but the vocals make 'm sound cool. and just put on the n.e.r.d album and you'll hear that dude does have soul and has a cool and unique way of showing it..

Every time I see him, he's lip-syncing so...but in other words, yes. That’s why I was saying the song goes so well with the video, and why I like it.
