Black Eyed Peas' "Let's Get It Started" was such an instant hit. However, little did fans know that the group quietly changed the lyrics of the "Elephunk" track after it contained an insensitive word.
The chorus initially read, "Let's get retarded," but they changed it into the song's title. The classic 2003 tune was re-recorded in the following year with new lyrics as it would be used in NBA Playoff commercials.
