Double Shot Song of the Day: Black Eyed Peas - Love You Long Time / Light Up the Night


Every once in awhile I'll give you a double shot Song of the Day and this is one of those days.  Today's featured artist is Black Eyed Peas, and both songs are from their last album, The Beginning.  Neither was a hit by any means, but both tunes have a lot of plays on my iPod.  I'd almost forgotten about them until yesterday, when I came across them on a rarely listened to playlist on my iPod.  Take a listen...



Love You Long Time

Here's a song that I totally forgot about.  It wasn't ever released as a single, but that doesn't mean it's not good!  I liked this one at first listen because the background keyboards is the same melody as the opening to K.C.'s Give It Up.  Only where that one rose up in tempo almost immediately, this one stays at that slower pace, making it a delicious mid tempo groove.  I just love the chorus sung in turn by Fergie and will:

Would you let me love you let me love you long time
Would you let me love you let me love you long time
Would you let me love you let me love you long time
Would you let me love you let me love you long time
Boy I let you love me, let you love me long time
Boy I let you love me, let you love me long time
Boy I let you love me, let you love me long time
Boy I let you love me, let you love me long time
In the Velvet Lounge...

Press play...

Light Up the Night

The second song in our special B.E.P. Songs of the Day is a more up tempo tune that samples Montell Jordan's This Is How We Do It, which was a great dance track all on its own.  Mix those beats with will.i.am's lyrics and you've got a fun, fun song!
