"Shut Up" is a song by the American hip hop band Black Eyed Peas. The 2003 single is the second one taken from their 2003 album Elephunk. It is about a disastrous courtship with the chorus consisting of the lines "shut up, just shut up shut up". However, the diction is such that the piece has been nicknamed "The Sham Sham Song." The song was not released as a single in US due to the suceess of "Where is the Love?", but recieved massive airplay though.
[edit] Trivia
- The music video has several André the Giant Has a Posse-style posters near the stage man.
- Will.i.am needed a good female singer for the song, so he brought in Fergie. She helped out in most of the songs in "Elephunk" and eventually became the fourth member of the Black Eyed Peas in 2003.
- While Will, Apl.de.ap, and Taboo were making the song, their girlfriends' phone calls would interrupt the session. Will said "The vibe was blown" and Taboo said "So we turned the negative into positive", by adding the problems they were having into the song they were making.
