Hey Mama (no offense Amy)

The next Black Eyed Peas song I looked at off the Elephunk album was "Hey Mama." This again is easily recognizable but it sadly did not pass my grandfather test. However, I decided to look at it anyway since its off a top selling album as well as received tons of radio play.

The song was hard to come up with a climax as it followed a pattern that would suggest multiple climaxes. One of those climaxes occurred at the 2:12 mark where Fergie sings "Common Papa" and it leads into the chorus. However, one could argue that the climax could have occurred right before the other choruses as well. If you guys have extra time, take a listen and let me know what you think. I really wish there was some way we could pool together or even tag the songs we identify, so we can all download them in case others on the blog do not have the CD.

Duration: 214 seconds
Climax: 132 seconds (although you could argue other spots)

214 by 132 equals 1.6212
