** 'Boom Boom Pow' features the line "I'm so 2008/You're so two-thousand and late" from Fergie, but while the single was recorded in 2008 it wouldn't be released until March of 2009, making ''Fergie'' "two-thousand and late".

The latter of the two was the subject of a lawsuit that began even several years before the song's release due to the sample being used without authorization.

* ValuesDissonance: "Let's Get Retarded" was just about acceptable enough in the early 00s that although it had no chance of getting on radio, it didn't get too much backlash after they changed the title. If a band had released a song with that title these days, their career would die overnight.
