"Pump It" is a song by The Black Eyed Peas that heavily incorporates music from the Dick Dale version of the song "Misirlou", known by many for being featured in the Quentin Tarantino movie Pulp Fiction. "Misirlou" is a popular folk song of Greek origin, originally performed by the Michalis Patrinos rebetiko band in Athens, Greece 1927; but Nicholas Roubanis, who accredited himself as writer in a jazz version he recorded, was given writing credit on "Pump It." This was released as the fourth single from The Black Eyed Peas's 2005 album Monkey Business. The song was also featured in commercial spots for Best Buy in 2005 and Big Momma's House 2, Cars and Pepsi in 2006, as well as the main music during the pre-game of Edmonton Oilers home games during their 2006 playoff run. Dick Dale has been known to attempt to sing the chorus when playing "Misirlou" live. There is a remix by Travis Barker. This song was remixed for The Black Eyed Peas' fifth studio album The E.N.D. as "Pump It Harder." The song was used as the soundtrack for the opening credits of the 2007 French film Taxi 4 and was also included in the film's soundtrack album. The instrumentals for the song were used as the theme song for Gordon Ramsay's American reality show Kitchen Nightmares.

Origins

"I was in Brazil doing some CD shopping," The Black Eyed Peas member will.i.am recalls. "I came across this compilation [disk] and I thought it was one thing but it turned out to be something else. The Dick Dale song Miserlou was on it. At first, I was angry this isn't what I wanted to buy," he laughs. "But then, really, that song is hot. I said, 'We should do a song like this.' I jump-started the computer and made some beats on the train. Then we had to fly to Tokyo and I tightened up the beat on the plane. Then I recorded vocals in this park in Tokyo, and that's how we recorded the song 'Pump It'."^[1]

Music video

The music video for Pump It features The Black Eyed Peas in an indoor arena with a group of other people. Here they go crazy with scenes of street dancing, road rage as well as getting drunk. The video has a "drunk at a party" theme with a Fight Club Demeanour. In addition, two Honda Civic Si models, one sedan and one coupe, are featured.

Chart performance

Before the single was officially released, the song peaked at #82 on the Billboard Hot 100 in June 2005. This was mainly based on digital download strength due to exposure in the Best Buy ads. After its official airplay release, it peaked at #18 in March 2006. The single was released to stores in the US on February 14, 2006 and in the UK on March 13, 2006. This single, compared to other singles from Monkey Business, has been relatively weak on the US Charts, being the lowest ranking single from the album. One probable factor of this is that it was released after The Pussycat Dolls single "Beep" was released, which has vocals from Will.I.Am, or that My Humps was still in rotation and on the charts when it was released. As of April, 2009, the song has so far sold 1,390,000 digital downloads in the United States.^[2] The song performed better in other countries. In Australia, the song peaked at #6. The song was also popular in the UK, becoming their 8th hit single there. "Pump It" peaked at #3 on the UK Singles Chart, matching the chart success of previous single "My Humps".
