There's a saying that goes "shut up and enjoy the music"... well this song qualifies for that quote because i believe that was what this song was made for.. to please the ears, that's the reason there are hardly any lyrics, just hooks and a sick a** beat! So for that enjoy it, shut up. lol

Absolute garbage. Big thumbs down. How'd this come up Ingrid Michaelson, I have no idea. Some songs I wish I could thumbs down TWICE. This is one of them.
Yeah Kayla, so I've read - per this song being commercial and her other stuff being quite different. Also can confirm your claim on the meaning of the song. Regardless of all of the above, it's still a great pop song, which I don't think is a bad thing. There's a place for everything.
Oh, and for those who are confused, M.I.A. stated in an interview that this song is about stereotypes some people tend to place on immigrants who come to the United States.
she's not a "one hit wonder". M.I.A. has GREAT albums. Granted, this is about the only song that was "commercial" enough to go mainstream. Her style is unique, if you listened to any of her albums you would realize that none of it is mainstream because it's too "different" for radio. But that doesn't mean she doesn't make amazing music. She's one of my all-time favorites.
I read the comments below - you guys are really basing on Slumdog? Now it wasn't da bomb like the hype machine said it was, but it was a well made film with a story that sucked you in, good music to accent it, and great visuals. Not a classic, but a very good film.
Political commentary on Teabaggerish type fears of floods of scary, super-powerful and yet also street-corner lookin' immigrants entering the US and stealing all our goodness? Possibly? If so, pretty dang inspired.

I never thumbs down or put this song on the shelf.
