My Humps was released by the Black Eyed Peas in 2005 as a single from their album Monkey Business. Sung mainly by Fergie with will.i.am responding, it became a major chart hit and later won a Grammy, even though critics debated its silly lyrics. The exaggerated hook made it easy to quote, parody and remix, so short clips kept resurfacing in early video shares and later in meme edits. The spelling mahumps comes from fans typing the title as they hear it, which helped the clip circulate under that name.
