[2000-2004 Best Songs] 
Billboard Top 100, 2003: #12                                                                       

I know what you're thinking: "It took me three years to get this song out of  my head!"

Yes, they played Baby Boy on the radio every 12 seconds of every day from 2003 to 2005. It probably caused some brain damage.

Over the long term, it has staying power. Beyoncé brings her Pop brilliance and her intoxicating voice; Sean Paul is the master of Jamaican Hip-hop (there's a name for it - Dutty?), and the Middle-eastern rhythms offset a chorus that is actually *too* catchy.

Mostly it's a fun song that you can finally add back to your party mix without inducing seizures.
