The music video for "Pump It" was filmed in November 2005 in Los Angeles, California[2] and features The Black Eyed Peas competing and fighting with a gang of unidentified people in a parking garage. The video features a modified Honda Civic Hybrid customized with metallic paint with Black Eyed Peas graphics; the vehicle was later given away in sweepstakes during the 2006 Honda Civic Tour.[3] Some of the vehicle actual driving in the parking lot was CGI, since actually driving in the manner portrayed in the clip was too dangerous and costly for a music video production. Further CGI was required during the soccer ball (clearly visible at 2:07 in the official video) kicking scene in the middle of the video. To enhance the fighting scenes some cord pulling stunts were required.
This song is about turning up the music, dancing, going crazy and just doing your thing. It's a common theme for the Black Eyed Peas. The music is based on Dick Dale's version of the song "Miserlou," which was featured in the Quentin Tarantino movie Pulp Fiction. Will.I.Am: "I was in Brazil doing some CD shopping. I came across this compilation 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, 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." >>
