But with all the champagne-pouring, yacht-sailing, club-going imagery, the duo never took themselves too seriously, each track from "Sexy and I Know It" to the ubiquitous "Party Rock Anthem" more playful than the next. At one point, though, it seemed the excess partying took a toll on the group, who surprisingly announced their hiatus in Thankfully, LMFAO left us with more than enough dance heavy-hitters to cram our party playlists until they return.
Check out Billboard Dance 's top 10 favorites, below. A prime example of LMFAO's affinity for cheeky lyricism, "I Am Not A Whore" is an addictive dance-floor player built off just two lines -- the title, and its mischievous afterthought, "but I like to do it. It's hard to find a party playlist go-to that can pump up a crowd as quickly as "Champagne Showers.
You might recognize this skittering beat and puckish chorus from the opening theme of the drama-filled MTV reality series Jersey Shore. The track's glitchy electronic melody and urging to "to get crazy, get wild" was the perfect soundtrack to match the drunken antics of personalities like Pauly D and Snooki, and it's just as catchy today.
LMFAO brings on beatsmith will. Instead, it's a smirk to rowdy, disruptive party-goers everywhere -- especially those that wake their elderly neighbors, as the track's riot of a music video shows.
Seriously, don't miss this track's vibrant, partly-animated visual, which chronicles a colorful house party filled with stuffed zebras, beer-chugging youngsters, and even a dancing, pajama-clad grandma. LMFAO aren't the first electronic group to pay tribute to the dance music mecca that is Miami in a song, but their ode to the city might be one of the best.
While Redfoo and Sky Blu muse on polka dot bikinis and day drinking Coronas, a squeaky electronic beat chugs steadily along in the background. The track's simplistic lyrics only add to the track's charm -- "I'm In Miami, Bh," is enough said already. Like in our No. With just one word, the duo conveys an infectiously motivational, happy-go-lucky spirit, and it's hard not to sing along to the prideful hook, "every day I see my dream.
Lil Jon 's trademark throaty roar provides the perfect guest spot for this grungy party track, which is about, well, doing shots upon shots. Its riotous music video practically jumps out of the screen, allowing listeners a peek into what looks like the greatest pool party of all time, minus the drawback of what must be the hangover to end all hangovers. We'd be surprised if this song didn't increase shot sales at bars everywhere when it was unleashed in LMFAO's first Hot chart-topper, "Party Rock Anthem," rolls all the group's best elements into one: cheeky humor, the stickiest of lyrics and one hell of a dance club beat.
Actually, it went much further than that and got itself four times platinum. Redfoo returned for a second stint on The X Factor in and new single 'New Thang' was also a chart success, peaking at No. That solo dream was seemingly coming true. In Aus at least. The track suffered a massive backlash for being misogynistic, which wasn't a great look for Redfoo.
Later that year he announced that he wouldn't be returning to The X Factor , and then his next solo single, 'Juicy Wiggle' yeah, us neither , limped into the Australian chart at No. But Redfoo's brush with reality television didn't stop there.
In January , he was one of the celebrities to compete in the 20th season of Dancing with the Stars. Unluckily he was eliminated in the first week. That didn't stop the year-old from finally putting out his debut album Party Rock Mansion earlier this year. Despite the collection featuring a collaboration with Stevie Wonder and a tie-in with the latest Alvin and The Chipmunks movie, it was a commercial flop. It sold copies in its first week on sale in Australia.
Oh and following in the footsteps of Kim Kardashian West, he also has his own brand of emojis — called Foomojis — available on the app store. Of course he continues to gig everywhere too.
As for Skyblu, what's he been up to, we hear you ask? He waited until to finally launch his solo project, releasing two singles titled 'Pop Bottles' and 'Salud'.
The year-old then decided to give his first collection away for free, unveiling nine-track album Rebel Music in July More recently, though, he has come back with new album Chaos to Consciousness which, if Twitter buzz is to be believed, has gone down very well with his fans indeed. Oh and he's now changed the stylisation of his name to 8ky, which is pronounced Sky. I mean My blood!!! You never once called me to ask me how I was recovering, you just kept shuffling every day without me.
I really loved you, I looked up to you man, but the more successful we got, the more you wanted control. And if you thought that maybe they could get over this one day and get the band back together, there was yet another final blow for LMFAO fans.
