I HAVE A BIG DICK AND I KNOW IT!
"'''Sexy and I Know It'''" is a hit song by American duo [[LMFAO (group)|LMFAO]] from their second studio album, ''[[Sorry for Party Rocking]]''. It was released as the third single from the album on September 16, 2011. The song was written by Stefan Kendal Gordy, [[GoonRock]], Erin Beck, George M. Robertson and Kenneth Oliver, and it was produced by Party Rock. The song hit number one on the [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]] on January 7, 2012<ref>http://www.billboard.com/#/charts/hot-100?chartDate=2012-01-07</ref> and remained there for two weeks.<ref>http://www.billboard.com/#/charts/hot-100?chartDate=2012-01-14</ref> The song became the group's second number one hit on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States, making them the first duo to have two successive number-one singles since [[OutKast]]'s "[[Hey Ya!]]" (2003) and "[[The Way You Move]]" (2004).<ref name="hot100"/> The song also reached number one in Australia, Canada and New Zealand, and charted within the top 10 in nearly every country in which it charted. The song was featured in the [[Gossip Girl (season 5)|season 5]], episode 12 of ''[[Gossip Girl]]''.<ref>{{cite web|title=Gossip Girl Music - Season 5, Episode 12|url=http://www.cwtv.com/music/gossip-girl|publisher=The CW|accessdate=January 27, 2012}}</ref> and episode "[[The Spanish Teacher]]" in [[Glee (season 3)|''Glee'']].

==Music video==
The music video for "Sexy and I Know It" was filmed in Venice, California, and uploaded on LMFAO's [[YouTube]] channel on September 16, 2011.<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyx6JDQCslE</ref> Like the song, it is intended as a parody,{{Citation needed|date=December 2011}} and features Redfoo and a group of men including Hok from [[Quest Crew]], The Shuffle Bot, and Q dancing around town in [[Swim briefs|Speedos]] in front of women. In several scenes it shows Redfoo lifting weights. [[Chelsea Korka (singer)|Chelsea Korka]], [[Ron Jeremy]], [[Wilmer Valderrama]], [[Alistair Overeem]], [[Victor Kim]], Steve Terada, Jamie Foxx, [[Lola Blanc]], [[Ryan Conferido]], [[Hokuto "Hok" Konishi]], [[Roseanne Barr]], Ryan Feng of [[Quest Crew]], Darren Mabee, Darla George, and [[Simon Rex]] all have cameos in the video. One of the more memorable scenes is that of Redfoo, Q, the Shuffle Bot, and members of Quest Crew having a "wiggle off" with the "@SkysNuts" group. After the wiggle off, it shows Redfoo taking off his speedo with another one under it and SkyBlu getting a baseball bat and trying to hit Redfoo with it. After that, a variety of people from throughout the video are seen walking down a table surrounded by a crowd doing various things, along with people taking off their pants, dancing, and a man shaking his [[abdomen]]. The music video on YouTube was flagged for sexual content.

The final shot of the video pays homage to the final shot of [[Michael Jackson]]'s "[[Thriller (song)|Thriller]]" video: it shows the Shuffle Bot leaving with the girls while it turns its head towards the camera behind it and the image freezes.
