First released: 2004 (year verified)
Original single: Let's Get It Started
Original 2004 Spike Mix vocal recording
MusicAtlas editorial note: The bass figure and sharply cued vocal exchanges give the track a direct call-and-response shape.
Annual version match under reviewThe selected recording has release evidence, but its version has not been matched to the retained annual entry. It is omitted from Beyond the yearly lists until this match is resolved.

First released: 2004 (year verified)
The original 2004 single program identifies the Spike Mix separately from the earlier 2003 vocal title. Its later insertion into Elephunk does not move this recording back to 2003.
