"Get the Party Started" is a 2001 hit single for Pink, taken from her second album M!ssundaztood. It reached number four on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and number two in the UK, where it was narrowly denied the top spot by the posthumous release of George Harrison's "My Sweet Lord". Its music video was nominated at the 2002 MTV Video Music Awards for "Best Pop Video" and won the awards for "Best Female Video" and "Best Dance Video".
In early 2002 Pink teamed up with Bally Total Fitness to promote Bally Total Fitness memberships. The title of the advertising campaign was "Get This Body Started". In early 2002 there were several Bally Total Fitness commercials in the United States that used the Pink song. "Get the Party Started" was covered by Stretch Arm Strong for the Punk Goes Pop compilation album. In 2006 Shirley Bassey covered the song for a Marks & Spencer Christmas television advertisement.[1]
The track was also used extensively by the NBA during the 2002-2003 season. For the Finals, ABC used the song as the introduction music in 2003.
