(Newser) – The Black Eyed Peas will be the first non-classic rock act to rock the Super Bowl halftime stage since Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson's 2004 nipple slip performance. "They could have picked anybody," will.i.am tells Rolling Stone. "They could rock a million and get Cheap Trick. I love me some Cheap Trick, those motherf***ers is dope. But it says something that they picked us." In a Black Eyed Peas mood? Click here for a video of the Today staff "performing" their hit "I've Got a Feeling."
