The lyric "shake it like a Polaroid picture", along with the song's commercial success, helped to temporarily revitalize the Polaroid Corporation, which had declared bankruptcy in 2001. Because modern Polaroid film is sealed behind a clear plastic window, casually waving the picture has no effect on the film's development. Vigorously shaking the film may actually distort the image by causing the film to separate prematurely and creating blobs in the final image.<ref>{{cite news | url=http://www.cnn.com/2004/TECH/ptech/02/17/polaroid.warns.reut/index.html | title=Polaroid warns buyers not to 'shake it' | publisher=CNN.
