This was on the sift before but apparently it is now MIA. good pickup.

choggie is welcome to resubmit his pointless, foul-mouthed rant; I doubt anyone would fault me for discarding it.

Meanwhile, he just sent me this:

"Hey ya fucking tool-spoiled little brattiness aside, go fuck yerself.
Yours, was a reaction to the truth, very fucking predictable from yer type.....You don't get any responses to your post about the goddamn Daily Show, except mine, so you take it out on my post???? Fuck You. Do they grow em all as dickless in Ohio??? Wait. That's not nice to Ohio. You are in Ohio aren't you.

We have been through this before. I have tried to be pleasant, I do not play favorites, and thought you had learned yer lesson.....Grow Up??? Let's a fucking room, and I shall grow you a few years inna few hours......."

Hey ya racist-hating dago, glad to see yer still alive.....from one goomba to another, keep lookin' in that mirror, and being in love......!!! Wish I could spend a month lookin' out at the Tyrrhenian Sea.....you lucky bastard....

I think it's a testament to both the original song and the person covering the song that this guy's Hey Ya is able to hold up to the original despite a completely different sound.
In short...I like them both a lot.

I'm pretty sure this is a dupe, Hex. Can't find the original though (it got a lot of votes - maybe dead).

EDIT: Yeah, Acoustic version of outkast's "hey ya" by Mat Weedle was pronounced dead 7 days ago.

The song starts off like a great soulful acoustic song (I've played it something like this around campfires), but the odd bits, like "hey fellas... shake it" still don't translate well to acoustic.

On an unrelated note, I was in a club in Korea where after the first two verses of Hey Ya it was mixed into the solo from "Shook Me All Night Long." That was brilliant.
