Today, November 10, 2004, is the first anniversary of ther release of Outkast’s biggest single, Hey Ya!, in the UK. While the clever pop magazine Pop Justice hails the song as one of the greatest singles of 2003, they’ve had enough. They’ve posted a page titled ENOUGH IS ENOUGH and are asking all you Beyonces and Lucy Lius and babydolls to get off the floor. They’re asking people to stop dancing to Hey Ya.
I think they will meet with very little success. The song’s riff (build
on top on an infection G – C – D – Em progression) is so catchy that
people will dance and sing to even my (necessarily pared down)
accordion rendition.

Is there audio/video available online of your “Hey Ya!” cover?
Eldon told me, there is a time to shoot life from behind your camera and there is a time to live life.
On Saturday I lived it a little, I danced to Hey Ya at your party. Me surround by three very beautiful women.
Eldon, eat your heart out đ
Not yet.
A very important lesson.
My getting married and Eldon’s dispensing sage advice should be considered to be two of the Seven Signs of the Apocalypse!
Eldon did give me the advice that I should chase after women at your party because of the accent and because I had a hotel room…
He also told me that it wouldn’t be a good idea to stroke the raccoons, so it wasn’t all bad.
