MOG

That was amusing. Haha. I actually liked it... minus the lyrics. Gosh, I love the sound of that guitar.

thanks jeej! I will go repeat my comment there.

OK, maybe I'm just really out of touch with the pop music scene in the USA, but what's with the freaky quintuplets in that vid?

quintuplets are the new triplets

duh.

Thank god for fertility drugs, eh?

smithco, this is a cover of Outkast's "Hey Ya!", and the video you're watching is the original vid for that song. Featuring a band whose members are all Andre 3000.

That's....wow. Reminds me of a roommate I had in college.

i know right! blecch.

Supersuckers do a way better cover of this song...pop-rock instear of boring guy with guitar. Soulseek for it.

oh, i'm so glad other people agree with me!!!!

jorobot - hot. i will.

can't remember what it sounds like, but Till and the Wall did a cover that I have on my computer at home....

Tilly*

eh needs more cowbell

HA

I don't mind it actually. s'aaight. I saw Twilight Singers earlier this year where Greg Dulli did a loungy version of Roses. "Roses really smell do-do-ooo-ooo"

ps. but i can see where it would get on ur nerves kinda. it's like the iron and wine remake or something...so sullen for such an upbeat song.

kinda good, more cowbell yea, the ending is lame and he seems a bit lonely...

i'm with you on the post...and, i don't think i dig ''mash-ups'' of this or any sort that much.

What is fantra?

"fantra" is when something is really cheesy andit makes you cringe.

mash-ups i can dig, you know? in fact i like 'em a lot. and i'm fine with cover songs. but this style of music is just so.... ugh... like he eats a jar of paste every day for breakfast. not sad, just LAME.

on the other hand, lots of people love it. i know that's my personal taste, but i don't like whiny white-guy ballads. and it's even more offensive that he's playing what used to be a great song, and doing it note-for-note. nuts.

/rant

fantra - cheesy, cringe,....got it. {i gotta find a Berkeley/slang dictionary} Hey ! Maybe this is a job for the mogomatic, in addition to spell chek we could have a music terms slang dictionary add on....just a thought...

If it pisses you off so, why then repost it for others to view? I don't hate it but I do acknowledge it's just a weak cover of a fun song.

I'm an idiot. I just posted about this and now here I am, reading your post about it (from 3 days ago!). I'm so behind the times.

I think if he had put his own stank on it, if you will, it would've been a lot better.

Oh halleluja. Jesshorrible says 'fantra' for the first time on MOG and I am hear to see it.

I don't need to read anything else today. Thank you!

P.S. have fun on le playa.
