Wow... I had to listen to the original because I hadn't heard this before... that guy made this song GOOD!  big_smile  Thanks Selso for sharing!!

Art and beauty are in the eyes of the beholder.
What constitutes excellent music is in the ears of the listener.

Re: hey ya

It's Mat Weddle of the band Obadiah Parker (not that that means anything -- right now, anyway).

That is a GREAT version of the song, and it was used as the basis for a cover in a Scrubs episode by Sam Lloyd (Ted the lawyer, if you're familar with the show).
