Talking as you do over a half of mild with my peers, we ended up debating the merits of a particular song, and we all came to the same conclusion. What do you think it was.... and do you agree, peoples?

apparently Pennywise covered it at a festival somewhere.

haven't heard it, but i'd appreciate it if anyone had a link to it or something.

i think the original was nothing special by the way, it just got on my nerves.

nearly as much as 'Toxic' by Ms. Spears.

Hey Ya is the bestest pop masterpiece since then yup indeed, but I dont think its surpassed Groove is in the Heart. Maybe me judgement is tainted by history however.....


...cos me fondest memory of said tune is of being invited up to the decks of an ultra hip NYC discoteque in the lower east side. The DJ had lured me over cos he wanted to buy my Fred Perry. They are very rare in the states and seemingly cool for some reason. He had no cash as payment so instead said I could pick the next batch of records to play.....the first one I stuck on was Groove is the Heart....the club went berzerk.....NY hipsters filled the floor with sycopated shape forming dancing......twas a spectacle to behold. The magikal powers of Dee Lite! And this was only only a few years ago....hence a long time after the tune was released proving its fantastic timelessness

Hey Ya is the vilest slice of musical excrement in history.

Seriosly, this song holds the power to make me instantly angry. I htink it's that damn chirpy keyboard bit that does it.

[scottST]

its shit. i hate the fucking vocals, i hate the keyboard bit, i hate outkast and everything to do with them. fucking shite

...And there folks is a line drawn in the sand. If you like a bit of Bon Jovi (although perhaps the whole list was a wee joke, hence the inclusion of Spinal Tap?) jump over there...

[Lester Burnham]

It's delish, as is Deelite, Deelite is naturally superior.
Hey Ya is a fantastic tune... though now I can't help but think of Johnny Lucifer when I here it (he did it at Rock Kareoke on wednesday...)

[Birdman]

every time it come on i cant help but wear a cheesy grin and start prancing around the room like a deranged chicken

im not really into pop but this song has to be amazing! it just beats "Take on me" by Ah-ha

booooong

[psydoll]

Outkast are hip hop visionaries (remember those toys?) and 'Hey Ya' is like the top tier on the top of a wedding cake of musical excellence. Also it's one of the few good songs you're guaranteed to hear in the likes of Ministry, Priory, Espionage etc. for which I am eternally thankful.

The Numpto DJ/Karaoke guy at my work played it 8 times in one night, populist arse, thus putting me off slightly. Album(s) quite good tho
