dont forget the band and the backup singers they also really good though it had some good ass flow though and dont forget the guy that whistle in the background lol
@@Theohybrid I heard this, though the first time I listened I was like 'um, this is a bit too real for me, help'. Was not prepared for bad feels at all.
Mr. HiBye yes. But he used x's in between, which is also the sign for multiplication. So I took the opportunity to make a joke, and a lame one at that.
Something small I appreciated bout this is that the video wasn't focused on him the whole time. Like the camera went around to the different people who made the song good. A lot of other artists focus their videos on themselves. Just something I noticed and appreciated
But it *is* a giddy song. It's celebrating the shift from unhappy marriages to relationships where people are in love and physically satisfied without feeling they need to get married. "My baby don't mess around because she loves me so, and this I know for sure" This means he's confident in their relationship and feelings for each other, this is completely in earnest and not ironic. "Thank God for Mom and Dad for sticking two together, cause we don't know how" This is saying that previous generations were like guinea pigs, getting married without being in love so the future generations can adapt by *not* doing that. Thanks mom and dad, you don't love each other, so I'll make sure I'll have a relationship where my partner and I do! "Don't want to meet your daddy, just want you in my caddy, don't want to meet you momma, just wanna make you cum-a" and "sex is always better when there's feelings involved" Exactly as it sounds. People are having sex because it feels good, and they enjoy their feelings for each other, but that doesn't mean he wants to commit and meet the parents just yet. Not getting their blessings to marry their daughter, no. Just feelings and sex for now. The lyric "she live in my lap, but who lives in my heart?" appears to be original to this cover and has a melancholy mood the original never was going for.
[Verse 1] My baby don't mess around Because she loves me so And this I know for sure But does she really want it But can't stand to see me Walk out the door? Don't try to fight the feeling Cause the thought alone is killing me right now Thank God for Mom and Dad For sticking through together Cause we don't know how [Hook] Hey ya! Hey ya! Hey ya! Hey ya! [Verse 2] You think you've got it Oh, you think you've got it But "got it" just don't get it When there's nothing at all We get together Oh, we get together But sex is always better When there's feelings involved If what they say is "Nothing is forever" Then what makes, what makes, what makes What makes, what makes, what makes love the exception? So why you why you, why you why you why you Are we so in denial If you know we're not happy here? (Ya'll don't give a damn, ya'll just wanna dance) Yebo! [Hook] [Bridge] She lives in my lap But who lives in my heart? Who lives in? Who's in love? Who survives? Who's in love? [Verse 3] (YEBO!) We rose like a rose from the stone Under fluorescent light Love like glass in the water And we thought it was it was ice Cold like earth when it froze Unforgiven, forgive it for it was dead from the go We kissed under the vultures, confused it for Mistletoe We jumped into the ocean without learning how to float [Outro] (Who survives? Who's in love?)
I watch this at least once a day but usually 3 or more times. I'm so in love with the vibe and the sound... like I can't believe how amazing people are to make this beautiful music.
I bursted into tears just now when hearing this song for the first time in my life. The instant connection I receive listening to Kamauu is incomparable to any-other artist I know. Dear Mr Kamauu, I just stumbled upon your music recently but please accept my sincere appreciation of your ART !!
This is by far the best interpretation i have ever heard or seen in my life. This has to be the one that gets you famous for real!!! I request more interpretations you are flawless when it comes to this category !!! You and chance for the ultimate collab would be out of the world!!!! Your truly a very talented individual and deserve all the credit!!! stay bless my boy!!!
I profoundly appreciate the camera angle of this video. Most likely will go unnoticed by most. It helped me to appreciate the artistry and combination of instruments, rather than worrying about what he looked like
I like this version more in all honesty. Don't get me wrong Andre 3000 is a god among legends... But this... This is what my heart sounds like when I read the lyrics. The way he's able to give life to the pain in the confusion of the words is, I don't even know the correct word but "heavy" comes to mind
There is only one version of Hey Ya that matters and it debuted back in 2003. This video is watered down soul with a bleating goat voice. This won't be served for Sunday dinner anytime soon. Let the classics be, please.
This remix will never get old. I don’t understand how it hasn’t gone viral if only it was on streamings services I enjoy this version more than the original
I love what you do, your voice and your flow are just Incredible! I can't wait to hear more songs from you! You should create a facebook page or something where we could follow you, you are so talented ! Big up from France, I would love to see you on live! (sorry for my approximative english...)
8 years later and I still listen to this cover version more than the original....this version makes me feel the song on such a different level and vibe...truly appreciate and love this style of music! Continue to make people feel things!!🤍🤍🤍
this is the lyrics for the part that isnt in the original: we rose like a rose from a stone under fluorescent lights love like, glass underwater and we thought it was ice cold like, earth when it froze unforgiving for giving for it was there from the go we get stuck to devotion confuse it for mistletoe we jumped into the ocean without learning how to float
I really love this so much! Kamau is exceptionally talented and so is everyone else involved in this. An amazing cover of Outkast's Hey Ya! What a blessing to get to listen to this! Happy Juneteenth and Happy Father's Day to everyone!
Absolute in love with your interpretation of the song, so unique and inspired. I never get tired of the original and now I will never tire of your piece. Thank you💖
You deserve to make it man...your flow, your sound, your lyrics. You have more talent than most rappers in the game right now. I'm tired of all these wack ass Trap rappers rapping about murder and money...you speak of real shit. God bless your career. Drake shouldn't only be the name for Toronto.
Beautiful production and arrangement. I love being surprise by a different approach on something well known. Thank you Kamau, rediscovering this song has been a delight!
So I'm late to this Kamauu party. He opened for BJ The Chicago Kid and he performed this. I was blown away. Now I gotta make up for the 3 years I've haven't listened to this.

I was sold on 'Skeeby bop bo'
Synchronomous what’s that means?
Jessé Sousa just a kind of style of music I’m guessing
As soon as I heard his scat, I subbed. Yesss
Exactly
I was sold by that giggle! 🤭
"She lives in my lap
But who lives in my heart?"
That always hits hard.
my favorite line omg
Same!
He is a true outcast fan out here quoting Idlewild
She sleeps in my bed....
But who lives in my heart....
??
dont forget the band and the backup singers they also really good though it had some good ass flow though and dont forget the guy that whistle in the background lol
Rasta_Mon didn't even listen that deep omg
triigga s Well you gotta keep them ears clean to have good experience with music
Maui No Wyld
Ok, I know I'm late, BUT I DIDN'T NOTICED THE WHISTLE DUDE, TY, THIS IS WAY BETTER NOW
Maui ukojr
his voice is like a big pack of crayolas with the sharpener on the back. the special editions that have like glitter in em
I like this simile.
I just want someone to quote this out of context
Why do I understand this
Such a fitting image. My thoughts exactly.
The utter satisfaction of opening it for the first to color something big. That is this video.
This is a timeless cover of this song. I keep coming back.
Here too bud 🖐 I personally love this more than original
I come back at least a few times a year, I wish it was available on UA-cam music!!
I still here!
@@hayleycraig7250it is 🫶🏽
makes you focus on the lyrics rather than the catchy tune and makes you realize what the song is actually about
Ironically, the catchy tune was supposed to distract you from the lyrics purposely.
@@Theohybrid I heard this, though the first time I listened I was like 'um, this is a bit too real for me, help'. Was not prepared for bad feels at all.
Beautiful way keeping the lyrics at the front of the song with really strong instrumentation
“Well y’all don’t wanna hear me you just wanna dance.”
omg it's almost like Andre 3000 told you that in the fucking lyrics
I love at 2:07 when he says "she lives in my lap but who lives in my heart" 😭
Makia Rose YES!!!
On god
great way to bring to bring in that song my lord
Could that be a small reference from "Andre 3000 - she lives in my lap"?
D34Dinstinct it is
”Sex is always better when there’s feelings involved ”, how he sang that part gave me chills down my spine
3 yrs late to the party but happy to have arrived. This is dope😊✨🎶💛🤘🏽
Same here🥂
Rhys Rhys word 🎂🎊🎉
I’m a new fan too!
same man!
Good I’m not alone, I felt weird commenting years late
It's a crime this isn't on Spotify.
Spotify is 💩
It's on Spotify?
@MrDarthcrossfader the sweater beats remix is but not the raw original
Kamau x Chance The Rapper x Andre3000!
Nah, Andre 3000 + chance the rapper = Kamau lmao
kamau is nice but he's like the square root of chance the rapper divided by Andre. not even close
You guys realize he's saying they should all collaborate right??? He's not comparing them to one another.
Mr. HiBye yes. But he used x's in between, which is also the sign for multiplication. So I took the opportunity to make a joke, and a lame one at that.
Ahhh lol I got ya.
Something small I appreciated bout this is that the video wasn't focused on him the whole time. Like the camera went around to the different people who made the song good. A lot of other artists focus their videos on themselves. Just something I noticed and appreciated
Seeing this video 3 years later...and yes. That's what sold this as one of the greatest music videos I have ever seen.
Agreed. Just discovered this and loved the video
y'all saying chance x kamau but you wont be able to tell who is who .
Just put "Chance x Kamau" in the description and just have Kamau.
More refined chance
Chance don't stand a chance. Kamauu is the philosophers stone.
Disagree, they have you totally different flows.
lmaooooooo
I love this version cause you actually get the intent of the lyrics instead of thinking it’s a happy giddy song.
But it *is* a giddy song.
It's celebrating the shift from unhappy marriages to relationships where people are in love and physically satisfied without feeling they need to get married.
"My baby don't mess around because she loves me so, and this I know for sure"

The lyric "she live in my lap, but who lives in my heart?" appears to be original to this cover and has a melancholy mood the original never was going for.
Over the years I’ve always found myself coming back to this. It’s so beautiful and so well done. It really makes you feel the energy in the room.
You know??? 💯
Move on ... #CityBoysUp
I would give anything to have just been standing in this room while it was being made. amazing energy😍
Me too
Same here
Chance 3000
Give that man an Ultralight Beam.
exactly sounds like both of em

Jackson Lee exactly
Honestly🙌🏾
We keep coming back. Greetings from 2024.
[Verse 1]
My baby don't mess around
Because she loves me so
And this I know for sure
But does she really want it
But can't stand to see me
Walk out the door?
Don't try to fight the feeling
Cause the thought alone is killing me right now
Thank God for Mom and Dad
For sticking through together
Cause we don't know how
[Hook]
Hey ya!
Hey ya!
Hey ya!
Hey ya!
[Verse 2]
You think you've got it
Oh, you think you've got it
But "got it" just don't get it
When there's nothing at all
We get together
Oh, we get together
But sex is always better
When there's feelings involved
If what they say is "Nothing is forever"
Then what makes, what makes, what makes
What makes, what makes, what makes love the exception?
So why you why you, why you why you why you
Are we so in denial
If you know we're not happy here?
(Ya'll don't give a damn, ya'll just wanna dance)
Yebo!
[Hook]
[Bridge]
She lives in my lap
But who lives in my heart?
Who lives in?
Who's in love?
Who survives? Who's in love?
[Verse 3]
(YEBO!)
We rose like a rose from the stone
Under fluorescent light
Love like glass in the water
And we thought it was it was ice
Cold like earth when it froze
Unforgiven, forgive it for it was dead from the go
We kissed under the vultures, confused it for Mistletoe
We jumped into the ocean without learning how to float
[Outro]
(Who survives? Who's in love?)
This isn’t a new song...
ComeAtMeBro he added to it tho
My God i have never payed attention to the lyrics!! This is deep actually! Thank you
Cynthia Kay thanx Cynthia. These lyrics INCLUDING HIS ORIGINAL PART is sooo dope soo real
Yebo!!!
This needs to be on Spotify!
Kamau x Chance the rapper would be godly
Heck yes. if that happened i can die happily
+KAMAU Of The HueMen Keep doing you and I promise it'll happen sooner than you think.
WE ALL GOTTA send this to Chance so he can finally notice this guy!! Such a beautiful voice man!!
Agree, the first thing I thought of when I heard his voice is he sounds exactly like chance
GOODNESS NO! Chance's mixing is garbage. his vocals aren't on his level at all.
Went from "Oh that's Chance" to "Nawl that's Andre" to who is this and why am I three years late
Lmaooooo *reading this 2years later*
😂😂😂
I watch this at least once a day but usually 3 or more times. I'm so in love with the vibe and the sound... like I can't believe how amazing people are to make this beautiful music.
Chill it's a cover, if you like it so much why not thank the guys who actually made the song
It’s great! KAMAUU’s original music is also so great, just recently stumbled upon this cover and great artist and band 👌😭
Just now being recommended, and wow, so good!
It's been 7yrs, Spotify pls
8 now. I’m sayingggggg babyyyyy pleaseeeeee @spotify
I hope I haven't to come back here next year.
KAMAUU can make anything feel like a holy spiritual
7 years late to this party - HOW?? This is Beautiful ❤
Please put this on iTunes or Spotify or something, I'd 100% buy this🔥 thank god for Twitter for bringing me here!!
It's on Spotify mate
This version here (live) is way better than the one that's on Spotify
Dapo Odubela is it on iTunes?
El Dhapo just do UA-cam to MP3 for his edition
I like Spotify version better but maybe it's because I found it there first
I bursted into tears just now when hearing this song for the first time in my life.
The instant connection I receive listening to Kamauu is incomparable to any-other artist I know.
Dear Mr Kamauu, I just stumbled upon your music recently but please accept my sincere appreciation of your ART !!
It urkes me that this good music is on UA-cam only. I love his version of this song so much. 😍
Why am I watching this 3yrs later... UA-cam SUGGESTIONS wtfffff this should’ve popped up A LONG TIME AGOOO
Khalid Mohammed hahaha im with you i just dicovered this wtf hahah

Come back and comment, lets get this on trending
Heavy Chance, Andre, and Anderson vibes. The backup singers, the production. This is so tasty to my ears lol
I will forever enjoy the dude at 2:34 hyping him up, the energy in that room must have been insane
WHY DOES THIS NOT HAVE MORE VIEWS!!!??? WHAT IS EVERYBODY ELSE LISTENING TO!??????

Absolutely, except I like them equally
I love both versions equally but I've honestly never actually paid attention to the lyrics until I listened to this version
i prefer this version depending on my mood

Why does this sound GODLY WITH HEADPHONES 😫😫❤️ thank you for blessing my ears
The grunt before the chorus slaps so hard!!!

Casey affleck killing it with the tambourine
Today is the 5 year anniversary that this interpretation came out! WOW, its still amazing as ever. Thank you Kamauu.
There are some amazing covers of hey ya but none are better than this!
+Ferhan Saleem can you point me to them? I love this song.
I want to like this a thousand times
Why isn't this man big by now? This is cold bruh!
I really love this so much! Kamau is exceptionally talented and so is everyone else involved in this. An amazing cover of Outkast's Hey Ya! What a blessing to get to listen to this! Happy Juneteenth and Happy Father's Day to everyone!
I been coming back to this song for years now still bad to the bone
3 Stacks would be so proud! This is an awesome cover!
Thought this was chance the rapper but this is lit
They would sound too similar though I think.
I never realized how deep this song is. Amazing work!
OMG, this guy just blew my mind! All the musicians here are great! And he really looks like Andre3k.
Every once in a while I gotta comeback to listen to this masterpiece🔥🔥🔥🔥

amen! bit of good vibes is what the world could do with at the moment
Love it, I love that you actually dared to be a little different.. your own unique self
2:25 is insane I love this so much!!
Also really need this on Apple Music 🙏🏽
I'm telling you! I replayed that part sooo many times, ugh so good.

I used to dance in my garage to the original when I was around 7 years old. This brought me back to the happiness I felt as a child. Thank you.
i always come back to this
Beautiful production and arrangement. I love being surprise by a different approach on something well known.
Thank you Kamau, rediscovering this song has been a delight!
this is the 1st piece of music that made me cry actual tears.
listen to Jacob collier
Wow. Just coming across this now! But it's been on repeat for dayssss!!
Kamau, brother, you've done an incredible job here !!
Art
This is GENIUS. OMG. Fantastic freaken job. Lord, Have mercy. Dayummmmmmmm
So I'm late to this Kamauu party. He opened for BJ The Chicago Kid and he performed this. I was blown away. Now I gotta make up for the 3 years I've haven't listened to this.
Here at 250,000 and this should have millions
About two weeks ago, i remember it was less than 80,000. I'd say this is on its way to the millions :)
695,000 now!
Tiny Wunder 1 million!
Tiny Wunder 1.2 million
We did it guys!
Omg put this on Spotify!! This is incredible
It's on Spotify!!!
The version on Spotify has like dubstep on it, am I on the right one?
Morgan Freeman yeah it is the dub version. But you can download this version on their soundcloud page. That's what I did
The vibe is real
Truly this dude is amazing
This might be my favourite cover of any song, so beautiful 🙏
This is actual gold. Thank you for creating this
I’m still here supporting 😤✊
Found this on twitter and im so in love i need to hear more of him
Omgoodness🤯🔥🔥🔥
Hell yeah to this hey yeah.

HEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY YAAAAAAAAAAAA :D

Bridge hook? Yes its ok to cry
This blew me away and touched my soul! Amazing!
6 years later. Still hooked
i come back to this cover every year or so and i become obsessed with it all over again
I sometimes like this version better than the original
Always
Only sometimes….JK. They are both amazing.
I do feel that Kamauu is carrying on the energy of 3K into the next generation
