That intro didn't hold up with the line up changes. Volk round 2 tko
Get that bag, Finn!
The irony of Hey Ya being classified as a wedding song, when the lyrics are about divorce and doomed relationships in general 😂 Also Mr Brightside is STILL charting to this day, which is absolutely insane to me.
It’s a good song that’s why it’s still charting
The whole point of Hey Ya was to be all of those things you listed. My understanding is that Andre 3000 was aware that lyrical content could be terribly depressing, but no one cares if the hook is catchy and makes people dance. So your take was pretty much affirmation of the whole point of the song.
I was surprised he called it a wedding song, lol. I'd never play it at a wedding in a million years. I feel like, if you played it at a wedding, you'd have to be hating the relationship and passive-aggressively slipping it onto the DJ list, lol.
The shine came off the song as I slowly became aware of the lyrics after repeated listens. The lyrics are actually the reason I rarely listen to it anymore, it's just really pessimistic lol
@aerialpunk to be fair, "One" by U2 is a very popular wedding song. People aren't good at paying attention.
"this is the don't stop believing of Y2K"
With the amount of times I've heard this song sung awfully at karaoke at the local dive bar when I was going to college, I confirm this as a certified fact.
It’s one verse and chorus sung twice. Amazing for karaoke!
A bit of background on the Daft Punk video in case anyone wants it. Their Discovery album that the song is from is the soundtrack to “Interstella5555,” an anime film that that they produced in cooperation with Toei Animation (Dragon Ball, Sailor Moon, One Piece, etc.). Leiji Matsumoto was the director on the film, and his visual style is heavily incorporated. He’s well known for his shows made in the 70s and 80s, such as Captain Harlock, Galaxy Express 999, and Space Battleship Yamato.
"This doesn't feel like a song, it's more of a hook".
A simple "this is house music" would've sufficed.
I knew Finn was the king of hot takes, but I'm not gonna lie, his opinion on Outkast has left me truly stunned...
its clear he hasnt heard much of them if he thinks Hey Ya is representative of their output
@@chadhenry961 TBF he did mention ATLiens, but his take is still smoldering. And S/LB is still pretty good, just got completely overplayed
@@karl_margs He said ATLiens was ok, but its clear most of his disdain is towards Hey Ya which he sees as their signature song cause of its success, though its really part of an Andre 3000 solo album packaged with a Big Boi solo album as Outkast. And yeah are good as a whole, although in the mainstream Hey Ya's success overshadows everything else on both records and possibly the entire Outkast discography.
It's ironic he hates the song considering the song's lyrics lol.
Haven’t gotten there yet but thanks for the warning. OutKast is a top fiver for me so now I’m prepared.
"I only know the hook". Early 2000s Daft Punk should be called "just the hook".
Haha! I remember hating Around The World when I was like 11 because it was just that one line!
I always thought deadmaus "this is the hook" was kinda a joke on that era of electronica/dance
Dance music is structured completely differently from rock and pop music, so it seems like "just the hook" if you're expecting a different song structure.
But TBF "One More Time" was mid when it came out (house heads didn't like it) esp. compared to what they did on "Homework".
Around the world.. around the world .. around the world
It's the pop music version of Emmure (entire song is a breakdown)
Mr Brightside is #61 on the UK Billboard SIngles Chart right now. Killers weren't really a hipster band. I remember associating Hot Fuss and Songs About Jane together as very mainstream rock that older people liked.
Take it Off by The Donnas aged a lot better than the song you picked.
Mr Brightside is huge in the UK, it’s the longest-charting single on the UK Singles Chart Top 100, having spent 365 weeks (7 years) on the chart as of June 10, 2023.
People joke saying it’s our unofficial National Anthem. It’s crazy watching the recent footage from Reading Festival, and most of the people in the audience weren’t even born when the song came out, yet are screaming along every single word.
genuinely the most common song I hear at parties. Like only two or three times have I not heard this song played
Our unofficial national anthem is Don't Look Back in Anger. So those people are wrong.
@@blacksunshine7485 never heard Don't Look back in Anger at a party, I hear Mr Brightside 80% of the time when I go out
@agonzalez7095 We're not talking about parties. We're talking about national anthems which would mean all occasions and frequency on those occasions. I've heard Don't Look Back in Anger at about every sporting event in the country, weddings, birthdays, karaoke, you name it. It may not be a party song, but a national anthem isn't either. It's about overall popularity and frequency. The Cha Cha Slide has arguably been played more at distasteful parties around the world but no one would name that a national anthem. You have to ask yourself what would make a national anthem? Being played a ton at parties doesn't cut it. It has to carry national relevance and Don't Look Back in Anger has reached that level of British cultural significance. Played at all moments of national 'togetherness'.
@@blacksunshine7485 I did say people JOKE about it being our national anthem, not that it is. I think we’re comparing two very different songs to each other.
I get where you’re coming from, I know Don’t Look Back In Anger has been big in our culture, especially after what happened at the Ariana Grande concert in Manchester.
You could also argue something like Seven Nation Army or Sweet Caroline as that is chanted at pretty much any sports match/big social event and played at hundreds of parties a year, and still get hundreds of plays on radio and other medias still. So does Don’t Look Back.
I feel like Mr. Brightside, despite being written by an American band, and not really having the emotional brevity of DLBIA, just seems to bring everybody together in a lets party sort of way. It seems to be handed down to the younger generation, whereas, as much as Oasis are still regarded as one of our biggest bands, it doesn’t seem to travel over to the younger generation. Perhaps that song has negative connotations? As I have no doubt in my mind some younger peoples first exposure to that song may have been after the attacks in Manchester.
We’re all entitled to our opinions my dude, you keep on being you 👍🏻
Mr Brightside has an undeniable catchy chorus. It also has a simple cool guitar sound combined with 80’s synth. But the best thing is the under appreciated drumming. Very good song with an 80’s vibe that holds up.
Video does suck.
BoyMortos calling it the Don't Stop Believing of Y2K (4:46 ) is a perfect description that I will think about every time I hear this song
It's one of the few songs with a synth that I absolutely love, but then again I'm a white millennial so of course I love Mr. Brightside 😂
@@mattduffyw99 yeah, but it sounds more like a sped up Boys of Summer than Don't Stop Believin, musically and lyrically.
Aquemini was an absolutely groundbreaking album for hip hop and it still easily holds up today. I’m not the biggest outkast fan in the world but that album is amazing. To this day there’s still nothing else like it in the genre
If you like aquemini, start with southernplayalisticcadillacmusic and move to atliens. Elevators has one of the greatest verses of andre’s career.
“What kind of car you drive?
I know y’all paid
You got all that loot from all the songs that y’all done made
I replied that I’d been going through the same things that he had
True I’ve got more fans than the average man
But not enough loot to last me
To the end of the week
I live by the beat
Like you live check to check
If you don’t move your feet
Then we don’t eat
So we like neck to neck
Hey Ya! is a black sheep hit that is not representative of Outkast as a whole, The Love Below is really an Andre 3000 retro pop solo album which was packaged as an Outkast double album alongside Big Boi solo album Speakerboxx (which has a hip hop sound closer to Outkast). Hey Ya being more pop than their typical sound is why it got more airplay and a wider/whiter fanbase who tend to overlook their hip hop stuff. In contrast many serious Outkast fans see Hey Ya! as a bit overrated and their more typical experimental hip hop (like breakout hit Ms. Jackson) as superior
Judging Outkast on just Hey Ya! Is in my opinion like Judging a race of people off their skin color....OutKast has some straight up bangers!!! I don't think they get enough respect
@@mindseye1234567 Judging bands/artists off their most mainstream song is a very Finn Mckenty thing to do. To be fair he does often go back and reevaluate them if the outcry is strong enough
I-Empire is an awesome album! I think +44 could have been better if Carol hadn't left.
"Hey Yeah" is awesome, and the lyrics are so sad... I thought the point of the song was to show/talk about how "the majority doesn't listen they just want a catchy beat". Doesn't he even mumble something like that at some point before the final chorus? I thought things like this are the appeal of Andre3000's career/writing and maybe why people might like/culty the dude.
Also, Daft Punk was great, and this album was too, a lot of the French touch and Paris youth finding their own movement of expression through sampling the old, feeling/representing it well but making it their own.
The thing I hate is how music/art is assimulated and filtered through... American Capitalism lens. And that becomes what people identify the music/art with.
For a punk, I would have hoped Finn would have picked up, on the above, or maybe he did and I missed something, doesn't matter. Just wanted to say I like both.
The more I watch this channel, the more I forget that this _has_ to be a troll persona spitting these takes. It's, basically, tailored to get a music nerd's blood boiling. I'd suspect it takes some extra research into some of the topics discussed to create such effective shit takes, while still keeping them sounding as if coming from a (comparatively more ignorant than said research would necessitate) American style marketing-driven pop lover's perspective.
That is hilarious that people are saying Mr.Brightside is a wedding song but it’s like….do y’all know the song is about cheating? 😂😂
Hey Ya! is also pretty depressing
Not just cheating, but specifically paranoia and jealousy around it, imagining all the worst details and making yourself feel bad. But it’s tied to this gloriously anthemic tune!
Overall I think the feeling is almost a big celebration of your flaws, and I get why it ends up being played at weddings and stuff. I think there was even a viral video where everyone was singing it acapella after a funeral
I have lived most of my millennial life thinking I was crazy for being unable to listen to that Outkast song. Seriously - I thought I've been losing my mind every 20 seconds or so since I was 12 -- because that's how frequently I heard it.
Thank you. I feel seen.
I was around 21 when that song came out. You couldn't go to a bar without hearing that or that crappy irish DropKick Murphys song. I actually didn't mind the Outcast song but the other was just terrible.
That Killers tune was especially huge, and still is, in the UK. Something like hundreds of weeks on thetop 40 there
I worked in a music store in the UK during the 00's and I must attest, the debut Killers record was fucking HUGE. All the singles did really well too. The only bigger album I can think of in the UK around that time was the Arctic Monkeys debut which was maybe a year later.
Funny is The Killers are an American band lol Kinda like U2 are Irish, but try to sound like American.
@@gx1tar1er He does have a British-ish sound to his vocals. Kind of like some 90s punk and alt rock bands
Peak of "indy" (yeah I know it's not the right term but its the best I got) getting played at student nights, clubs etc
@@dan44zzt231 absolutely! Mid 00's was peak indie in the UK. The BBC comedy series Gavin & Stacey is a great pop culture example of how popular the scene was in the mainstream at the time. The soundtrack is like a time capsule.
Killers “Hot Fuss” is one of the best albums to come out in the past 20 years, probably one of the best debut albums of all time as well. It’s odd as I didn’t take to it at the time when it was released (I was just entering high school when it came out), but in my later 20’s I was blown away by it. Was just a really cool blend of the Cars, Duran Duran, the Cure, & Depeche Mode, with a singer reminiscent of Roy Orbison. Even with their influences a bit on their sleeves, they still managed to put there own individual stamp on their sound though.
Their follow up material got a bit Springsteen’ish, was okay, but not close to the vibe they had on Hot Fuss.
“The Entire Point of Anime is Jiggle” 😂😂😂😂
+44 was my favorite side Blink project. During that time Travis was the child of divorce and Boxcar was solid but I preferred +44s side of the tracks. I always liked Mark's writing a bit more. But I agree that Blink isn't Blink without Tom
Was at a wedding this past Saturday. Mr. Brightside was the only rock song played at the reception.
Didn't know Finn was such a cultured gentleman within the realm of anime. Thanks Daft Punk! and Finn for another banger video ♥
Anime is trash
One More Time is just a loop and not a song; I'm actually pretty surprised Finn would say that! Ya, I basically agree, but then there are multiple genres of EDM that are mostly just a loop modified with different effects and dropped here and there throughout the length of the "song"
electronica is bassicaly not really about the songs . folk is about the songs, rock is about the songs...classical music is not , most of electronic music also
@@jakubberan2720 Depends on the classical, depends on the Rock, and depends on the EDM. There are songs and subgenres that defy those compositional qualifiers.
Yeah I see so many people into rock and pop but not house and techno that completely misunderstand dance music composition. If you're expecting a verse chorus structure, of course a layered and progressive structure is just gonna sound like loops.
@@plusmin09 yes, but most of the classical music is not the songs. songs are verse,chorus bridge kinda structure. really simple in its core.
Dance music often also does not put emphasis on songwriting - see Chic for example.
its more like grooves than songs...but agree, depends on each piece i guess
@@karl_margsexactly :)
That ‘OutKast is a band people decided we were supposed to like’ and ‘I don’t understand the OutKast worship’ part is how I feel about Pink Floyd
Epic hot take. I agree though. I’ve never understood why I am supposed to like Pink Floyd OR outcast.
“Hey Ya”itself absolutely slaps though.
The Killers always give me the vibe of like... it's the scene right before the end credits in the OC and Ashleigh and Bryannaugh are having issues with their boyfriends and go out for a girls night out to talk and the camera pans to the sunset as their locking their pinkies together. A song by The Killers is likely playing during this scene.
They were on The OC actually!
@@FinnMckentyPRMBA WELL HECK!!! 🤣. It makes total sense, especially around that time!
@@John_TheDrummer I believe they played Smile Like You Mean It
@@nadineseguin6977you are correct! And I believe Mr. Brightside as well.
All I know is that Finn is here to say the EXACT opposite of anything Anthony Fantano says
Best Music Video ✅
Very understandable ✅
Very epic music ✅
No bad words ✅
No inappropriate images ✅
Mr. Brightside being a wedding anthem is proof that lyrics don't matter to folks. The song is great but the lyrics are crushing.
I do audio for a wedding band. By my experience, there are very few songs that make everyone flock to the dance floor like Mr Brightside.
An an electronic music fan. One More Time was more than just that shopping music track in the background.
It single-handedly along with the entire Discovery album bring electronic music into the radio mainstream. Before then, rave or even euro dance trance etc etc were occasionally known globally but the impact wasn’t as huge to the average audience, it was still quite niche.
Then Daft Punk release this album and this track. A nod to where electronic dance music started with disco. And brought together the blueprint for the festival , edm, dj culture we have today.
After this album everything changed , and the way we understand electronic music can be pin pointed here.
So maybe it doesn’t hold up but I do think it’s influence is immense! I know in your older video you mentioned Skrillex as doing the same which i agree but it couldn’t of been possible without Daft Punks Discovery and this track as well as Harder,Better,Faster Stronger !
Their Alive 2006/2007 tour forever changed the game. Electronic festivals took that concept and ran with it. It's true too, Skrillex attended one of the shows and it influenced him and his solo work. They really accomplished so much during their entire run. Just wish I could've seen them live
I loved The Donnas. I saw them play live 4 or 5 times in the Phoenix area before the band broke up. They were always a lot of fun. Plus, I miss being able to see one of my favorite bands from about 20 feet away for $25. I would love to see you or Professor of Rock do a "where are they now" episode on The Donnas.
Somehow, "Mr. Brightside" has become the 3rd quarter break song for University of Michigan football games in recent years. The whole student section sings along and even continues the song after it stops playing. I don't think it hits as hard as "Jump Around" at Wisconsin games, but it works.
OutKast has the best album run of any Hip Hop group in the 90s
Classic after classic
A Tribe Called Quest’s first three albums top OutKast’s 90’s input. ‘Aquemini’ is epic though.
Phife and Q Tip are the blueprint for dynamic duos in Hip Hop but Andre 3000 and Big Boi took it to astronomical levels.
More variety in beats and rap styles.
Aquemini and ATliens easily go toe to toe with Low End Theory and Midnight Marauders. OutKast’s debut trumps ATCQ’s debut, BR&L, and TLM. And we’re not even mentioning Stankonia
which would be the final nail in the ATCQ coffin.
After the old people left our wedding reception we went straight 90’s hip hop.
I ironically found myself listening Mr. Brightside last week. 😅
Also for Daft Punk, thats just how dance music is. I'd say most dont have lyrics at all. I've been in the dance music world since 1990 and actually prefer songs with zero or minimal (repeating) lyrics. Plus Daft Punk was more acid jazz (genre) so it's gonna hit a little different compared to similar electro/house genres. ALSO just remembered i bought this vinyl last month ironically as well.😂
daft punk has never been acid jazz wtf 😂
So the reason why Daft Punk's videos for Discovery look like 70's anime is because the creator of Galaxy Express 999, Space Battleship Yamato (Star Blazers) and Space Pirate: Captain Harlock, Leiji Matsumoto. He directed a movie for the entire Discovery album, but only a few select songs were selected for music video airtime. The guys from Daft Punk were big fans of Matsumoto's work and recruited him for this project. As far as Finn's take on "One More Time" goes, i don't think he's off base. Not my favorite song from discovery by a longshot. Aerodynamic, Face to Face, Crescendolls and Something About us all much better songs.
I still remember when the music video for one more time debuted on adult swim in like 2001 I think. It was that, another one of their songs, then they also had the Gorillaz "clint eastwood" and "19/2000"
"it's not a song, it's a loop"
I mean, that's just EDM as a whole.
That Daft Punk album was fun to listen to just for the bass thumping in our riced-out cars.
“Hey Ya” isn’t the best representation of why people like Outkast tbh.
Uptown Funk is the ultimate white-person wedding song.
Give it another decade and maybe. That song fucking slaps though!
I was an 18 year old delivery biker at the VERY end of the "PBR and fixed gear" trend, you reminding me of that hit me like an absolute truck
Mr Brightside: The unofficial anthem for British "lads" on holiday in Spain.
Hey Ya! was played such a ridiculous amount back in 2003 and 2004. Because of that, I despised it back then. Then it went away and I blissfully didn't have to think about the song ever again. Until 2 weeks ago when it came on while I was in the pen aisle at Target. It completely blindsided me. All those repressed memories and emotions came roaring back. There are a lot of songs that I disliked from 20+ years ago that now make me smile with nostalgia, but this is not one of them.
I personally think that Speakerboxx/LoveBelow era was shoved into peoples ears like plague. Not that i was against Outkast, but that shit was in all charts like all station just decided that its a revelation or a masterpiece. Of course now i believe that labesl staight up pay mtv and radio stations to play this all day long.
Moreso the love below than speakerboxx, since the former was more pop leaning, to the point that a few fans from that era weren't aware that outkast was a hip hop group and Andre 3000 wasn't the only member
Outkast wax a seminal hip-hop group, but by the time they got to releasing Speakerboxx/The Love Below the group was so already falling apart and having major issues with their record label, and the whole project was essentially two solo albums by Big Boi and Andre 3000. Hey Ya was by far their most accessible track, but they had better hip-hop tracks with ATLiens, Rosa Parks, B.o.B. (Bombs Over Baghdad), Ms Jackson, So Fresh So Clean, and The Whole World.
I swear to God, until today I thought 'One More Time' was a public domain song!!
The official order is
1. Blink (with Tom)
2.Angels&Airwaves
3.Boxcar racer
4.Literally anything Travis does
5.Blink (w/o Tom)
6.+44
7. Simple creatures
Yes
That flared look is coming back Finn. The circle is swinging back. My daughter's have rode the entire circle. The oldest was all skinny jeans, now my youngest is into the looser fit stuff.
I like that high waists are back. I remember every girl I went to school with wearing flaired out legs and low waisted pants with a thong sticking out. Looking back it's pretty tacky. Also the tube top over the long sleeve.
But hey, I wore a long sleeve under my system of a down t shirt with jorts to my ankles, a solid crust of ice spiker in my hair and a chain wallet...
Angels and Airwaves were always so good. Tom knows how to write hooks and memorable songs.
Outkast was just stunning with their first albums as they really did their own thing. Hey Ya was making a sad song upbeat and catchy. The sleep token cover just makes it a sad slow song. (Not as good as their whitney houston cover).
Angels and Airwaves is why I clicked on this video. I couldn't fathom somebody putting a song of theirs on a "worst" list.
“The hipster bar on the other side of town” 😭💀
The lyrics to Outkast are the complete opposite to the vibe of the song. So I enjoy hearing covers of this song that suit the lyrics. Like Sleep Tokens cover
Couldn’t agree more about Angels & Airwaves. When I first heard them in 2006 I thought the music was boring and soft. I wanted it to sound more like blink as well. Then, when blink announced their 2009 return, wanting to hear “new” music from the band, I decided the closest thing was to revisit AvA. That’s when I realized how great the band really is, especially their first two albums. When I assess the greatness of a musician, I tend to look past technical skills. Of course becoming a world class singer is difficult, but I’ve always appreciated great song writing and feel/emotion in music above all else, and Tom’s got it.
"The entire point of anime is jiggle." Thank you, Finn.
Mr brightside is literally one of the most popular songs to be released in the last 20 years. Has like 260 weeks on the UK Charts, on and off for 15 years.
I think they went mega in UK and Ireland while being very successful in the US but not hitting the same peak. Hot Fuss absolutely exploded in Ireland I remember that well
"When at my wedding do I play Thousand Foot Krutch? The entire time" I am deceased
All the talking about Wedding Songs reminded me of two Weddings:
There was this wedding, where there was a quite traditional opening with some cliché Waltz, some random feelgood song for the Father-Daughrer dance, some other random safe song... And then the fourth song - where the Dancefloor became a moshpit.
2. my own Wedding - our brides Waltz (if its caled that in english, roughly translated from German) was from Blind Guardian. We basically skipped all the "safe stuff" - but we had a metal themed Wedding... So Nobody was surprised.
"Anime.. boobs.. jiggle" had me on the floor
Everyone needs to revisit the +44 CD… it’s got some gems
In the UK Mr brightside is basically a second national anthem, it's played at the end of every club night, it's our equivalent to closing time by semisonic.
Radio/strip club DJ Finn is the best Finn
I don’t think most people who idolize OutKast consider hey ya a high point in their discog…
No outkast fan does lmao. Finn sounding like a know-it-all when it’s clear he hasn’t listen to the rest of outkast’s discography (Finn does this with every artists that are critically praised online). Stankonia is considered their high point
OutKast is one of the best hip-hop groups of all time and one of the best music groups of all time. The fact that Finn doesn't like them just speaks to his lack of music knowledge and he absolutely F tier taste.
Well, I was at a wedding that Sworn Enemy played this weekend so my wedding song perspective is skewed.
"+44 was the weakest blink side project" absolute L take.
Simple Creatures literally exists 💀
Animated movie of the 70s and the playlist is turning into a wedding
Finn doesn't like conscious, rappity rappers, so i can see why he doesnt like OutKast
You can't have this conversation without throwing The Black Eyed Peas in there. They have a lot of awful songs, but My Humps, Boom Boom Pow and I gotta feeling might be the worst.
The killers were hipster bands in the States back then? Crazy It was a major mainstream hit over here in the UK. It is an anthem for our gen haha
AvA forever. The adventure is still a bop.
That Donnas song is from a movie, also the dudes on the video were from a movie when they wanted to be pro skaters or some shit like that, I do not remember the name of the movie tho.
Mr. Brightside is still in the freakin UK top 100 at number 61 after 19 years 😱
Spend the Night is a straight up fun ass album. The Donnas were pretty underrated. Maybe nothing too unique or whatever, but solid at what they did and I think that album is still enjoyable.
I feel exactly the same as you do about 'Hey Ya' and 'Mr Brightside'. I live in the UK and I have not been able to escape The Killers for almost two decades.
Hey Ya is one of those songs that I think is a good song but I could do without hearing it again. But ATLiens, Aquemini, and Stankonia are all classics in my opinion.
The Killers - Mr Brightside is the song guaranteed to make all us white people get up on the dancefloor 😂
Heard that joke somewhere and found it funny
This was the song played on Karaoke Fridays. Band kids loved it.
You'll find me in the kitchen then, talking with "the ethnics"
Mr Brightside is the wonderwall of the 2000s, great tune massively overplayed
"Hot Fuss" by The Killers was the best album of the 2000s, closely followed by "Discovery" by Daft Punk.
In my 30s.. and im still into the campy cabaret.
Re the Daft Punk music video. For the album Discovery Daft Punk got Toei Animation to create a whole anime movie called Interstellar 5555. Had the box set which came with the album and movie. Film had no dialogue just the album in order with the visuals.
If I ever meet Finn, we will bond over our hatred of anything and everything hipster related.
One more time still holds up amazingly well
I like "Sorry Mrs. Jackson" quite a lot. "Hey ya" kind of grinds my gears these days.
Word. Not a big outkast fan but Mrs. Jackson's not bad
Mr. Brightside has gained some kind of new popularity among college students. Particularly at Michigan they play it at football games between the 3rd and 4th quarter. The whole student section belts it out. It’s their version of Jump Around at Wisconsin.
Interesting vibe, I always loved the song though.
Haven't seen this many toxic comments in the first hour since that time Finn made fun of Chino's shoes.
17:20 White Person wedding playlist, HAS to include Living on a Prayer, Don't Stop Believing, that Rock me Momma like a wagon wheel song, and Crazy Little Thing Called Love. Maybe even chuck in Angels by Robbie Williams and Heaven by Bryan Adams as slow dances.
Oh and Smashmouth's version of I'm a Believer
Promoting gambling is a big no-no.
Word on both the Donna's and Hey Ya - my son went to the 'school of rock' (it was awesome, he learned a lot and had a great time) but his group did 'Hey Ya' and i had to hear that goddammed song for 6 fucking months and i wanted to blow my brains out
I never thought of mr bright side as a hipster song but maybe that’s cause I was that kid that wasn’t popular but was literally somehow friends with everyone some how 😂 hicks skaters preps emos everyone and everyone loved that song all groups so to me that will always just be my generations hit like it’s just that one song everyone loved
Sleep Token's version of Hey Ya gets the emotion of the lyrics across better.
Outkast's version is really deep, though. It's super ironic you say "wedding song" when the meaning behind the song is anything but that. I mean Andre even mentions it in the song itself. Says ya'll don't want to hear me, you just want to dance. It's actually super depressing, but wrapped in a very upbeat catchy dance tune. Was really genius for the time and honestly, I think it still holds up for that. For proof, just look at any top 20 list and you can find another example of this somewhere. It's literally the same thing Motion City Soundtrack does. Uses deep, dark lyrics but wraps them in a more upbeat tune.
If you're playing "Hey Ya" at your wedding it isn't meant to be 😂. Andre 3000 literally sings "I don't want to meet your daddy, just want you in my caddy" 😂😂😂
One thing that you and I will have in common we both don’t like hipsters haha
Finn really putting me on blast when he was eviscerating Hey Ya 😆
The Razr had a QWERTY keyboard. I don't need a camera on a phone, I have my digital camera.
its so funny, because i think most people, like myself didn't see why a phone needed a carmera. now it just seems like a no-brainer
Mr. Brightside holds up. It has an 80' s vibe and it's The Killers best song in my opinion.
Mr Brightside is the unofficial uk national anthem
Yea as a rap fan I never got the Outkast hype. ATLiens is a classic and they have great songs. But they get held to this weird standard especially Andre 3000 like he’s this lyrical God. Very weird.
I pretty much agree about the Daft Punk song - it IS just a loop. The thing about Daft Punk and rave (to use the term loosely) music is it's more about the experience of being in a crowded room full of people, who are just escaping reality for awhile and the music can be simple or complex. The big magic of Daft Punk and their "loopy" tracks, would be in the performance and via live automation and modulation of the song. In that regard, you're not listening to the same thing for 5-10 minutes, as it's changing, throughout. You can't see them perform anymore, so yeah, some of their music is a bit "stale" sounding but then again, their early stuff is 90s inspired and somewhat a product of it's time.
The Killers are low key one of the greatest rock bands of all time
Old Outkast was great. Then they came out with this album. I don't even consider this an Outkast album. It was 2 side projects from each member slapped together in a double album and called Outkast. Not good at all. But everything before this was 🔥
I was a huge fan of Outkast waaaaaay before Speakerboxxx/ The Love Below. In fact, didn't like that album at first. You cannot possibly judge Outkast by "Hey Ya", since this was the first time they went completely alternative (Well, at least Andre 3000), but they were already massively successful before then. Hey Ya is a MF banger though, still to this day.
