When I was young and OutKast was cool and the strains of "Hey Ya" could be heard from every radio and television, I thought it was a happy dancy party song. I mean, even the Peanuts gang got their groove on to that song.
But these days, listening to the acoustic version and actually understanding the parts of the lyrics that aren't in the chorus? (Everything that's not 'Hey' or 'Ya'.) It's kind of a stone cold bummer.
Except when he says "Don't make me break it down for nothing." That's kind of funny.
