First a song because I'm currently obsessed with it. I gotta say I love a song that's talking about something deeper yet propelled by a good beat. It is impossible not to at least tap your feet when this shit comes on. It gets in your bones, man.
Ya'll don't want to hear me
You just want to dance
(Hey Ya.. Hey Ya
Hey Ya.. Hey Ya
Hey Ya.. Hey Ya
Hey Ya.. Hey Ya)Oh oh!
Oh oh!
Don't want to meet your daddy (Oh oh!)
Just want you in my Caddy (Oh oh! Oh oh!)
Don't want to meet your momma (Oh oh!)
Just want to make you come-a (Oh oh!)
I'm (Oh oh!)
I'm (Oh oh!)
I'm just being honest (Oh oh!)
I'm just being honestHey! Alright now!
Alright now, fellas! (Yeah!)

I say what's, what's cooler than being cool? (Ice cold!)

Shake it like a polaroid picture
Shake it, sh-shake it (Hey ya!)
Shake it, sh-shake it
Shake it, shake it
Shake it, sh-shake it (Shake it sugar!)
Shake it like a polaroid picture
Anyhoo...
To keep it brief: I felt like a freak for having the guts to wear a costume (only my wig was really visible) on the way out. I mean, *gasp* who the fuck wears costumes on Halloween?! Sorrry. Flavorpill party with TLL. Good times and free booze. VHS or Beta were pretty fun and Lindsey Caldwell is a kick ass DJ. Remembered fun fact: breasts are good for attention. Then again, I don't like attention. Cockblocked with cruelty. That home girl will never know how close she was to getting punched out. Alas, I'm resilient and moved on. Ended up at Sapph, where the party was still going as I left at 6:30ish. They don't quit in that piece. Another observed fact: I seem to send out a druggie pheromone. I listened to "Hey Ya" four times in a row. I got home at 2:30pm and I'm still going out tonight. Where is this energy coming from?

That type of behavior does deserve a stingful slap, but then that would be like fighting over some dude, which I simply do NOT do. You just may have inspired a post form me on CBing. Thanx!

Posted by: Candicissima at November 2, 2003 10:27 PMum, whats the deeper meaning in the song? and should i feel dumb that i didnt get it?
Posted by: jay at November 5, 2003 10:28 PMIt's in the lyrics ahead of those. Talking about the failure of a relationship and all that jazz. Like the section I started with began: I don't want to hear it, I just want to dance. :)
Posted by: Candicissima at November 5, 2003 11:57 PMOkay, hopefully this thread isn't dead, but with regard to the 'deeper meaning' of the song - I have two theories. The first I got from some blogger out there stating that Andre was making some commentary about the pop music world and it being false and cheap, copies - like polaroid pictures.
The second occurred to me, and hopefully someone else thought of it, because I don't like the idea that I've got 'it' on the brain - but owing to Mr. Andre 3000 desire to get her in his caddy, and to 'comma' - could it be that 'shaking it like a polaroid picture' is a little more sinister than realised, and has little to do with photos?
Don't want to break any rules, but that action of shaking with the hand (if you remove the photo) is it a simulation for something sexual?
In which case, it's probably not a great idea to be going around copying it!
