"... someone on the CBC calls the new Outkast song (Hey Ya!) 'the only hip hop song influenced by the Pixies'"
I think someone mentioned this song in a previous post. If you got a sense of humor check out this here below more Pixies-ized cover:
The Blankket's cover

The original version is being hailed by Radiohead's Thom Yorke as single of the year. Personally, to me the first 2 minutes or so of it ain't so bad. |

A really good song, but I can't find any similarity with Pixies |

I actually figured out a chord progression for this on guitar, but I can't recall it right now. It probably was'nt in the right key. It'd be cool song for a guitar-cover!

There's a definite similarity with the chorus in Wave of Mutilation. Can't you hear it?

ya i think its only somewhat good and very popular is because theirs a melody in it which doent make u wanna take your radio out and smash it into a million pieces, hip hops just not my cup of tea, too repetative. |

i think the very simple chord progression makes this a good one for me. G, C, D, E all the way through and it still sounds cool.

I really don't understand what makes THIS song so great. Seems like every other dance number to me... fun (and definitely booty shaking, if not head-cramming) but not interesting. Might as well play Sandstorm right after it in my opinion.

NOW IF SOMEONE COULD CONVINCE THAT GROUP TO DROP THE RAP IN THEIR SONGS, I'D BUY AN ALBUM THAT WAS ALONG THE LINES OF 'HEY YA". |

There's a non-standard rhythm thing throughout the song that's kinda Pixies-esque. But it's been done before in hip-hop many, many times. That's the only similarity I recognize. |

Except for on here. Everyone here seems to like it. And so they should.  |

Where did that quote come from and who said it? I don't hear the Pixies in 'Hey Ya!'. |

My Puerto Rican buddy, whose music tastes are sometimes questionable, put this on in the car and said, "Here's something you'll like". Funny how he was right.

I'm still not tired of "Hey Ya". "Dracula's Wedding" is great but I usually skip once she starts reciting the wedding verses. |

"Hey Ya" is a really great song but I think I like the song "Roses" from that album more.. :)

I second Johnny Yen. "She lives in my lap" and "Behold a Lady" are good ones too. |

Ergh, "Dracula's WEdding" bores me. I'm big into "Spread" and "Ghetto Musick". Anywho, that song doesn't really sound anything like a pixies version of "Hey Ya". i like the bad bass sound, tho. |

It may not go anywhere, but I don't think it really has to.
It goes from point A to point B
And in between you shake your booty

I love Hey Ya! I can't listen to it without shaking my booty. It's such a silly fun song.

It's an interesting song, definitely catchy and good to hear from a hip hop group, but it got old for me pretty quickly...it doesn't really go anywhere. Dracula's Wedding is cooler.
