The acoustic cover of OutKast's insane dance-fever infecting song is just as cool. Recently featured on the ever-hilarious TV comedy Scrubs, this is a successful acoustic cover. Or, I like it.
Aforementioned cover is covered by Mat Weddle (right), a pretty cool sounding guy who also plays in the band Obadiah Parker. Says Weddle on his MySpace music page,
"Hi! My name is Mat. I play guitar and sing in a band called Obadiah Parker. Occasionally, I play guitar and sing all by myself in bars and restaurants and clubs and LA Fitness (well, I guess that was only once but it’s worth mentioning). I play a lot of original songs as well as a whole bunch of covers. Here’s a big list of people that I have covered: Radiohead, Bjork, Counting Crows, Dave Matthews, Bill Withers, Al Green, Foo Fighters, Damien Rice, Spoon, Neil Young, Coldplay, Marvin Gaye, Oasis, and Pedro the Lion. Oh yeah, and Outkast."
Although Obadiah Parker, and Weddle himself, remain unsigned to a label, they have released a live album which, according to Weddle, was extremely successful on iTunes.
Activities you should undertake whilst listening to this song:
Napping, reading the latest Rolling Stone (and eagerly anticipating going to see Synecdoche, New York, reviewed in aforementioned Latest Rolling Stone), thoughtfully considering the next keyring you will add to your collection (bottle opener shaped like a kangaroo, or bottle opener shaped like Australia? Perhaps a non-patriotic bottle-opener would be more desirable? Oh dear), or maybe expressing excitement for the Scrubs Finale (forever, apparently), set to air, should all go to plan, on Prime at 8:00 on the 1st of June.
In summary, this is my acoustic-chill-song-that-I-already-know-all-the-words-to-because-I-used-to-collect-So-Fresh-CDs-song of the moment.
LINKS
Unfortunately, embedding had been disabled, and it's too late at night for me to believe that an attempt at conjuring up HTML magic from my MySpace days will end in success, so a link will have to suffice in the meantime.
Get some more info on The Guy Behind It, should you wish.
Get behind the guy, and the band he's in. Cause every cool guy is in a band.
Enjoooooy the moment.
